Morning coffee still steams at the end of a long workday when stored in this briefcase bottle from Nissan. This larger version of the popular FBB500 bottle holds enough cocoa for a small family, and is easily stowed in a daypack or briefcase. While the thermos keeps hot beverages warm, it also excels in keeping cold drinks chilled. Made from stainless steel, the thermos is both durable and easy to care for. Vacuum insulation keeps fluids secure within the thermos and hot for up to 12 hours. Cold beverages remain cool for up to 24 hours. The lid easily twists on and off, and features a leak-proof design. The briefcase bottle holds up to 34 ounces. Hand wash only. –Jessica Reuling

The understated patterning of the Wallace Continental Bead flatware has the ageless elegance of a strand of pearls. As a result, it is highly versatile, looking equally poised with a set of simple dinnerware as with fine china. Each piece tapers narrowly at the neck and broadens generously at the rounded end. The beaded edgework is fine and precise and slightly inset for subtle contrast with the smooth central surface. Crafted from 18/10 stainless steel with continental sizing, the line combines generous proportions with a pleasant weightiness in the hand. They have a gleaming finish, are dishwasher-safe, and never need polishing. With 65 pieces total, this set is perfect for frequent entertainers and large families. It includes 12 place settings, each with a 9-3/4 knife, an 8-3/8 dinner fork, a 7-3/8-inch salad fork, a 7-1/2-inch soup spoon, and a 6-1/4-inch teaspoon. The 5-piece hostess set adds a tablespoon, a pierced tablespoon, a cold meat fork, a butter knif … >>> Special Offers and Product Promotions

Anyone from the college grad moving into a first apartment to the newly retired outfitting a vacation home would appreciate a gift of this kitchen set. These are the everyday essentials a kitchen shouldn’t be without: slotted spoon, solid spoon, slotted turner, and meat fork. Made of mirror polished, professional quality 18/10 stainless steel, the dishwasher-safe implements feature long, comfortable handles embossed with the Cuisinart logo. A hole at the end of each tool allows it to be hung handily near the stove, where it can be admired for its looks as well.–Ann Bieri
