If you were around at the time, you may remember the popularity that was The Whole Earth Catalog. Over the years, the catalog of useful and affordable tools that you could purchase through the mail became less and less needed and eventually went away for good in 1998. “Cool Tools: A Catalog of Possibilities” is like a jolt catalog nostalgia that also happens to be super useful. The book is comprised of reviews of 1,500 different tools that were once featured on the Cool Tools website. The 472-page book is like modern tech meeting old-school, tangible wonder.

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.
