REVIEW – You gotta hand it to Shinola. This hometown Detroit company has shaken up the watch industry with their genuine American-made timepieces. They’ve also developed a slew of other products, from bicycles to leather goods. But it’s Shinola’s new Bookshelf Speakers that have attracted attention since their entrance into the extremely competitive audio arena.

REVIEW – Last year, one of the Christmas gifts we gave our daughter was a 3D-printed moon lamp. It was supposed to show the Moon’s surface features so that you could feel the textures of the mountains and the craters, but that lamp was disappointingly smooth.

REVIEW – I’m a firm believer of the old adage “a place for everything and everything in its place.” I have a spot for my keys, wallet, and pocketknife, but when it came to my Apple Watch, it’s always been haphazardly placed on its charger next to my nightstand. Now, Studio Proper’s Apple Watch Stand

NEWS – We’ve seen some stainless straws you can carry with you to replace using plastic straws, but these metal straws from Tiffany & Co. take the cake. Instead of stainless, Tiffany makes their straws from sterling silver. Yep, sterling, and they certainly are priced like jewelry. Up first is Tiffany’s version of a bendy

REVIEW – As a photographer/videographer, I love capturing many types of footage including seaside videos of the waves crashing against the shore and even some underwater footage when I get the right opportunity.

NEWS – I love my Apple Watch, and I love it even more after I replaced the Sport band with the Milanese band. I got the Milanese when I got the Series 1 Watch. Although I had the aluminum Watch, I thought the stainless Milanese worked well with it. When I upgraded to the Series
