Woven using 25,000 flexible stainless-steel threads that are three times thinner than a piece of paper--.001--this is the only wallet with a hand as smooth as silk and the strength that surpasses leather. Impervious to stretching or staining, and without sharp corners or the inherent bulk of other wallets, the stainless steel is the same metal fabric found in the architecture, aerospace, and automotive industries, resulting in a thin profile that allows it to fit into a front pocket. Resistant to corrosive materials such as salts, acids, and seawater, the tightly woven steel also passively resists radio-frequency hacking-the latest identity theft technique that attempts to scan newer credit cards. The wallet has six credit card slots, two internal pockets, and one large pocket for bills. 4 1/4 L x 3 1/4 W x 1/4 D. (4 3/4 oz.).

Inspired by Johann Uttenthaler's 1969 invention for gliding down the slopes of the Bavarian Alps, this zipfel bob combines the speed of Olympic luge racing with the effortless fun of coal shovel racing. Used in annual World Series competitions in Europe, riders sit with the joystick-like handle between their extended legs. It glides in a straight line on downhills, thanks to two molded rails on the underside of its slightly concave, high-density polyethylene frame that also allow you to make slalom-like turns in either groomed snow or fresh powder simply by leaning. Stopping is as simple as digging your heels in the snow. It only weighs 3 1/2 lbs., so transporting it up hills after each run is easy. Supports up to 250 lbs. Ages 5 and up. Made in the U.S. 20 L x 13 W x 14 H. (3 1/2 lbs.).

The working horn, flashing head- and taillights, and roaring engine sounds encourage imaginative play. Faithful outward details include sideview mirrors and chrome hubcaps. Operates for two hours after a 10-hour charge via AC. Requires one 9-volt and two AA batteries. Supports up to 45 lbs. Ages 3 to 6. 43 1/2 L x 24 W x 18 1/2 H. (28 1/2 lbs.).

This is the lambskin leather travel vest with 14 pockets that keep all your travel items within easy reach without the need for extra hip- or backpacks, yet it can be worn to dinner after a day's outing. Made of supple nappa lambskin with a buttery, soft hand, the arms are cut for freedom of movement while reaching overhead for luggage. Its pockets accommodate even the most accessory-laden traveler; the four front patch pockets can hold digital cameras, PDAs, cell phones, maps, and more. Each patch pocket has a zippered compartment that easily stores a key, coinage, or business cards. Two horizontal zippered pockets high on the chest can secure passports and other vital travel documents. It also has two hand-warmer pockets and two internal pockets. Lined with comfortable 100% cotton. Imported. Men's sizes M (38-40), L (42-44), XL (46), and XXL (48). (1 lb.).

This is the chronograph for cycling enthusiasts made by the 106-year-old company Festina, the official timekeeper for the Tour de France. Its bezel is shaped like the chainring on a bicycle with carbon fiber inserts, and the crown is housed in a bicycle chain link affixed to the #316 stainless steel case. Its precise timekeeping is provided by a Miyota movement--regarded as one of the world's best makers of quartz watch movements--and it has three additional sub-faces: a chronograph minute face, a chronograph 1/100 second face, and a 24-hour face. A magnified date window clearly displays the day of week, and the hour, minute, and second hands are all illuminated for use in the dark. A scratch-resistant stainless clasp secures the rubber and stitched fabric band to the wrist. Sturdy mineral crystal face. Double O-ring gaskets provide water-resistance to 100 meters. 1 3/4 W x 1/4 H. (6 oz.).

Only available at Hammacher Schlemmer, this is the three-volume collection of miscellany that contains an eclectic agglomeration of random marginalia, trivia, and trifles that covers such disparate subjects as American diner slang, the ABCs of rowing, and metric wire gauges.

Schott's Original Miscellany includes a schematic of Dante's Inferno, the social hierarchy of falconry, and the United States presidential line of succession, while Schott's Sporting, Gaming & Idling Miscellany illustrates how to successfully navigate the maze at Hampton Court and when a Baffing Spoon might be more appropriate than a Brassie.
