Accessories designer Jessica Kagan Cushman practices the art of scrimshaw to transcribe phrases from movies, literature—even New York graffiti—onto A-grade fossilized wooly mammoth ivory bracelets. We adore her line of Nantucket bracelets ($130), which includes pithy sayings on big black and white bangles. There’s a bracelet for practically everyone:

For the caring clothing collector: “No wire hangers! Ever!”
For the diva: “Do you have any idea who I am?”
For the shopaholic: “New shoes cure the blues”
For the sleepy head: “Truly fabulous people never get dressed before lunchtime”
For the angsty-teen: “Bite me” and “Whatever”
For the romantic: “We’ll always have Paris”

See the rest of the hilarious bangles!

Jessica Kagan Cushman is carried at retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Anthropologie, and online at jessicacushman.com.

If you have a loved one whose favorite pastime is hitting up the neighborhood karaoke bar, this gift is for her. Tell her she doesn’t have to step one foot out of the house to perform La Bouche’s “Be My Lover” by giving her this Dual-Microphone Karaoke Machine ($199) from Restoration Hardware. Its 5-1/2” monitor scrolls the lyrics of all the cult-fave karaoke classics, and with a second microphone in tow, the two of you can croon together!
