Sweet & Savory

Although it would probably not be recommended, I could live off of a diet of cheese & chocolate.  Saxelby Cheesemonger’s Sweet-and-Savory Heart Selection pairs three of their favorite domestic cheeses with Roni-Sue’s inventive chocolate truffles. Perfect-o for Valentine’s Day. Yes, please.

The lust for travel is a universal yearning – but I think it’s particularly magnified for the New Yorker, stuck right in the middle of the most traveled-to city, but hardly able to break away from the grind that is New York living. The smart people over at wejetset feel the same way – but [...]

Mimobot

There’s always an excuse to accessorize, and why should transporting your media be any different? Found Mimobot while surfing for holiday gifts, and as far as USBs go, they’re the cutest I’ve seen. So cute in fact, that you can even buy yours a sweatshirt. Good stocking stuffer for that millennial on your list.
