Faux Fur Throw
Restoration Hardware • $389
Don’t let the names of the patterns (“African Lion”; “Timber Wolf”) fool you: these plush, enveloping and exceptionally stylish throw blankets are 100% synthetic, though no less comfy than the real thing. Great for long winter naps, costume parties and scaring the dog alike.
Marijuana Humidor

These excuisite alderwood cases will keep your buds tidy, fresh and discreetly stowed away thanks to a Boveda humidity system uniquely designed for storing cannabis, airtight glass jars and — because they’re not for everyone — a lock. Beats a shoebox, that’s for sure.
