Blade Wine Trio
Here’s where the rubber meets the Rhône: A corkscrew, an aerating decanting pourer, and a freshness-preserving vacuum pump—each covered with rubber for ergonomic ease of use—merge sophisticated style with pure functionality.

Picnic Time Piccadilly Picnic Basket for Two
Forget Coleman Coolers: This English-style willow basket is a throwback to simpler days when picnics were, well, a little more complex. It features plates, wine glasses, flatware, and a corkscrew—everything that you need for a romantic outing. (Except your love…and maybe a blanket or two.)

Waterford Crystal Filled Candles
The traditional 15th anniversary gift gets a new twist with these fragrant candles, each set in a different Waterford crystal container. (Diamond cuts versus optic ovals, for instance.) Scents like champagne, lavender cedar, citrus basil, and mint jasmine are lovely while they last, but you can use the holders to display flowers for the next 15 years—and more.

Family 3 in 1 Game Set
A far cry from those old cardboard Hasbro boards that were worn to shreds in suburban rec rooms (Scrabble, anyone?), this is as much a stylish centerpiece as a game set. But the game is on! (Actually, there are four: backgammon, checkers, chess, and dominoes.) For no extra charge, have your family name or anniversary date inscribed on the bobuy: $99, markandgraham.com

Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine
Instead of leaving the house for a Venti Latte—or a Coffee Coolatta, for that matter—brew your own espresso in seconds from Nespresso capsules. (And call it whatever you want.) The machine will be ready to brew a minute after turning on and has an automatic turn-off feature. Available in red, black, or gray, it’s a stylish kitchen-counter upgrade.

Mason Jar Herb Garden Kit
At once useful, rustic, and lovely, this kit turns four “lowly” Mason jars into windowsill herb gardens. Use the four half-pint jars, organic potting soil, pea pebbles, and seeds to grow basil, cilantro, parsley, and clover. But as far as making the pesto goes? You’re on your own.
