Alex Mill

The Perfect Weekend Tote

$195.00

Alex Mill brazenly calls it The Perfect Tote, but it really is the perfect tote. It comes in several sizes and many colors, but The Perfect Weekend Tote is our favorite, hitting that just-right spot for an overnight. It has both hand and shoulder straps (the latter can hide in the bag when not in use) and the length of the shoulder straps is spot on. We appreciate its snaps, which let you easily adjust the size of the bag. The Perfect Weekend Tote is made from 100% cotton and measures 13″ tall, 17″ wide and 9.5″ deep. The optional monogram is a chic touch, and is a $60 upgrade (it also takes 3-5 weeks).

UNDONE

Non-Alcoholic Spirits, Aperitifs and Sparkling Wine

$25.00

UNDONE started its line of non-alcoholic spirits in 2019, helping to bring a new generation of dealcoholized products to bars and markets. Today their portfolio lacks little, offering spirits, aperitifs, liquers, sparking wine, canned cocktails that taste more similar to their alcoholic counterparts than botanical spirits. They’ve been a prominent feature at CH HQ this summer, where we’ve explored making many different cocktails and tasty sips that keep us on deadlines. They have just about everything you need to easily make the classics—from a Smoky Paloma to a Vesper to a range of sprtizes.  What we appreciate most is the range and depth of flavors providing endless opportunities for your NA enjoyment. Products range from $15-25, with many options for kits, sets and mixers.

Honey Department

Thick Honey

$16.00

At a recent visit to the Fancy Food Show, a trade show for gourmet foods, we met longtime CH reader Noah Phillips. We always love when that happens, even more so when they are up to something interesting. Noah loves honey, but doesn’t love having to manage it in containers where it often solidifies, or is thinned out to dispense more easily which often makes a mess. As any passionate entrepreneur does they solve the problem by making their own, and Honey Department was born (it also helps that his dad is a beekeeper). The single source honey comes from bees that pollinate Mexican wildflower and mesquite blossoms. He calls it “thick honey” and it’s packaged in an aluminum tube. Thick, because it is naturally thickened into a creamy paste, a perfect consistency for putting on your food more precisely, smoothly and without waste. Need more? Just squeeze the tube; when you’ve finished it, recycle it. We’ve tried it on food, in recipes, in beverages, and we’ve even been seen carrying the small tube around to share with people (these are currently an added bonus when you buy a three pack, but will soon be sold separately). Until then, you can buy a single 6 oz tube for $16, or buy in larger packs at a lower price.

NEVO 11000c Electric Shaver

$550.00

Braun’s new NEVO 11000c electric shaver debuts a new top of the line option, leapfrogging their existing (already quite good) options. We’ve been testing it for a week and are impressed with how well it performs. A water-formed stainless steel unibody elevates the look and feel of the waterproof shaver, and its a first in the category. A smart processor ensures optimal performance and monitoring for the best shave possible. It comes with a stand that both cleans and charges the shaver, and also includes a travel case that serves as a charger (though doesn’t clean it). It debuts the brand’s new AeroTouch tech, designed to offer the most precise shave possible. The shave head (which needs to replaced approximately once a year, features Diamond Sharp Blades and two Ultra Gliding Foil sections—everything you need to cut longer hairs first, raise flat hairs, and get the closest shave possible; its pop up trimmer tackles sideburns and other touch ups.  The 7-in-1 NEVO Care System cleans, dries and lubricates the shaver. It’s a premium option for those who demand the best and the most from their shaver.

Symbolorum: The Secret Wisdom of Emblems

$20.00

Before there were tarot decks there were Baroque emblem books, popular in the 16th and 17th centuries and featuring allegorical images accompanied by Latin phrases. The books offered an enchanted connection between mystical images and mottos showing human lives alongside celestial, bestial and plant life. Discovered during her research into fragrances from that time, natural perfumer Mandy Aftel’s Symbolorum: The Secret Wisdom of Emblems brings us back to that era, with Camerarius’s images reborn in watercolor and modern commentary. A great addition to any cabinet of curiosities or the library of anyone inspired by the subject.
