Add a little candlelight to your evenings this autumn by getting a couple of Fin Candleholders. Inspired by the hulls of classic boats, the candleholders are constructed from laser cut steel that slots together. They’re resistance welded, so don’t expect them to arrive flat-packed. Do expect them to cast a flattering glow to those gathered around your table.

Okay, now, no need to worry about what to get me for a gift- one of these Illuminated Bookmarks will do just fine. It’s a bookmark printed on a special film with ink that transmits electricity. See the circuit the ink creates? Add a lithium coin battery between the positive and negative ends and you’ve got an LED light. Pretty fun, huh? It’s sure to please any reader that is fond of technology.

Okay, so this isn’t going to appeal to everyone, but hand-painted cutting boards! With abstract shapes! Is that not extremely fun to see in the realm of kitchen tools? They’ve got a good safe mineral oil finish, though you’ll still want to take care and treat these boards as what they are: three quarters utilitarian kitchen staple and one quarter piece of art.

Well, hello there. The Iso Organizer comes in a larger, longer profile, which is pretty perfect for organizing all sorts of papers, mail, and books. It’s made of heavy gauge cold rolled steel (6 lbs.) with a cork underside, so it’ll stay put without scratching the surface underneath. I have the original size (in blue) on my desk and I’m now trying to think if I need this larger version somewhere else. Hmm.

By now, you’ve probably accepted that 2018 is only a couple of months away, so it’s time to get ahead of the game by sorting out your calendar options. This minimal wall calendar has enough room to make all sorts of notes if you so wish, and once you hang it on the wall, your whole month will be laid out before you to organize to your heart’s content. Note how the weekend dates are shifted to the side for easy reference, that’ll keep your work week and time off visually separated.

Know anyone who likes gardening? You now have the perfect gift for them in this Perennial Garden Kit. Two scissors, one pruner, wood stakes, and twine with holder are all held in a tidy pinewood crate. Like I said, perfect, right? And, I think it’s safe to say any gardener can never have too many garden tools (or is that just me?).

Mark your progress in a book or folder with these fun brass paper clips. Four different shapes (2 of each) will definitely keep your spot visible and easily referenced. Might also be perfect for a journal, notebook, or cookbook?

Normally planters this nice would have a cringe-inducing price tag, but the Pidestall Planters seem completely affordable when you spend a little time appreciating their bent metal legs and clean, cylindrical forms. Perfect for indoor or outdoor use, you have your pick of two sizes- Blue/short and Red/tall. It’s time to bring some plants indoors anyways, so you’ve got a reason to add one (or two) of them to your favorite room in the house.

Yes, you saw this Euclid Measuring Cup back in a previous link pack, and now you get to see it again. What’s so special about it? Well, take a look at its funny shape and you’ll see how it’s tapered towards its bottom, and that mathematically optimal design allows for more precise measurements. Small measurements will have the same accuracy as larger ones, which is important for anyone that wants to get recipes just right.

Cast iron bowl, anyone? The little looped handle makes it feel fun, while the heftiness will make sure it stays put. It could live in the kitchen as a salt cellar, in the office for paperclips (or thumb drives?), or even in the bedroom or bathroom for smaller accessories and jewelry.

Uh, brightly colored coasters that form a heart-shaped trivet? Adding to my cart, pronto. Keep a few around to keep your cold/hot drinks from ruining your furniture, and gather them together when you’ve got a hot pot or kettle on the table. Fun!

I think this power strip is almost identical to the JolyJoy Flexible Power Strip on Amazon, except for this version looks like it has one less regular outlet and one more USB port. The flexible joints allow all your bulky power adapters to fit alongside each other on one strip; simply bend it back and forth to accommodate your needs.

This Arid Umbrella Stand uses the inherent properties of terracotta clay to wick away moisture. Smart, right? That’ll dry your umbrella a little faster than an ordinary stand. Also, raise your hand if you’ll be tempted to use it as a planter (*raised hand*).

If you like a subtle gradations of pastel hues, you’re going to love the Aurora Wall Planner.

Keep the months displayed one-by-one, or go with a larger statement and cover one big wall with color.
