• Business Card File

  

  A card from the dentist, the contractor, the twelve contacts from a networking event, and one from the annoyingly efficient mom who had play-date calling cards printed for her toddler – all of them are smashed in the bottom of mom’s behemoth purse. Who has time to plug that information into an address book? This spare, matte aluminum box lets her organize business cards by simply dropping them in, no further effort required. Now she has time for a cocktail.

• Cocoon Fruit Bowl

  

  I’d probably use this bowl as a vase. If I used it for fruit, I’d be sure to find a furry, breathing apple tucked away in its dark recesses.

• Sushi Trays

  

  Reader Isabel Feliciano writes: “I love these sushi plates, curved trays, and leaf trays featured in bamboocloset.com. They’re all made of capiz shells molded into unique designs that come in vivid colors. Sure came pretty handy for a Japanese-themed party I just threw over the holidays! Very affordable in sets.” If you’re not the sort who throws sushi parties, these would make dramatic snack holders. The green ones would look especially great with a handful of dried apricots and some walnuts. Thanks, Isabel!
