Philips Clear LED Light Bulb

Everyone who's been paying attention knows that LED light bulbs are the future — but up until now, they haven't looked like light bulbs. The Philips Clear LED Light Bulb does. Using an innovative, world-first lens, this insanely efficient bulb delivers the warm light of a traditional incandescent bulb in all directions, mimicking the output of a 40 Watt bulb while letting you see the light at work thanks to a clear, familiar body.

Spiegelau Stout Glass

If you assumed that a stout glass made in collaboration with two of the finer breweries around (Left Hand Brewing Company and Rogue Ales) would be nothing short of perfection, then you thought right. The Spiegelau Stout Glass is exactly what you'd look for in a glass made to enjoy the roasted malts, coffee, and chocolate aromas so-often found in a stout. The results of rigorous testing with the best stouts available from both collaborators, the dimensions of this glass have been perfectly honed to enjoy the key characteristics of those beers — from the slender base to its tulip-shaped mouth.

McIntosh MHA100 Headphone Amplifier

Our computers, tablets, and phones are capable of accessing unimaginable libraries of music. Unfortunately, they're not so good at driving serious headphones to let you hear all the nuances of said tunes. But add in the McIntosh MHA100 Headphone Amplifier, and you're ready to rock. It can handle cans from 8-600 ohms, virtually guaranteeing compatibility, and features a Headphone Crossfeed Director that makes those speakers on your head image like studio monitors, plus four digital inputs, two analog inputs, and 50 watt speaker outputs for when you feel like annoying the entire office with the Quad City DJ's "Space Jam".

2015 BMW M4 Convertible

Speed and horsepower are one thing just on their own — but when you add in a drop-top that can fold up in under 20 seconds, then you really have something worthwhile. Retaining the same glorious power plant that its hard-topped predecessor had (a three-liter, 425-horsepower, twin-turbocharged straight six), the 2015 BMW M4 Convertible has the added benefit of letting in some of that sun you've been craving all winter. Available with either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, it pushes all that power through its rear wheels, helped by an active differential, adaptive suspension, and more. And though it's a bit heavier than its non-convertible sibling, we're willing to bet you'll hardly notice with all that wind going through your hair.

Secret

We all have gossip, stories, or just interesting insights that we'd love to share with the world. The problem is, you post stuff like that on Twitter or Facebook and everyone knows where it came from. Enter Secret. This ingenious app uses your contacts list to create a secret underworld of social networking, letting you share your thoughts and feelings anonymously, and letting others share them with their contacts. It's like the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, only with way more intrigue and way less Footloose.

GoPro Blackout Housing

Sometimes you need a little stealth when you're capturing that all-important shot — and it can be advantageous not to draw attention to your camera — in those cases, the GoPro Blackout Housing is your best bet. Made with an all-matte-black non-reflective finish, this housing helps your GoPro just fade into the background, letting you record video without making your camera the center of attention. Included stickers let you cover your LCD screen, further disguising it from your subject, while waterproofing down to 40 meters lets you get shots in nearly any condition. Sub out the skeleton backdoor for when capturing audio clearly is a must, or use the standard backdoor for total coverage.

Tag Heuer Carrera CH 80 Chronograph Watch

Your phone is thin. Your laptop or tablet is thin. So why not your watch? The Tag Heuer Carrera CH 80 Chronograph Watch fits the bill, boasting a high-tech Calibre CH 80 movement that offers an 80-hour power reserve yet measures only 6.5mm thick. On the outside, you'll find a traditional chronograph face with a minutes counter at 3 o'clock, an hours counter at 9, and a small seconds at 6, a polished steel case with faceted lugs, a racing-inspired perforated calfskin strap with red lining, and, of course, a sapphire crystal case back so you can admire the engineering.

Crown Royal XO Whiskey

If you're a bourbon drinker there is a chance you think Canadian Whiskey is a lesser spirit. If that's true, the latest offering from Crown Royal might change your mind. XO is a premium offering from Crown, and is a unique blend of more than 50 of the best from the CR family. It's finished in cognac casks from the French Limousin Forest, adding some complex sweetness. If you normally overlook Canadian whiskey, don't pass up this excellent blend.

Shine Craft Vessels

Sure, you could take beer home from your favorite brewery in one of those standard glass growlers — they get the job done — but there's nothing quite like a purpose-made all-stainless container to keep your beer fresh, carbonated, and tasting great. The Shine Craft Vessels are made from food-grade single-walled stainless steel that has been passivated to prevent any nasty metallic taste. A deep-threaded cap stays on tight, so you never have to worry about coming home with a flat jug of beer. And not only are they built to last, they also look great, available in a range of colored finishes from black and red to green and blue.

Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate

Taking minimalism to a whole new level, the Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate features an all-black blank set of keys that's perfect for gamers and typists alike. It sports mechanical key switches with gold contacts for a tactile feel and acoustic response that will make you want to type longer and faster. Dedicated media controls including a large volume knob let you easily adjust your music without ever touching a mouse, while a two port hub with USB 3.0 connectivity lets you use additional devices at up to ten times the speed of normal USB. Couple that with an anodized aluminum top panel and you get a keyboard that feels amazing to type on, and looks great while you're doing it.

What If?

The mind often wanders — drifting to strange ideas, bizarre notions, and ridiculous questions — most of which you've probably dismissed or never found answers for. But What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions doesn't just let those questions go. Instead, it explores well-researched answers to some of the weirdest quandaries you've ever thought of. Questions like: How fast can you hit a speed bump and survive? How long would humanity survive a robot apocalypse? All of the answers are based on extensive military research, computer simulations, differential equations, and in-depth interviews, making it both thorough, and thoroughly ridiculous.

Fiskars Quantum Pruner

The name sounds so exciting, and then you get to the last word. And while it's true that pruning bushes, stems, and flowers isn't exactly the most exciting way to pass the time, it's also true that the Fiskars Quantum Pruner is among the best ways to do it. Capable of handling growths up to 1 inch in diameter, it also features adjustable tension that adapts to your hand strength and the material, a precision-ground European steel blade with a coating that keeps it from getting covered with sap, and a lightweight aluminum handle with comfortable — and sustainable — cork pads.

Amazon Fire TV

We love our Apple TVs. But we keep wondering why it doesn't play games. Apparently Amazon has been too, because its new Amazon Fire TV is a like a better Apple TV combined with a gaming machine. Powered by a beefy quad-core processor with a dedicated GPU and 2GB of memory, the Fire TV gives you access to your favorite media streaming services — including Netflix, Hulu, Watch ESPN, Pandora, and, of course, Prime Instant Video — as well as the ability to play games with a dedicated gaming controller. Oh, and it also offers voice search that keeps you from dealing with on-screen keyboards and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 surround sound support. Your move, Cupertino.

The Hill-Side Sneakers

The Hill-Side is known for its ties, pocket squares, bandanas, and scarves. But more than that, it's known for quality goods — a tradition that's carried on in the new line of The Hill-Side Sneakers. Inspired by early American military and gym shoes, these low-top vulcanized sneakers offer carefully considered details like matching thread colors, foxing tape, and a molded outsole pattern. They're responsibly made in a 140-year-old factory in Kyushu, Japan, and come in a variety of colors, prints, and fabrics — so you should have no problem finding a pair to match your style.

Aquapod Bottle Launcher

Stop wasting your weekends sitting around on the couch watching the tube — it's getting nice outside, and you need to get out and appreciate it. And there's hardly a better way to do that than with the Aquapod Bottle Launcher. Made to work with any two-liter bottle, a bicycle pump, and water, the Aquapod is capable of launching a plastic pop bottle up to 100 feet into the air. Built to last for plenty of summers to come, it's constructed from high-quality, durable ABS plastic, and features a simple one-piece design. All you need to do is pump it up until the check valve releases pressure, pull the launch cord, and you're ready to go.

The Home Distiller's Workbook

At this point, you've had some success with home brewing — cooking up some beers to share with friends, supply a party, or just enjoy during the game — but now you're ready to try something with a little more bite. With the The Home Distiller's Workbook - Your guide to making Moonshine, Whisky, Vodka, Rum and so much more! you can start making your own hooch from the comfort of your home. The book covers everything from the author's background in distilling moonshine in the Kentucky hills and basic concepts and practices, to building a still and making your first batch. Detailed recipes for a range of liquors and an overview of important ingredients and techniques finish out this comprehensive guide.

Peugeot Onyx Sofa

It might be called a sofa, but we doubt you'll be "plopping down" on the Peugeot Onyx Sofa. For one, it's made out of lacquered black carbon fiber that's been fused to a hand-cut portion of Volvic volcanic lava stone from France's Auvergne region, none of which sounds very springy. It also weighs 800 pounds, most of which is centered on one side of its 10-foot body — so depending on where you've put it, you probably won't want to put any extra stress on your floor. Then again, considering the price, we're sure you've already thought of that.
