$2,445

Keezel Online Freedom Device

The drawback of using free Wi-Fi is any wannabe hacker can view your private data through the public network. But the Keezel’s got your back: it lets you connect to your own VPN, bypassing the black hats and opening up the world of US Netflix.

808 Thonet Lounge Chair

At first glance, it looks like something a Bond villain might use to dramatically reveal himself to his nemesis. But, even if that’s true, it’s not like Bond villains could ever be accused of lacking style Which should be said of you too. The fact that it’s insanely comfortable is almost beside the point. Almost.

$4,395

This 80-watt speaking will broaden your aural arsenal, connecting wirelessly to your music via Bluetooth in ways your tinny Beats Pill could only dream of. In his heart, Dr. Dre knows this, too.

Artifox Standing Desk

Most standing desks look like overgrown IKEA rejects — too high, too awkward, too much unfortunate black enamel. This one, in walnut or maple, looks like a piece of furniture you’d want to own. And, according to the experts that say sitting is the new smoking, you should probably own it too.

$2,200

A.P.C. Dizengoff Quilt

While your relationship with quilts mostly involves passing them to your never-not-freezing wife, the fact is that you’d have them around even if she weren’t. Especially these ones. Hand-stitched using surplus fabric from the A.P.C. archive, they will win over any man who respects excellent craftsmanship.

$1,160

Louis Vuitton Cartable Satchel

It’s a new style for Louis Vuitton, and we can’t help but wonder what took them so long to come up with it. The ombrè leather is soft to the touch, with a slightly aged patina that adds depth and character.

$5,600

Hermès Samarcande Puzzle

Maybe this Brazilian rosewood puzzle from Hermès isn’t the most complex brainteaser, but it is likely the most elegant tchotchke a man can own with pride. It straddles the line between knick-knack and art.

$1,070

The Rolling Stones Limited Edition Book

The Rolling Stones have looked damn cool for more than half a century. These glossy images span their entire careers, from houndstooth jacket-clad boys to elegant elder statesmen. For the serious fan only (though, is there any other kind of Rolling Stones fan?).

$5,000

Samsung Serif TV

Problem: you watch a lot of TV, so you need one in your house, but, if we’re being honest, TV’s are ugly. Or, at least unattractive in a utilitarian kind of way. Solution: the Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec-designed Serif, which has a set of nifty stilt legs, can be used as a shelf, and has an elegant piece of felt covering the machinery in the back, making it blend in as a legitimate piece of furniture.

$550

Gisele Bündchen Collector’s Edition Book

Gisele Bündchen is the highest-paid model in the world, and it’s obvious why. These 536 pages of photographs serve as a very welcome reminder. Consider it one more reason to hate Tom Brady.

$1,000

Cocktail Kingdom Barware Roll Up

It’s blasphemy to keep your most beautiful barware with your everyday kitchen utensils. So, instead, keep them handy (and unscathed) in this beautiful cool up. A craftsman needs to take care of his tools, after all.

$110

$45,000

Italian auto designers Zagato have teamed up with German optics gurus Leica for a cutting-edge, aluminum pair of 8×32 binoculars. There are only 1,000 of them — way more exclusive than DJ Euro’s latest mix.
