Wobble Chess Set

Generally chess is a serious, quiet pursuit, but this Wobble Chess Set from Arango brings a sort of silent whimsy to an otherwise very serious game atmosphere. The board rises and falls, looking much like restless waves, and each chess piece is rounded and weighted to fit the concave center of each wooden space. Originally designed by Adin Mümma in 2006, the set is made of maple and walnut hardwood with chrome-plated zinc accents. A unique and perfect gift as a first chess set or for a long time chess collector. $289

Wobble Cognac Glasses

Say the word "whimsy" and you've got my attention -- I love anything fun and slightly wacky, but not necessarily ridiculously over the top. These Wobble Cognac Glasses are great, I think, because they look interesting without sacrificing any class. They were designed with bouquet, temperature, and volume in mind, and the delicate shape is said to enhance the pleasure, deep color, and movement of the drink (and also the glass to some extent, obviously). Made of hand-blown glass and available in sets of two for $50.
