Material 6 Wood iPhone Backs

Forget the stickers — if you're looking to add a bit of wooden warmth to the back of your iPhone, these Material 6 Wood iPhone Backs ($90-$100) are the only way to go. Available in a variety of impressive finishes, they come complete with a tiny screwdriver that lets you go from breakable glass to sturdy wood in less than a minute. Oh, and they're just as easy to replace with your original glass back should a Genius Bar appointment be necessary.

BioLite

Is it a portable stove or a gadget charger? How about both. The BioLite ($130) is a compact, portable stove that burns sticks, twigs, pine cones, and other renewable resources instead of petroleum gas, lighting quickly and bringing water to a boil in no time. In addition, it packs a USB port on the front that draws its power from the heat of the fire, letting you charge your phone, GPS, or LED lights miles from the nearest outlet.

Human Republic Slim Money Clip Wallet

We're huge fans of brushed stainless steel. We're also huge fans of front pocket wallets. So it should come as no surprise that we're fans of the Human Republic Slim Money Clip Wallet ($50). Crafted from a single piece of brushed stainless steel, the Slim offers outer clips capable of securing up to two cards a piece, as well as an inner slot to hold whatever cash you might be carrying. A great choice for a night out or for everyday use.

Duff Beer

While we'd rather skip the massive gut, everything else about Homer Simpson's lifestyle — compulsive eating, guzzling beer, and watching TV — seems a-ok. Now you can take one step in that direction by ordering up a case of Duff Beer (£25; roughly $40). Brewed in Germany, this surprisingly smooth 4.7 percent lager is the perfect way to pick up a dull barbecue or tackle a tough Thursday afternoon. Woo-hoo!

Behold the awesome old school goodness of these vintage-printed, buttery-soft Homage T-Shirts. They turn back the clock with shout outs to eclectic moments and personalities in sports, music, politics and popular culture. From Bruce Lee to Larry Bird, the tees tell stories of triumph, individualism and hustle. Pay Homage.

Moto-Mucci Honda CX500 Motorcycle

No, it's not for sale, but this Moto-Mucci Honda CX500 Motorcycle ($TBA) was simply too cool not to share anyway. Based on a 1978 Honda CX500 Standard, this daily urban rider has been completely restored and rebuilt with a new exhaust, a custom seat, new tires, and gobs of new paint, and has survived both the rebuild process and being run over by a Mercedes SUV, which makes us think it'll be able to tackle the streets of Chicago just fine.

Beardski

Get that ZZ Top look while speeding down the slopes with the Beardski ($35). Available in a variety of styles, each of these insulated ski masks features a foot-long synthetic beard attached to the front, as well as neoprene lining and woven thermal fleece to keep warm — in case the beard wasn't doing a good enough job already.

Steel Bottle Opener

Let your fellow drunks know you mean business by popping the top on your next brew with the Steel Bottle Opener ($50). Manually machined from cold formed steel, each opener is hand-stamped with the production number, and then finished in a dark gun blue before receiving a coat of wax to keep rust away. A tanned leather strap provides the finishing touch on this sturdy drinking companion.

1001 Whiskies You Must Taste Before You Die

We don't recommend trying them all at once — or even over the course of a month — but should you make it through all the varied selections in 1001 Whiskies You Must Taste Before You Die ($25), you'll no doubt be a more well-rounded drinker. This nearly 1000-page book contains tasting notes, histories, and temperature recommendations for all of its suggestions, which range from high-quality but mass-produced brands to specialty drinks from micro-distilleries, and a little bit of everything in between.

Gerber Venture Knife

Knives don't need to do a bunch of different things to be useful — they just need to do one thing really well. The Gerber Venture Knife ($75) adheres to this mantra by limiting its design to a polished titanium handle and a three and a half inch serrated blade that's ready when you need it thanks to the Venture's FAST spring-assisted opening mechanism.

Slat Grill

We've seen a lot of portable grills, but perhaps none more simple or versatile than the Slat Grill ($110). Able to fit neatly into an included carrying pouch, the grill is made of hard-anodized aluminum and stainless steel, sets up in just minutes, has no moving parts, and thanks to the open design, lets you use any heat source you'd like. Great for camping, tailgating, or hiding away for post-apocalyptic use.

Deglon Meeting Knife Set

You don't need to appreciate clever design to like the Deglon Meeting Knife Set ($740) — but it helps. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this ingenious set includes a 3-1/4-inch paring knife, 5-1/4-inch utility knife, 8-inch chef knife, and 8-3/4-inch slicer, alternatively made with an internal cavity or shaped to go inside one, such that the entire set fits into the included steel block using roughly the same amount of space as a standard chef's knife — which also makes it perfect for those times when space is at a premium.

Yeti Tarpon Beverage Entry Tool

Tackle any problematic bottle or can with ease using the Yeti Tarpon Beverage Entry Tool ($7). Made from forged stainless steel, this circular tool includes a twist-off wrench, church key, and can tab opener, meaning you should be able to open any drink you need access to — unless, you're drinking wine, in which case you probably have a more civilized tool available anyway.
