I think if I ever (am allowed to) get married I’ll want a wedding ring like this. This particular one is titanium inlayed with Jarrah, a tree from Australia. I’ve seen these in all varieties of wood, and I imagine if you have a particular type of tree with special meaning to you, you can find a ring with it.

It’s snow time again. The mountains out west are already open, and the east is soon to follow. I don’t know how many people wear belts while boarding, but if you do, this is the belt to buy. It’s got 2 screwdrivers and 3 wrenches built in for your tool pleasure.

This tie, inspired by an antique key collection, is a one of a kind. Insert a cheesy pickup line about the key to your heart, and you’re set for a good night out.
