Magnetic Timer
I just received one of these as a gift, and I adore it. I use mine to time exercise, chores, and the time I have before I need to get out the door. Also, you could use it for holiday cookies.

Diana Starter Kit
Vintage plastic Diana cameras date back to the early ’60s, and are coveted by photographers for their dreamy, lo-fi effect. Originals go for $100 and up on eBay and are becoming increasingly scarce. Fortunately, the camera has been reissued (with a few upgrades) as the Diana+. If you know nothing about cameras, but need a gift for someone who’s into photography, this is a pretty good bet.

Francis Francis! X3 Espresso Machine
Soooo. One $3 latte a day for a year is $1,095. This machine pays for itself in six months.
One of the best compact home espresso machines in the under-$1,000 price range. Excellent foam, small footprint, happy colors. Best of all, you can actually replace the parts when it breaks instead of throwing the whole thing away and starting over.

Bra Baby
I never thought I’d be listing a Sky Mall product, but I got an email from Marielle Vena who says:
“I wore a 36C in the eighth grade and know a little something about bras – mostly that I hate ‘delicates day.’ I have been a slave to hand-washing my unmentionables ever since I discovered that those care tags mean business and ignoring their warnings was going to leave me destitute. I still have to hand wash a few things, but as far as most underwire bras are concerned, this product has been the biggest time-saver in my life. I love it! Try the two-pack and I swear you will have six or eight in no time.”
