Nordic Seed Crisps

Jöey Nordic Seed Crisps are new on the scene and deliver a tasty crunch in many flavors, including our favorite, Nori + Tamari. These gluten free crackers are great to snack on out of the package, but go well with cheese, dips, anything you’d normally put on one. Watermelon seeds are the one ingredient you may be less familiar with, but they are among the most water-efficient and nutrient rich seeds, packing lots of magnesium, zinc, potassium, protein and iron. Pumpkin, sesame, flax, hemp, chia and sunflower round out the recipe along with brown rice flour. Various three packs and boxes are also available.

Friar Park x Niwaki Meditation Jacket

Niwaki—one of our favorite gardening brands—has launched a collection inspired by the gardens at Friar Park, the long time family estate of George Harrison known for its quirky architecture and extensive gardens. Though George passed in 2001 his wife Olivia still lives there, and their son Dhani grew up there. He has passionately cared for the gardens since his father died, and his appreciation of Niwaki’s gardening clothing and gear turned into a friendship with the founder. Fast forward to the new collaborations, which include this 12 ounce Akamimi Japanese denim meditation jacket and a set of tools. The jacket is long and loose with an oversized hood and large patch pockets; and an embroidered Japanese maple leaf gives it a bit of flair.

Cat Bed Air Purifier

The One Is All combination pet-hair filter and air purifier looks like a slightly cute, squat droid. Though it’s touted for capturing cat hair its floor-height induction quarantines any animal fur. The biggest appeal is that it features nearly inaudible operation. Plus, the hair is contained in a distinct trap to prevent clogging the separate H13 HEPA and activated carbon filtration systems. The latter reduces pet odors and traps dander and dust. Turn it on and forget about it; the One Is All reads air quality and adjusts on the fly without needing input from its human owner.

Tartan Reversible Rain Jacket

We’re not fans of cutesy apparel for dogs unless its functional, and with winter coming so does cooler mornings, rain and snow. For those days we like The Foggy Dog’s reversible tartan jacket, with tartan on one side and a solid color on the other. Available in green or red tartan. There’s an access point for the leash on the back, and the jacket is water resistant and has quilted insulation. A pocket with a snap holds poop bags treats. Available in other styles and colors.

Plastic Free Programmable Coffee Brewer

Simply Good Coffee set out on a mission to create a coffee maker with no plastic components. It’s not that it’s hard, but it does take a lot more time and it costs more to execute—which is why even great coffee brewers have some if not many plastic parts. We advocate for as clean a kitchen as possible, glass storage containers, silicone accessories, non-chemically coated cookware, and natural cleaning products. Simply Good’s brewer looks and functions like most brewers, they’ve just gone through the time and expense to do things the right way. What you get is one less place where hot things you consume interact with plastic, and a little more piece of mind about clean living. You also gets a machine that is more robust and less likely to need replacement parts.

Matic Robot Vacuum + Mop

Matic Robot Vacuum + Mop has been cleaning up CH HQ for a few weeks now, and we’re impressed both by how well it performs and how considered its design is. From the site to unboxing, set up and operation Matic makes it easy. It has a pretty unique form factor with swagger despite its compact size, and small touches like googly-eye stickers give it more personality than most robot cleaning devices. The app is well designed and easy to use. The data it collects stays on device, meaning maps of your home or office aren’t uploaded and shared and stored remotely. Advanced computer vision (it has five cameras) help it view and map your space, allowing it to easily operate in low or no light and avoid obstacles. Vacuumed material (including liquids) goes into a HEPA-12 bag, which has gel-forming salts that solidify the liquid, resulting in a single bag that is easily removed and replaced without needing to empty a dirty liquid chamber. The rotating microfiber mop uses fresh cleaner, and what comes off it when it cleans itself also goes into the bag. Designed and assembled in California, Matic has consistently met and exceeded our tests, easily cleaning crumbs in corners and dog hair everywhere, and its mop takes care of minor spills easily. While we truly have no notes, the office dogs would definitely tell you not to bring one home.

2010 Rosé Champagne Damien Hirst Limited Edition

Dom Pérignon only releases a vintage when it feels it has something to say, and all of its releases are vintages—there is no standard product. Unlike most Champagne maisons who strive for consistency in their expressions and style, Dom Pérignon consistently seeks to create vintages that push and pull at the brand’s hallmark elasticity. The maison has partnered with Damien Hirst, who created a gift box and the bottle’s label, featuring a new take on his 2001 Kaleidoscope works. He took inspiration from the brand’s crest / label and made that the repeating element in the works, a blue and purple one for the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018 and a pink and red one for the Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010. The 2010 Rosé rose from a cooler than usual spring, a hotter than usual summer, and a dryer year—until an August deluge dispensed months of rain in a 48 hour period, impacting some of the grapes with a common fungus. The grapes matured quickly and were harvested quickly thereafter, and the resulting vintage is one of contrasts and tension between “light and darkness.” It’s a great looking addition to a great wine, ready to be enjoyed or gifted. Dom Pérignon x Damien Hirst Vintage 2018 is priced at $305.

Phone Tatami Mat

At a recent sushi dinner in Tokyo we were presented with a rectangular tatami mat. It was both a thoughtful gesture and a moment to put our phones screen-side down and focus on our meal. Founded in 1740,  Kuboki Tatami makes a full range of tatami products and clearly isn’t stuck in its past, continuing to bring tatami to the way people live. The phone mat comes in nearly 40 different colors and patterns and is now part of our everyday carry—with both a physical purpose (keeping your phone germ and dirt free) as well as a note to slow down and enjoy a meal with presence.

Z5IIC Camera

The “C” in the new Nikon Z5IIC stands for “casual” and incorporates scene modes for the first time in any Nikon full-frame camera. Toggle the camera to a scene and the camera does the rest—night, portrait or any of its 15 modes. Unlike a typical point-and-shoot this is a full-frame mirrorless camera with a 24.5 C-MOS sensor and the depth and clarity provided by the EXPEED 7 image processing engine – the same processor used on the brand’s flagship Z9. The biggest bonus is access to Nikon’s massive lens library, from current Z-series to historic F lenses back to 1967. Price is for the body only, multiple options are available with various lenses and accessories.
