Lisa Sitko's Ceramic Apple Pipes by Karen Day
An apple a day might keep the doctor away, but Lisa Sitko's ceramic apple pipe will likely do more for relieving built-up stress—as much for the way it riffs off the adolescent stand-in as for its actual purpose.
The L.A.-based artist sculpts and glazes the one-offs by hand, creating an unusual and charming device for smoking or just a lovely addition to any bookshelf.
Available in over 20 colors, the pipes can be purchased from the Ooga Booga Store for $80.

William the Brave Bronze Rings
These stylish hoops of bronze have a profound effect on me.

But the nice thing is that despite their virile attributes, you can actually get away with wearing them if you're a...
