How much do you want the Rule/One? I guess that all depends how often you measure things, or how often you need a straight line. The Rule/One is a aluminum ruler and a pen, all in one. The pen clicks into place inside the spine of the ruler thanks to a strong magnet. With three interchangeable heads (pen on paper, stylus tablet, or lanyard attachment), you can alter it to suit your needs. Plus, its droplet shape makes it suitable as a bookmark as well.

Is it too late to feature a beach towel? The answer is yes, but who cares, especially as you could throw it over your shoulders as an extra layer, as the designer chose to style it in his spring collection. Or, you could just admire the pattern, and save it for your next escape to the pool/beach/island.

For a subtle touch of pattern, the Finesse Glasses have a grid intricately etched upon their surface. Pair the glasses with the Grid Table Linens for a complete story, or choose the Trick Placement for a fun optical illusion.

Ugh, is it really time to talk about 2018? Let’s face it, as soon as the holidays hit we won’t be in the mood to shop for calendars. So, is this the perfect Wall Calendar, as its name suggests? Maybe. It’s no-nonsense, printed on a textured cover stock, with hidden hanging holes on the back. Note-takers and doodlers will like the wide margins; they’re perfect for drawing in events and details.

Guys, did you know cutting boards can be fun? As in, not just bright, kindergarten-like-colors, but a variety of pleasant hues in blocky shapes and various sizes? Made from hygienic polyethylene, these boards are extra stable thanks to stay-put dots on their base. Fun!

Add this little guy to your measuring tool options. The Qbit is a modern interpretation of an ancient measuring device, the Cubit. Qbit has CNC machined measurement increments, so you can measure from any side, and it has an adjustable marker to keep a depth or dimension. Choose between metric or standard, stainless steel or brass, and short 3″ (key chain friendly) or long 6″ (desk/shop) versions.

Why aren’t all rulers see-through? They sure make a lot of sense, plus they look quite nice as a paperweight. And, of course, you’ll get very accurate drawings and measurements as well. Choose between Inches or Centimeters, or get both (the metric system is international, after all).

Do you have trouble getting your kids to brush their teeth? Or do you not brush your teeth long enough? The Benjamin Brush might fix that little problem, as it’s the first electric toothbrush with an integrated speaker and music store. Choose a song, and it’ll play for two minutes- the recommended amount of time to get those teeth clean. The Benjamin also features Sonic Vibe Technology and fun silicone bristles that won’t damage your gums or tooth enamel.

How to keep your cheese visually separated from your baguette and/or crackers? By reminding your family/guests that the cheese stays on the marble circle dammit(!). But you’re not obsessive compulsive, so you wouldn’t say something like that, and you surely wouldn’t mind a few crumbs encroaching upon your beloved cheese… riiight? Especially when the pairing of a solid walnut cutting board looks so nice against a white or dark marble circle. The parts can be separated and used individually (marble=trivet!).

Do you still read paper books? If so, you may enjoy using this Mirror Bookmark to find palindromes, as intended, or, perhaps more likely, to see if you have food stuck in your teeth.

It’s getting colder, so we’re going to prefer our tea and coffee very, very hot, thank you very much. But what about our poor little hands? Well, when you use the Emma Thermal Cup its outer layer will insulate the hand from heat and keep your beverage hot. Of course, when the weather turns warm again, just think how perfect a scoop or two of ice cream would be in one of these.

Plant nerds, check out this planter from Light & Ladder. Do you love it? I sure do (though I don’t like the price). It’s a sculptural take on the planter vessel, suitable for indoors or outside. It’s going to catch the eye from every angle, thanks to its stepped surface, and it’ll make your plant feel like a thousand bucks.

The Buka Candlestick employs two pins to keep a candle suspended above its metal dish. Visually light and effortless, the look is elegant and a little mysterious; it may be just the thing to add some ambience during the winter evenings ahead.

It’s next to impossible for me to pass up a pair of delightfully simple bookends, and, of course, these are by DANIEL/EMMA, so I really have no choice but to show them to you. Machined from a single block of granite, each bookend set will support the heaviest books in your collection, no doubt about it.

Yuh is for ‘you,’ at least, phonetically speaking. You may like its personal size and its built-in LED technology, but take note of the slim opening in the top that gives off a soft, upward illumination. There’s a dimmer switch, and if you’re the type to doze off with the lights on, you’ll like the fact that it has a timer function too.
