If you’re ready to up your coffee game you’ve found your new grinder. Weber Workshops has earned its accolades among coffee professionals, enthusiasts and nerds, and any new release merits attention. The EG-1 80mm Flat Burr Electric Grinder has been re-engineered to even higher specs. It features an integrated bean feeder, an ion generator that neutralizes static as the grounds exit the burr chamber, intrinsic alignment and concentricity of the burr mechanism without needing to be manually aligned, customizable vibe tone oscillations that clear grounds from the burr teeth after grinding, an easy-off burr chamber cover and two magnetically mounted burr sets—the all around CORE and the ULTRA which is engineered specifically for filter brewing. That it’s also beautiful to behold goes without saying.

The Whitney Museum shop and Gap have created an 18 piece collection of clothing and accessories inspired by Roy Lichtenstein’s art in the museum’s collection. These crew socks are inspired by the artist’s 1962 work, Sock, and come in a see through package with a bright yellow border. A great stocking stuffer.

You are likely aware that liquid laundry detergent is mostly water and comes in large plastic containers—and yet we expend a lot of effort, cost and pollution moving these containers around, just to wind up in a landfill. Then there’s the contents, which are often full of chemical surfactants, phthaletes, preservatives and more. There are several more natural options, like Nellie’s, which packages its small cubes in a square aluminum box. Nothing exotic in their very clean formula, which includes baking soda, citric acid, sodium carbonate, salt, natural enzymes, sodium metasilicate, alcohol ethoxylate as a biodegradable surfactant. One little cube, tossed in the washer drum, is all you need. We prefer the unscented version, but it’s also available in Spa Day, Lavender and Fresh Linen, all naturally scented. They also make dishwasher cubes and other laundry products. There are 64 cubes in a box, get four boxes and save $20.

The third release in its Time:Space collection, The Macallan’s Time:Space Sherry Cask single malt whisky has matured for 20 years. It’s also the first expression aged in The Macallan’s own sherry casks, originating from Spain and purchased as part of the prestige brand’s 200-year anniversary in 2024. The unique circular bottle references both the whisky’s patient role in the continuous cycle of time and the round shape of the Valdespino sherry wine’s palomino grapes. As for the packaging, the design team was inspired by the color of the illuminated grapes in the Andalusian sun to create a custom color—by mixing paints on paper and metal to achieve a hue that hits harder than any Pantone swatch could—that captures the emotion of that exact, magical moment.
