Bluetooth Vibrating Bracelet + Watch
• $50.00
• Brando

If I had my way, I'd prefer we'd all keep phone ringers either on low or off with just vibration notification while out in public. But then again, in doing so, there's always the risk of missing an important call when the phone is stowed away in a pocket, bag, or purse. These mod style bracelets solve the conundrum of staying notified without interrupting by offering caller notification via vibration. The bracelet also displays caller ID when someone rings in and notifies you if your phone has left your perimeter by more than 2 meters, helpful for those chronically misplacing their device or while traveling.

I've got a couple of friends here in LA who've ditched the grind of sitting in traffic and now commute to work by bike. But hauling a laptop and other tech accessories while pedaling can prove to be challenging on the streets of any city, requiring secure and weather-proof carrying gear. The Chrome Welded Rucksack seems up to the task: waterproof, accommodates up to a 15" laptop, U-lock pocket, and includes a removable laptop sleeve.

Pax Ploom 
• $249.99
• Ploom 

My dad was a lifelong smoker who was never able to kick the nicotine habit, and I remember many arguments between my parents revolved around the topics of smoke and the smell it would bring into the home. If only dear old dad was alive now, I would likely gift him one of these smokeless vaporizers, a pocket-sized device designed to heat up any leaves just hot enough to extract the kick, but without producing offensive smoke. Ploom's design is a 21st century pipe, complete with LED temperature indicator, motion-based temperature control, and keen pop-out mouthpiece design. I would have rather my father stopped smoked completely, but if one has the habit, this beats the old box of Marlboros any day.
