1. Stylish Sound: Amplify the sound of your smartphone without the use of electricity with the Bam Jam speaker ($14.95, The Market). Its modern design with a touch of nature not only creates the perfect sound, but it looks perfect, too. 

 

2. A Peek Inside: Step into the French farmhouse life of Mimi Thorisson with this beautifully photographed and designed cookbook (A Kitchen in France, $40, Brown Derby International Wine Center). The book gives a glimpse into every season with photography that captures not only delicious recipes and produce, but farmhouse life as well.

is cooler. The style is art deco meets conservatory, and it is definitely a
statement piece.
