Da Fins | $66 Whether exploring a coral reef in Java or bodysurfing at Waimea, you’ll need a strong set of fins. These powerful propellers float, so they’re tough to lose in the surf.

The three-tiered system lets water ease its way through ground coffee, one drip at a time, in a central chamber.

Wintersmiths Ice Baller | $85 That visible cloudiness in substandard ice cubes is due to air pockets inside. They decrease the mass of your ice, causing the cubes to melt faster and water down your expensive cocktail. Which is bad. This makes very good ice: slow melting, perfectly transparent spheres.

And like other smart bulbs, they're dimmable, app-controllable, and ready for your if-this-then-that recipes. Stephanie Gonot
