Shalgo by Ami Kealoha

Shalgo is the kind of company that not only makes inventive, well-designed and sharp-looking wallets and iPod cases from duct tape, but applies that same winning combo to other projects, like their free downloadable animations for your iPod called Podflips (pictured) and a "Shalgomobile," a 1972 Volkswagen Squareback ($9,240) covered with 5,000 pieces of duct tape saved from the making of Shalgo's iPod cases. The cases themselves are everything you'd expect from such a fun-loving company: bright colors, eye-catching, target-like designs, clear plastic windows to protect screens, the right holes for cords, and a touch wheel that works even through the case. And starting at $16, you can start saving up for the Shalgomobile.

Wolf Designs Watch Winder
Both elegant display case and functional accessory, we're coveting this leather single watch winder by Wolf Designs for its quality and diminutive size. Powered by batteries or electricity (adapter included), a knob selects the rotation direction. The upshot is an always-ready watch awaiting its moment to shine while safely housed in a storage case that won't take up too much real estate on your...
Cassette Tie
What better way to express woe over loss of the mix tape art form that with a 100% silk handmade tie? Playing on prepster versions with whales or turtles, the Cassette Tie from Los Angeles-based label House of Cassette makes for perennial mourning.
