If you have every searched for a flatware pattern with your partner, you know how difficult it is to choose the perfect set. Fortunately, Malmaison Classique Flatware made by Christofle is as close to dining perfection as you can get without carving eating implements directly from precious gems. The collection includes knives, forks and spoons made of sterling silver (knife blades are stainless steel) and trimmed in diamonds of exceptional quality. Each one of the diamonds is hand set in France, so it takes several months to complete each flatware set. Price: $18,600, which includes one of each: dinner fork, dinner knife, soup spoon, salad fork, and teaspoon.

Okay
like me, you probably have more than one bottle of wine in your
cellar or wine rack, but the Angelshare Single Bottle Cellar
is for "the bottle." You know the one, that special
bottle you have no intention of drinking anytime soon, but you
might still be itching to let people know you have. The Angelshare
Single Bottle Cellar controls the temperature and humidity for
aging wine and has a super silent heat exhaust fan for low noise
and vibration. It has three temperature settings and you can
look at your bottle through a double-paneled half-smoke glass
window which prevents ultraviolet rays from getting in but still
lets you showcase your prized vintage. It sells for $374.14.
From
white and green teas to black tea, consumers are finally switching
to loose-leaf teas, which deliver more flavor per cup. Described
as one of the ideal tea infusers, the TeaStick is a great little
gadget to complement your favorite loose-leaf tea. It is made
of a solid piece of stainless steel with tiny holes that allow
water into its main chamber to soak the tea leaves. The holes
are small enough to keep even the finest teas out of the cup,
while still brewing it to your exact specifications. The TeaStick
has a small hook on top to prevent it from sliding into mugs
and cups and can also be used as a stirrer. Price: $18.
