We’ve said it before: there’s a soft spot in our hearts for a cool product that ingeniously repurposes a mundane object to serve a new function. We’re not talking about MacGuyvering an AM Radio out of a paper clip, a Q-tip, and 9 volt battery either. Take these old classic hand-cast iron C-clamps from Crate and Barrel. Designed to be bookends, they work perfectly on virtually any shelf, and hold fast a set of books or any other object that needs to stand upright. They lend a bit of masculine style to any place, and while you’re baby-soft hands may have never hewed a piece of wood in their lives, you can at least familiarize yourself with the hardware.

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.
