A desktop essential made more meaningful, this custom paperweight is handcrafted in Maine to highlight a special location. The coordinates of your favorite spot are captured in a map set in a pewter compass rose that is designed to patina slowly over time. An iron easel lets you display your custom map with pride.
5) Cryosphere Cold Massage Roller

A well-rounded way to relieve your post-workout soreness. This massage roller ball combines foam rolling and icing therapy into a single sphere, so you can soothe your sore muscles at home. Leave it in the freezer—the gel interior stays cold up to six hours—so you can relax any ache, inflammation, or spasm one roll at a time.
