D&G Designer Baby Bottles

I don't have babies of my own yet but I don't let that hamper my love of shopping for cute little outfits, miniature shoes, and everything else they sell in the infants department. I love going to baby showers and the next time I get an invite I think I already know what I want to shop for: one of these useful and stylish designer feeding bottles with matching cases by Dolce & Gabbana. They're not the usual cutesy colors and patterns, which is a breath of fresh air, and instead feature animal prints and simple logo-based patterns. Definitely a nice way to treat both mom and baby to some designer luxury. $70-$80

'Bottle Keep' Means No More Wine by the Glass


How many times have you passed on a glass of wine because the kind you wanted was only sold by the bottle? The Japanese have a good thing going called "bottle keep" that takes care of that problem by allowing customers to drink what they want out of a bottle of wine and save the rest for later. The restaurant puts the customers name on the bottle and keeps it in the back until their next visit.

What an awesome way to make the most of a bottle of wine (not to mention impressing friends and family with the VIP treatment!). Obviously this idea isn't reserved only for the Japanese so now I'm be on the hunt for a restaurant that offers this service (or something like it) in my area.

Devi Kroell Bottle Bag, Handbag of the Day

Bright, cheerful, simple, but unique. I love the design of this Bottle Bag by Devi Kroell, but the name isn't particularly endearing (makes me think of a baby's bottle). Each Bottle Bag has a flat bottom (I always prefer bags that will sit up on their own) and gathering at the top with gold or silver metal hardware and a cute little chain. Available in several colors of satin (this yellow is my favorite), gold or silver mesh is also available for an even more formal look. 3 1/4" x 6 3/4", $1290 (satin)/$2790 (mesh).

Crystal Bottle Stoppers from Williams Sonoma


I love elegance with a more casual tone, so to me crystal always looks its best when it's kept extremely simple. With only a few decorative marks, these Crystal Bottle Stoppers from Williams Sonoma will top your liquor and wine bottles in glistening but basic style. The geometric shapes and sharp lines give them a slightly masculine air, although depending on the environment that could change (and it could just be me!).

Cut and shaped by hand from solid crystal, they're polished to a high shine and available in sets of 3 for $98. Just be aware that if you're planning to use them frequently absolutely every fingerprint will be obvious on the ultra-clear surfaces.

Limited Edition Swarovski Alizé

The story of Alizé says that the drink was created when a brandy maker fell in love with a jam maker and the two came together into a drink. More likely, this combination would have produced some boozy dessert a la Nigella Lawson, but that is neither here nor there. The drink claims to be the " original drink of love" and in honor of Valentine's Day, Alizé has commissioned a limited run of bottles that are completely covered in sparkling Swarovski crystals. Each bottle is £1000 (almost $2,000) and is filled with Rose Alizé, which is a blend of French Vodka, Cognac, passion fruit, strawberry, lychee and rose.

Sei Water

Sei Water is another luxury water brand with unusual packaging. The bottles resemble flasks and are designed to easily fit into pockets and bags, unlike more traditionally shaped bottles, which are best held in-hand or set in a cupholder. They are available in sizes ranging from 275mL to 1L Once you have finished the natural spring water, the bottle can easily be reused. Price: $34/ case of 12 1L bottles.

SIGG Skull Bottle

With Halloween coming up, not to mention all the other skull stuff that we've seen lately, it seemed worthwhile to mention this SIGG Skull Bottle. The Swiss-made aluminum bottle is unbreakable, very lightweight and 100% recyclable. The 24-oz. bottles are taste-neutral, so you can store any type of beverage in them. One final feature is that the skull glows in the dark, which might not be a selling point for a lot of adults, but would definitely make it a more appealing Halloween "treat" if you wanted to give the kids something other than candy. Price: $20.

Bling H2O

Ordinary bottled water is for ordinary people, but for those who really have a taste for the finer things, Bling H2O could be the perfect thirst-quencher. The water comes corked in a 750mL, frosted glass bottle that is studded generously with Swarovski crystals and is far more impressive than anything you'd find in the regular supermarket. It is designed to be a fashion statement and, although the bottle is fairly large, you can tell more about someone carrying one of these around than about someone with a bottle of Arrowhead water - at least, you can according to creator Kevin G. Boyd. More than just an accessory, the water tastes good, too. It won the Gold Medal for taste at the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Festival. Bling H2O is priced at $35 per bottle.

Revolutionary Cognac and the Lanesborough

The Lanesborough Hotel in London recently began serving a revolutionary drink. Actually, the cognac it is offering is from the time of the French revolution, bottled in 1790. It is being served in small one and one-half ounce servings that cost £1,700 each. Unlike the $3,000 Bombay Sapphire martini, the drink doesn’t need to come with a pair of custom-made diamond and sapphire earrings to justify its price tag.
