It will not arrive in time for
Easter, but
Horchow's egg-shaped
Swing on a Stand is a very
comfortable piece to add to your yard this summer if you like spending time outdoors, enjoying the weather and
relaxing. The chair is made of elegant, scrolling wrought iron and heavily cushioned with
red, weather-resistant cushions from Sunbrella. It is perfect for curling up in with a good book, but a
coordinating ottoman (
$330) is
available if you would rather stretch out. The fact that it's suspended means that you will be able to drift slightly
in the breeze - without the risk of getting tangled in strings as you might in a hammock. Of course, also unlike a
hammock, with the heavy-duty stand supporting the chair, you don't need a pair of trees the appropriate
distance apart to enjoy it.
Chair with cushions: $824.
How much are pressed trousers worth to you? The T-press is a new machine that promises one step pants pressing. Put your trousers in the press holder, select the temp and press the start button. The press irons your pants and puts in a sharp clean crease, all in 2 minutes 30 seconds. After it is done the press cools down and retracts to its compact position. Such ease is not inexpensive, the machine costs $599 and it weighs 30 pounds. These would be a great amenity in hotel rooms for business travelers.
