This purse is a two-in-one deal. Made in Brazil of soft washed leather, the Dasher & Dancer Purse actually consists of a large shoulder bag and a much smaller one that are held together by large snaps.

Ordinarily, you might not associate cufflinks with something really fun or whimsical, but the Forever Young Cufflinks are just that. They look quite similar to the iconic Legos blocks, so they’ll probably impress your kids in addition to getting a few smiles out of your coworkers when you wear them in to the office. Unlike the real blocks, you can’t stack them, so while they can be an icebreaker at a meeting, they can’t keep you from getting bored while listing several hours of presentations. They are available in one of 13 different colors, all with sterling silver backings. Price: $150.
