Gorgeous Gresso Flash Drives

Filed under: Gadgets

The African Wood Pandora USB Flash Drive

Don't you wish that using your flash drive could be a classier aesthetic experience? I know the purpose of a flash drive is functionality, but as design experts all over the world know, absolutely anything can be made beautiful and more enjoyable to use.

Enter the Gresso with gorgeous flash drives, such as the above from the new Pandora Flash Drive Collection ($999.00 each). The example you see is made from African Red wood and silver. It's more than just a pretty face, too; the Pandora is the first luxury USB device to be equipped with a fingerprint scanning detector. That's not an LED sparkle you see there, though. That's a ruby.

Click through the gallery to see and read about more good-lookin' flash drive options from Gresso -- with memory capacities of up to 192 Gb!

Kobalt Tool Chest has Mini-Fridge & Stereo Built Right In

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

Gone are the days of the little red toolbox that was barely big enough to hold a hammer. This beastly beauty by Kobalt not only has room enough for every hand tool imaginable (it can support up to 4000 pounds, which might be more than the floor you sit it on) but it also features fun (and necessary!) stuff like LED lights, a built-in power strip, a Pioneer sound system with iPod hookup, and a mini refrigerator.

Sounds like the perfect early Christmas shopping item for the guy (or tool-loving gal) who's got everything. $1600

Ferro & Fuoco Fire Tools

Filed under: Decor

Finally! The weather has cooled down to the point where we can light a fire at night without having to wear tank tops to sit near it. While working with some trusty old fire tools, the thought of getting some new and improved ones is appealing. The Ferro & Fuoco Fire Tools from Ameico are elegant, but are made from iron salvaged from unused railroad tracks. Hand-forged, the shovel, tongs, and poker can be mounted on the wall or kept in a basket, depending on how you prefer to display them. Price: $600.

Little Pink Toolkit

Filed under: Gadgets

Clearly, the way to make a tool kit more appealing to women is to turn it in to a fashion accessory - and if it happens to tie in with Breast Cancer Awareness month, so much the better. The Little Pink Tool Kit certainly is pretty in pink. The 10-piece general purpose set, where all the ergonomic tools come with matching pink handles, is packed up in a pink tote bag that can be carried about while making any small repairs without looking much different from an ordinary handbag. The site notes that a portion of the proceeds from each sale go towards breast cancer research, although it does not say what portion or how much will be donated. Price: $80.

While it's still quite warm to be thinking about the cold days and colder nights of winter, there is no harm in being prepared - especially since you can use the Vision Steel Fireplace Tool Set with your patio fire pit in addition to an indoor fireplace. The black-matte coated steel tools include a poker, a shovel and a brush, all of which have stainless steel handles. The triangular stand is also stainless steel and takes up very little space; the whole unit measures 29.5"x10"x10". Price: $628.

Filed under: Dining

We're down to the wire on our Father's Day gifting, so today's gift idea is something that you might be able to pick up while out shopping. If not, well, be sure to include a nice card and maybe Dad will forgive you for sending his present late. This Teak Grill Tools Set is from Williams-Sonoma. It includes all the basics for grilling, like tongs, a spatula, meat fork and silicone-bristled basting brush, which is heat resistant. Each of the tools is made from a single piece of stainless steel and the extra-long handles are of smooth, shaped teak. The set comes in an attractive tool box. Pair this set ($69) with the matching Teak Barbecue Skewers ($35) and a pair of Teak Salt and Pepper Shakers ($29), and Dad will be grillin' in style all summer long.
