Your friends just arrived. You’ve invited them over for sushi and sake. “I’ll be right back,” you say with a twinkle in your eye. You return with the brightly colored Sake Bomb in your hands and its four cups perched neatly on top. One friend looks nervous; another, excited. You set the bomb in front of them and begin to pour drinks. Congratulations, you are now a master sake server.
A design inspired by the most luxurious sashimi cut and a WWII sea mine, this compact ceramic bomb keeps hot sake hot, cold sake cold, and your guests asking for more. It’s available in six colors—red’s the newest!
We’ve got your back. It’s holiday crunch time, so we won’t post anything you can’t get on time. Orders placed by Dec. 20th should arrive before Christmas. Here’s Sake Bomb’s Shipping Info.

Boldly go where no other HD video camera can. Maybe you’re Mike Rowe and like to get down and dirty in tiny crawl spaces with a camera strapped to your head. Or perhaps you’re an extreme heli-boarder and like falling from the sky toward a giant mountain with a camera strapped to your head. Either way, this is the camera you want.
A very cool gift for those who enjoy adventure sports and generally riding things that move—think bikers, boarders, skiers, racers, climbers, etc. The ContourHD 1080p Wearable Video Camera captures a point-of-view not typically easy to share with others, in glorious high-def.

Mmmm donuts. Sweet, delicious donuts. Yes, we know it’s cake for breakfast, but we’re going to overlook that for the magic that is this Mini Donut Maker. It makes six ring-shaped puffs of doughy goodness without the mess and calories of deep frying.
It’s safe enough for little bakers too and is compatible with any store-bought donut mix. And the best part? They’re ready in four minutes. That’s only 240 seconds!
Sure an apple a day and all that, but nothing gets me out of bed on a Sunday morning like the call of a fresh donut.

Just because you lug around a chunky SLR doesn’t mean you have to carry an ugly bag. Au contraire. In the same way diaper bags have been redesigned to suit the person carrying them instead of telling the tale of what’s inside, this Classic Leather Camera Satchel is all about you while doing a nice job of protecting your gear.
A camera bag sure to make any photographer swoon—there’s room for a camera, a couple lenses, a phone and your laptop too.

Holstee’s Recycled Wallet is full of win. A smart minimalist design that holds all the essentials—it’s made from recycled plastic bags and newspapers that get litter of the streets of Delhi, and production provides fair wage employment and subsidizes healthcare and education for each employee’s family.
We first fell in love with Holstee because of their Manifesto and continue to be impressed by their mission-driven creations and curated shop.

There’s a lot to look at. We get it. To help you out we’re calling attention to a gift you may have missed, or one we think you shouldn’t. This is the Something for Someone Spotlight.
Imagine how great your table game would be with a paddle that fits like a glove. That’s precisely the idea behind the Brodmann Blades.
The first major innovation in the sport in a over a century—if you can high-five, you can ping pong!
This set of two paddles comes in a nice zippered case with four ping pong balls and two wristbands so you can bring your best Richie Tenenbaum to the game. A seriously great gift for serious and not-so-serious ping-pongers.

There’s something wonderful about candlelight—be it relaxing, romantic, or festive, a flame’s gentle flicker can warm up any space. Put that flame in a handblown glass sphere to hang wherever you’d like, and you’ve got yourself a great little gift idea.
This set of six Whirly Candleholders can be hung in any configuration to suspend a lit tealight or votive over any corner of the room. Creates an inviting party decor or enjoy a sweet retreat all to yourself.
