Able to fit both oil or wax candles, it makes the perfect gift or will look stunning on your table for all eight nights.

These are made for adults, with flavors like lime with elderflower, hibiscus with raspberry, cherry with vanilla and pomegranate with dragonfruit—just to name a few.

Grow herbs, baby vegetables and flowers in any season—even in small kitchens with no windows or natural light—with the Veritable Indoor Garden. This fully automated indoor growing system keeps the plants watered and mimics the light cycle of daylight. After two years of thoughtful design, Veritable created this compact countertop garden with energy-saving LEDs and a light color spectrum designed to encourage faster growth and maximize flavor. Lights turn on and off each day and automatic irrigation does the work for you, so your plants will get all the light, water and nutrients they need–even if you go on vacation. It’s compact enough to fit under cabinets on most countertops, even after the plants grow to their tallest with the adjustable lights. Each garden can grow more than 70 varieties of plants, starting with a pod that contains organic seeds, soil and nutrients specific to each plant for optimal growth. To get you started, you’ll receive four pods, called Lingots, with your order: parsley, basil, chives and thyme, all of which will be ready to eat in just four weeks, with a regular harvest lasting four to six months.

Meet your next heirloom piece. Provence Platters reclaims retired wine barrels from vineyards in the countryside of Napa or Bordeaux and turns each one into stunningly beautiful serving pieces and barware, like this ice bucket. Like great wine, every piece from Provence Platter takes time and skill to perfect. Each piece takes four or five years to make, from drying out retired wine barrels all the way to using woodworking techniques, like tongue-and-groove joinery, to seamlessly assemble the ice bucket. It’s perfect for chilling wine or champagne; a stainless steel liner protects the French oak staves from exposure to moisture. And it’s finished with iron handles, forged by hand in Brooklyn the old-fashioned way: by heating and hand-bending each piece.

Every ice bucket is handcrafted and entirely unique (many will bear their original cooperage marks, which share the origins and construction of each barrel). These are some of the most stunning, elegant reclaimed pieces we’ve seen yet—each one is truly a collectible statement piece. Note: The ice bucket may have a unique wine-stained hue, from the barrels’ first lives.
