Plant the stick from any of these organic lollipops and an herb or flower will grow. Each package of eight pops produces eight different plants and offers eight different flavor combinations, including lemon and thyme; strawberry and basil; peach and marigold; and lavender and lemongrass. Buy it at Uncommon Goods.
3. Rider-Waite Tarot Deck ($16)
"Tarot — so hot right now," writes Sara David at Vice. Anyone interested in astrology, divination, or other once esoteric hobbies should get to know this classic, beautifully illustrated 78-card deck, which revived the centuries-old practice of tarot reading when it was first printed in 1910. Buy it at Amazon.

"What's an interior jacket pocket without a cheeky flask inside?" writes Lauren Adhav at Cosmopolitan. Keep a loved one warm this winter with a little help from Stanley's stainless-steel spirit holder, which also comes in navy, green, black, and, where you can still find it, crimson. Buy it at Amazon.
5. Eleonor Boström Chopstick Rest ($30)
Any precious miniature has the power to charm. Swedish ceramic artist Eleonor Boström specializes in tiny dogs and cats with odd jobs to do, including carrying matchsticks, storing rings, or, yes, holding chopsticks. Buy it at Eleonor Bostrom.
