The Town & Country


Picking up a few things for dinner is easy and eco with the Town & Country by Detours. It's part handlebar bag and part shopping basket. Pop it off your bike and it goes down the aisles and straight through the check out. Smart design features abound – ballistic cloth, strong basket handles, open main compartment that holds eight pounds, a drawstring storm collar and a bright yellow removable rain cap. The basket holds it shape due to a rigid bottom and removable seam supports. Take out the supports and the basket can fold flat for storage. Pictured in sky blue, the Town and Country is also available in black, red, green and pink. Available direct from Detours, eBags and many local bike shops.

Alessi Pasta Pot


A perfect group gift for the small kitchen cook on your list. The sleek looks are only part of the story. The design relies on a old-time cooking method used by olive pickers in the field. The dry pasta is mixed with the sauce and a small amount of water is added. The water is absorbed similarly to risotto making. This is modern one pot cooking.

Chantal Kettles


Heat water for tea or French press coffee in a two-note, harmonic kettle. To appease a kitchen full of tea & coffee drinkers try the Eva Kettle, a reissue of an Eva Zeisel design that holds 1.8 quarts. For smaller needs the Chantal 3-c. Personal Teakettle should suffice.

Mapuche Tradition


Merken is native to Chile and while families have their own recipes, it is typically the Cacho de Cabra chile, coriander, cumin and salt, The Mapuche cuisine is heavy on quinoa, vegetables and potatoes, so veggie dishes are a good place to start with this spice blend. For a fast Tilapia dish generously sprinkle the fish with Merken Spice and pan saute in olive oil along with lemon slices.

Hi-Tone Satchel


Not everyone is ready to trade multiple c-notes for a bag. Oh, but it’s not a bag, it's 3 very clever blankets. What carried your bread, cheese and wine unsnaps & unzips into a thick felt and very posh mat for your snacks.

When Artist Michael Ruh created this hand-blown wine carafe design he imagined the inner vessel floating backlit in watered ice. Hence the name, buoy.

Unfold the Bowl 


This oddly wonderful rubber bowl is probably not what typically comes to mind when you think about a chip bowl. The Wizard bowl by Ego Designs comes in black or white and is definitely snack-friendly.
