Stuart Gardiner Design makes a variety of informative kitchen towels, including this duo which help you decide what wine to pair with dinner. Simply pick the red or white wine towel, select your foods, and the grid will tell you what wine styles work and what won’t. They also make a beer pairing towel.

Snowboarding is an activity that requires gravity to cause acceleration. Other than ramps and moguls on a downhill slope, you can’t really go uphill. That changes today, thanks to Red Bull snowboarding athlete Clemens Millauer, who headed up the mountain with the help of a helicopter, a snowmobile, and a tow line.

Be ready for every kind of adventure with this versatile 13-function pocket knife from Victorinox. It’s ideal for hunting expeditions with its locking main blade, gutting tool, wood saw, screwdrivers, can opener, bottle opener, punch/awl, and more. Its two-component scales are durable and offer a reassuring grip.

Your typical nutcracker does a pretty good job at pulverizing walnut shells. But Shane from Stuff Made Here wanted something that could crack a steel nut, so he put his engineering chops to good use and built this insanely powerful nutcracker that uses gunpowder to chomp down with more force than Jaws in Moonraker.

Toronto artist ByCookieCrafts makes precision-cut geometric wall art out of wood. Among their selection of shapes are these 7-piece sets which look like RPG dice. They come in sizes from 2″ to 10″ tall, in black-stained maple, natural maple, walnut, or mahogany. We also like their Pokémon and playing card suit designs.

Forgotten Weapons takes a look at an unusual piece that dates back to the 1860s. The Sure Defender combined brass knuckles, a wavy dagger, and a single-shot pistol in one. It wasn’t the most practical weapon, but it certainly gave users a variety of options.

Select any map you want, and Foster Leathercraft will make you a custom work of wall art by carving and embossing real leather. Each map is mounted to a sturdy fiberboard backing, and can be framed for just a few dollars more. They offer small, medium, and large sizes.

Stop-motion animator Kevin Parry shows off a neat rig he built using LEGO pieces. The highly-articulated dinosaur skeleton looks amazing as it comes to life in this brief frame-by-frame sequence. Given the green screen, we imagine he’ll be adding a background to the scene.

LÜM-TEC watch markers, numbers, and hands feature an 8-layer coating of Super-Luminova, which gives them some of the brightest glow-in-the-dark capabilities we’ve seen. They come in a variety of styles, each powered by an accurate quartz movement. Special pricing available from Touch of Modern through 12.13.21.

Kristina Makushenko is a world champion in artistic swimming. We watched in awe as she performed this seemingly impossible trick in which she maneuvers from a standing position through a 360º loop by precisely controlling her body and breathing. Her upside-down moonwalk is equally bonkers.

The talented vocalists of Eclipse 6 put together this great holiday-themed parody of Hamilton which recasts the part of Alexander Hamilton with a similarly brilliant outsider who will someday guide Santa’s sleigh. This story has a much happier ending too. (Thanks, Rob!)

Just because you’re sitting outside doesn’t mean you need to be uncomfortable. Stoic’s folding chair is great for camping or tailgating and has a padded and quilted seat, back, and arms to cradle you in comfort. It packs into an included carrying bag and can hold up to 250 lbs.

Domino expert Lily Hevesh compiled this 20-minute reel of some of her most satisfying constructions being knocked over. She wisely chose not to add music, instead allowing our minds to drift to the relaxing sound of toppling dominoes.

Most smartphone headsets have tiny microphones built into their cords. W&M Levsha took one of those mics, pulled it from its case and created a new enclosure for it out of brass. The finished microphone has a 3.5mm jack for plugging it in and looks like a miniature version of one of those fancy studio microphones.

These hot and spicy orange sneakers are done up in rich shades inspired by curry. They sit atop the Overbreak’s puffy white midsole and outsole that always reminded us of spray foam insulation or shipping peanuts. Drops 12.14.21.

Musician Alex Melton proves yet again that just about any song can be done in the style of Blink-182. His latest take on the pop-punk maestros imagines what the Oasis track Wonderwall might have sounded like if Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus created the song instead of Noel and Liam Gallagher.
