Wu-Tang Bicycle

What: In celebration of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)‘s 20th anniversary, the legendary hip-hop collective embarked on a lengthy tour and then offered fans a knitted sweater for god knows what.

Major/Minor Scale Wine Glasses

What: One may think of an assortment of tealight candles, dimmed lights, and an elegant table dressing to ring in the most romantic setup. But, where’s the music? These major scale wine glasses allow each member of the party to contribute their own pitch, whether in conversation or not. Most importantly, if a dinner guest starts ringing some higher pitches, it’s time to reach for that bottle and give them another splash of wine.
