modernist's gingerbread house

modern_gingerbread_house_2.jpg For the modernist in your life, a mid-century styled gingerbread house for the holidays. Quite nice, though less festive than the traditional house ($55) and more expensive. Believe it or not, it's not easy to create. Large pieces of gingerbread are fragile, and because of its odd shape, they require more time to assemble.

$78 at RedEnvelope. (Allow 5 extra days for delivery, with or without personalization.)

LP to Digital Recording Turntable

Even the last of the LP keepers must have converted to digital by now, but still, they [we] can't seem to depart from our favorites, the good and the bad, unfortunately. By principle, it is not right to have to pay the .99 cents to repurchase our favorite songs again - just because technology has changed. Now thanks to Audio-Technica, for $77, we can convert all our LPs to digital via their turntable converter.
