Stanley Wristwatch Tools
by Evan Orensten
Stanley has launched a line of wristwatches with built-in tools in Japan. While we think these are an interesting advancement in portable tools, it seems likely that if you have a need for any of these, you probably have a need for all of them. If so, do you buy all of them? And if you have all of them, how do you know which one to wear on any given day? We'd love to see more of a Swiss Army knife concept, where all of the tools can be housed in a single watch.

Lost at E Minor
by Ami Kealoha
Yet another landmark putting Australia on the creative map, Lost at E Minor is the almost one year-old weekly e-newsletter covering design, music, art, and more in Australia and beyond. Founded by Zolton Zavos, editor of the recently-launched Riot magazine, each edition brims with images and words spanning openings, magazines, designers, websites, and the like.
Look out for a forthcoming Lost At E Minor book that will feature works from Deanne Cheuk, Lulu Plastic Pirate, Autumn Whitehurst and, as they're still accepting submissions, possibly you.
Camonano, Afroken and AllOdds
by Josh Rubin
One of the Cool Hunting Camonano winners, Sensitivetype, posted these photos to Flickr showing that the Camonano blends well with Afroken and Adidas AllOds.
If you didn't win a Camonano, but want one real bad, stay tuned for our Holiday Gift Guide which will be launching later this week. Among the Cool Hunting exclusives for sale will be a few more Camonanos.
Four Way Rubber Bands
by Josh Rubin
Scottsdale, AZ based Flying Buffalo makes these 4-way rubber bands, called Box Bands, specifically to hold board game boxes together. Clearly they'd be great for stacks of paper, books or anything else you'd otherwise wrap with twine or multiple rubber bands. They're available in 4, 8 or 10 inch sizes for $5 per pack. You can buy them directly from Flying Buffalo.
Schwartz's Crunchmallows
by Evan Orensten
Decadence takes many forms (and for some reason we seem to be fairly expert at several of them). Schwartz Crunchmallows are our latest obsession. Made in New York by the Schwartz family since 1939, these insanely delectable marshmallows sit atop a thin toffee wafer and are coated in semisweet chocolate. Other varieties include marshmallows with a caramel bottom, and plain marshmallows in eight flavors. They make traditional chocolates too. A box of ten Crunchmallows is $25.25, plus shipping, and is available from Schwartz Candies.
