1. Whiskey stones with a twist
I have my father to thank for turning me into a scotch snob, but unlike the Elder Eberspacher, I prefer my single malts light on the rocks. For the nights when even one cube feels like overkill, these granite chillers are clutch. With traditional whiskey stones, you need to toss in three or four to get the cooling effect. Not only are these granite versions far prettier, it just takes one and you're ready to sit back and sip. ($34; Amazon) — Sarah Eberspacher

3. Instagram marshmallows
This company in England will put your Instagram photos on marshmallows. You choose nine, and if you're lucky enough to live in Europe or North America, they send you a box of 'em. It's a good gift to receive...then make disappear. ($20; boomf.com) — Nikkitha Bakshani
4. Raspberry Pi
People are using the Pi to control all kinds of things — media centers, musical instruments, robotics, weather balloons, prosthetics. Yes, I want a computer. And I can get a tiny one for under $30. ($29; adafruit.com) — John Aziz
