If you were to pop into Cool Material HQ, you’d find a bunch of desks with toys on top of them. Not little kid toys and action figures—though, there are a few of those—but attractive, professional time-wasters that help us when we need to concentrate and look good when not in use. The newest one of us will be adding is Vortecon. The spinning desk toy is hypnotic when you give it a spin, creating an optical illusion of a flowing helix. Machined from stainless steel, brass, or copper, the Vortecon is right at home in any place of business. It spins silently and is addictive to play with. You can back it on Kickstarter now and even take advantage of an early bird special if you act quickly enough.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
