Man Ray Chess Set

Man Ray’s iconic chess set was designed in 1920 and looks as good today as it did more than 100 years ago. The clear lacquered veneered wood board has painted black squares and a wool felt bottom. The pieces are solid beech wood with the same clear lacquered veneer and painted black finish, and each piece has a wool felt pad.

At Your Service

Converse has rebuilt the Chuck Taylor All Star for restaurant floors. At Your Service pairs a diamond-pattern tread reworked for grip with CX foam cushioning. Every style—high-top, low-top and slip-on—is certified to meet or exceed the rigorous international benchmarks that govern slip resistance in occupational footwear. Only available in all-black, the canvas versions repel water and oil, and leather styles wipe clean after a splash of fryer grease. The silhouette remains unmistakably Chuck, and these pairs feel far more comfortable than the flat-soled originals, so they’re a smart choice for anyone who spends long days on their feet, whether or not they’ve ever worked a shift in a kitchen. Prices range from $75 to $95.

Bombay Spice Potato Chips (2 pack)

We met chef Keya Wingfield at the Fancy Food Show and sampled her flavor-packed snacks. Her Bombay Spice Potato Chips left an addictive impression and the CH pantry has a new favorite. Keya says “(I’m) originally from Bombay but I’ve lived in the US long enough to know that the chip aisle needs to be as diverse as America. So I made these chips. They are the very first of their kind in their flavor category”—and she’s spot on. The chips feature her masala blend (turmeric, coriander, garlic, ginger, dried onion, fenugreek, garam masala, cardamom, bay leaves, fennel, clove, black pepper, star anise, nutmeg, tomato and pomegranate powders) pack an umami punch that will leave you wanting more. Two 6 oz bags are $10, and six 1.5 oz bags are $15.

Laundry Detergent Cubes

You are likely aware that liquid laundry detergent is mostly water and comes in large plastic containers—and yet we expend a lot of effort, cost and pollution moving these containers around, just to wind up in a landfill. Then there’s the contents, which are often full of chemical surfactants, phthaletes, preservatives and more. There are several more natural options, like Nellie’s, which packages its small cubes in a square aluminum box. Nothing exotic in their very clean formula, which includes baking soda, citric acid, sodium carbonate, salt, natural enzymes, sodium metasilicate, alcohol ethoxylate as a biodegradable surfactant. One little cube, tossed in the washer drum, is all you need. We prefer the unscented version, but it’s also available in Spa Day, Lavender and Fresh Linen, all naturally scented. They also make dishwasher cubes and other laundry products. There are 64 cubes in a box, get four boxes and save $20.

Time:Space Sherry Cask

The third release in its Time:Space collection, The Macallan’s Time:Space Sherry Cask single malt whisky has matured for 20 years. It’s also the first expression aged in The Macallan’s own sherry casks, originating from Spain and purchased as part of the prestige brand’s 200-year anniversary in 2024. The unique circular bottle references both the whisky’s patient role in the continuous cycle of time and the round shape of the Valdespino sherry wine’s palomino grapes. As for the packaging, the design team was inspired by the color of the illuminated grapes in the Andalusian sun to create a custom color—by mixing paints on paper and metal to achieve a hue that hits harder than any Pantone swatch could—that captures the emotion of that exact, magical moment.

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.
