Shopping Salvation At Last!

Let’s face it. Unless it involves picking out something with an engine, remote control or sesame seed bun, shopping sucks. The geniuses at Trunk Club ($75.00-$225) know that. And they’re here to help. The idea is simply brilliant. Start with an assortment of the best brands men’s fashion has to offer. Next, a stylist personally hand-selects a “trunk” of clothes they think you’ll like based on preferences you’ve volunteered. Then, they pack them up—in entire outfits if you want—successfully taking all the guesswork out of looking good in the morning. Your new wardrobe is shipped to you at home (for free), and anything you don’t like, you just send back. If only assembling a fantasy team were this easy.

Line It Up

Sure, the 250-acre lawn of your new estate has dignified decorations on it, such as pink flamingos, garden gnomes, and the occasional lawn jockey. But if you really want to get classy, how about hooking it up with some fancy stripes? Toro’s Lawn Striping System ($90.00) features a handy-dandy lawn striper attachment that hooks directly onto your walk-behind mower’s handlebars and mows stripes into your lawn just like the pros at ballparks and golf courses. To appreciate the full effect, take a spin on your Hoverbike and check out the view from above. Nice.

If Dreams Could Drive

Ah, the dreams of a young man. You’ve had some yourself—and even seen a few materialize. Swimming with dolphins. Finding your soulmate. Surpassing Ashton Kucher on Twitter. The HB Coupe is the story of a dream as well, dreamt by two siblings from the Netherlands named the Huet Brothers (HB, get it?). These two dreamers, long in love with classic cars, have created this killer cool coupe, a custom, but road-ready ride packed with a full carbon monocoque and 3.0 L inline six with 306 horses. A six-speed manual or seven-speed dual clutch transmission sends power to the rear wheels, lending the HB coupe ($TBA) a top speed of 155 and a 0-62 in just 4.3 seconds. This dream is currently still in the making (i.e. the car isn’t in production quite yet), but if you know anything about dreams (and you think you do), you can expect one in your driveway any day now.

Holmes…Sherlock Holmes

While “on record,” your crime-fighting days are behind you, every so often when Scotland Yard or Her Majesty’s Secret Service are particularly stumped on a case, you’re generous enough to lend a helping hand. Be on time for your next briefing with the 1805 Imperial Phantom Pocket Watch ($1,300). A dashing cross between Sherlock Holmes and 007 himself, this handsome timepiece hangs on a snake coil chain (with two options for your coin clasp), has glass of anti-reflective mineral crystal with a sapphire coating, features an analog alarm and is water resistant to 50 meters—though you’re always smart enough not to get yourself into hot water. Unless it involves a jacuzzi, of course.

Taste The Rainbow

You possess superpowers in many facets of your life (your ability to sense an impending hailstorm, diffuse a hostile female’s temper, and sniff out the cleanest bathroom within a 5 mile radius), yet nothing can compare with the abilities of your tongue…to discern flavors, of course. Treat your tongue to some Taste No. 5 Umami Paste ($8.00), from Laura Sanitini. Umami is known as the fifth basic taste your tongue can detect, along with sweet, sour, bitter and salty. Often referred to as “savory,” the Chinese character for umami simply means delicious. How apropos. Use this 3-pack of delicious-in-a-tube No. 5 as a natural food enhancer, as a spread for meat or poultry before cooking. With its flavors of tomato, olives, vinegar, mushrooms, cheese and spices, Taste No. 5 Umami Paste will be the best thing you put on your tongue all day…potentially.
