You probably know the exact region or even vineyard your wine comes from. But what about that cork in the bottle? Although they seem menial, that plug is just as vital to your glass of Cab as the grapes inside and the method used to harvest the cork to make them is equally as strenuous. The delicate process begins in Portugal with a group of harvesters that have been keeping the tradition alive for generations.

It's hard to beat the convenience of K-Cup coffee packs, and the Oxx Coffeeboxx lets you enjoy them wherever you might be. The brewer itself is housed in a dust-proof, water- and impact-resistant shell that can withstand loads of up to 1500 lbs. yet weighs just 12. It can fit mugs up to 8" tall, and has options for 8, 10, and 12 oz cups, with a 30 second pre-heat and 75 second brew time. A 3-foot retractable cord and built-in handle make it easy to tote around, a 2.5L water reservoir lasts all day, and the separate hot water dispenser makes it good for making tea, oatmeal, noodles, and other things, too.
Based in Brooklyn, New York, graphic designer Scott Reinhard combines vintage maps with elevation data to create stunning pieces of art. Reinhard uses a chromogenic process to create each print, which takes traditional color photography development and integrates 3-dimensional data with paper maps for a result that is so visually appealing, you'll be tempted to reach out and feel what looks like 3D texture. The process brings the maps to life, creating a 2D print that is vibrant and detailed giving you a unique work of art that blends history and modern technology. In addition to the topographic maps, Reinhard creates compelling digitally rendered maps and has even adopted his technique to the surface of the moon.
Choose from map prints of Death Valley, Rocky Mountain National Park, Glacier National Park, Joshua Tree, Marfa, Texas, Hudson, New York, or a digital rendering of all the buildings in New York City.
