Sweet: Bee Raw Honey Flights

This precious oak block showcases nine 1oz vials of artisanal bee juice, hand-corked in NY and sourced nationwide, from the light-colored, northern-climb Basswood (pairs w/ green apples and vanilla ice cream), to the molasses-like, Washington State Buckwheat (strong cheese), to the amber-hued and buttery North Carolina varietal known as Sourwood (everything from Asian foods to buttermilk biscuits; also the secret ingredient in Southern bbq sauce, and jokes about your cock).

Whatever you do, don't tell her you're giving some to get some: WorldPantry.com

Jewelry: Brevity Necklaces

From a NY designer, these affordable acrylic and stainless steel necklace gewgaws sport svelte and alluring (but fundamentally non-committal) geometric patterns, like hexagonal grids, honeycombs, and bubbles. Also the company's called Brevity, so if it doesn't work out, she can't say you didn't warn her.

Most women have the same-sized neck. Probably. Gift up at Store.BrevityDesign.com

Gear: Married to the MOB

Tell your girl she's almost as bad-ass as you think you are with the "Most Official Bitches" holiday line: everything from hoodies sporting puckered lip logos and shamrocks, to tees flaunting phrases like "Other Bitches Just Front" and "DILLIGAF?", which you surely already know is street-IM for "Do I Look Like I Give A F**k?"

Kitchen: Sorapot

From a Bklyn-based coffee hater, this oblong stainless steel and Pyrex tea-brewer will enable her dainty oolong habit despite looking like a bomb devised by a ruthlessly fey European terrorist (Tea Hard: With a Vengeance).

Art: 20x200

Curated by a LES gallery owner and updated twice weekly w/ prints starting at $20, this online boutique hawks small batch runs of everything from desolate Western townscapes, to a still life of a grounded raft longing to enter a lake, to colorful abstract illustrations exploring "relational space". Sadly, there are no copies of the rare-since-your-deflowering "10 Reasons Beer is Better Than Women".
