Run by mother-daughter duo Molly and Mary Ann Mathias, Magic Hour offers an assortment of sweet, handmade ceramic tripods. When ordering, you can view the suite of selections on the product page but the one you’ll get remains a surprise unless specifically requested otherwise. The two-by-two-inch pieces range in color, pattern and texture, but all perform the same function: storage for something like salt in the kitchen or delicate jewelry in the bedroom.

NYC-based fitness studio The Brrrn focuses on slide board workouts in colder settings. Their in-person slide classes, for example, happen in 50-degree gym spaces. For those who want to do the same workout at home, classes and accessories are available through The Brrrn’s At-Home Subscription, a monthly plan that provides members with access to classes whenever they’d like. All of the classes use the studio’s eponymous Brrrn Board, a five-foot-long surface flanked by two wooden bumpers. From skating-type stance, you slide back and forth, following the instructor’s guidance for knee bend, hand placement and pace. Seasoned sliders can opt for fast-paced classes, longer sessions or workouts that reinvent the way you use the board. Each board weighs 28 pounds and comes with booties and wipes.

A striking object and guaranteed conversation piece, the Stündenglass Gravity Hookah is a pure and hearty tool for consuming cannabis and can be used for so much more. One side of the device is filled with water; when rotated, that liquid’s movement to the other side creates a vacuum that pulls in smoke or vapor from whatever is in the bowl. A second turn then pushes that smoke out the hose for touch-less consumption. Beyond cannabis, this hourglass can be used to extract smoke from many things and is particularly intriguing for adding new flavors to cocktails or food.

Cann’s cannabis-infused “social” tonics offer a gentle buzz from a 2:1 CBD to THC ratio. Even if one were to drink the entire six-pack, just 12 milligrams would be consumed—a relatively standard dose for edibles. Our favorite iteration, the smooth and citrusy Grapefruit Rosemary flavor, goes down with a slight viscosity and pleasant carbonation. Of course, that’s all without the residual impact of alcoholic drinks.

While David Byrne may be a better-known name, it was drummer Chris Frantz who convinced fellow RISD classmates Byrne and Tina Weymouth to move to NYC and start Talking Heads. In Frantz’s Remain in Love: Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Tina, he tells his version of Talking Heads tales—including the epic 1977 tour with the Ramones and how Byrne “sneaked out of Talking Heads” in the early ’90s—as well as stories surrounding Tom Tom Club, the spin-off band he founded with Weymouth. While never diving too deep into nuance, the book paints an intriguing picture filled with unheard anecdotes and plenty of art-school charm.

Music streaming platform SoundCloud partnered with clothing brand and design team GRVTY (aka Orlando Urbina and Marshall Tan) for a collaborative apparel collection called Pure & Wondrous Sounds. With nods to SoundCloud’s color scheme and a handful of GRVTY’s musical and visual influences, the collection drops today. The “SC-X700” long-sleeve shirt salutes Tom Wong and Coxsone Dodd, two influential figures in the Jamaican sound system circuit and the development of ska and reggae throughout the ’50s and ’60s. Specifically, Urbina and Tan call out Wong’s history as a hardware store-owner, which led him to build out his own systems with equipment from his shop. They say their shirt is an homage to “all those who built physical structures that brought sound to the streets and to the people.”

Fit for commuting or cruising, Levy’s baseline Electric Scooter features a first-ever for the consumer e-scooter market: within the stem (the pole that attaches the handlebars to the frame) there is a swappable battery system. This allows riders to change the internal battery (which should last 10 miles on a single charge) when it dies, lengthening rides and saving owners from the hassle of lugging the scooter home. (The scooter isn’t terribly heavy, though—just 27 pounds.) Further, the scooter is available with either 8.5-inch tubeless or solid tires—the latter eliminates the possibility of a flat while out on a ride.
