Shuttr by Muku Labs
$39
Redefine "selfies" with Shuttr, the one-touch shutter release. You can put your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Samsung Galaxy S3 or S4 (most iOS and Android devices) on a stand, up to 30 feet away, and with the click of the Bluetooth remote shutter release, you'll have great photos! No timer, no apps, no clunky arm in the picture! Shuttr is small enough to be concealed in your hand during photos and designed to attach to your keychain. You'll never leave home without it!
Glove.ly
Starting at $19.99
The perfect glove works invisibly with your touchscreen phone. It is warm and soft, but gets out of your way so that you can answer calls, snapchat, take photos, and send a quick message without taking your gloves off.
The Erase Case
$24.99
Wish you could change up your smart phone case again and again? Budding Picassos will love The Erase Case. It's the iPhone/iPad/Samsung Galaxy 3/iPod Touch case that you get to design or color any way you want. The permanent markers stay in place until you use a special Erase Case Cleaning Solution (standard with each kit). The Erase Case can be wiped clean within seconds and then you can re-customize your Erase Case!
For the chef:
Baking Steel
$79.99
Bakers, chefs and pizza-makers won't cook without this: Baking Steel! Better than a brick oven's stone, Baking Steel will cook your rustic bread or pizza faster, more evenly and at a lower temperature, creating the perfect crust! Now you can have one to use with your home oven or grill! Baking Steel is made in the U.S.A. and virtually indestructible. Endorsed by the Modernist Cuisine movement, you can find Baking Steel online or at Sur La Table locations.
