Cool Hunting
Mmm Mmm Good Gifts by Karen Day
Food's temporal nature eliminates the burden of gifting an object of questionable desirability. When in doubt, look to consumables. Rather than the usual box of chocolates, we've gathered some items that will express your gift-giving personality and bring joy to tummies worldwide, like milk chocolate-covered bacon, an array of English cheeses or macaroons handmade in New Orleans. Check the Cool Hunting Holiday 2008 Gift Guide for a wider assortment of goodies and some kitchen gadgets for pairing or on their own for the chef in your life.

Chuao Firecracker Chocolates
We love a good high-brow low-brow mash up, and that's exactly what Chuao's new Firecracker chocolates provide—a combination of very tasty chocolate, a little salt, the heat of chipotle and the pop of crackling candy. We were surprised how much we liked it. While they offer a small variety of firecracker chocolate bars, we particularly enjoyed the chocolate truffles, which delivered, as someone said, "a...

When the world's most desirable confection meets some of the finest spirits, it's bound to be a successful combination. Case in point, Les Shooters from Montreal's first chocolate lounge and boutique, Suite 88. The shooters, which appear to be average, conical truffles are actually chocolate containers filled with an assortment of 12 different liquors. To take the shooter, first bite the tip off before...

Catamount Microwave Popcorn Popper
Avoid the oily mess, expense—and extra calories—with Catamount's microwave popcorn popper. Built with a butter-straining lid, the kernels pop at the bottom while the butter melts through, covering the popcorn to movie theater-perfection in just under three minutes. A more fail safe option then DIY microwave versions, the dishwasher and microwave-safe glass container has a glass handle for easy transport. The microwave popcorn popper...

Baked Granola
Normally bakeries aren't run by two guys formerly in the advertising industry, but Baked isn't a normal bake shop either. The Brooklyn dessert destination houses cakes like "Sweet & Salty!" and "Oopsy Daisy," "Monster" cookies and giant marshmallows, leaving us thinking guys should bake more often. While we'd love to bask in the glory of these rich, delicious desserts everyday, it's likely best they're...
