#1 EDUN Dara V-neck Sweater
From the front, this is a seemingly traditional, understated, steel grey sweater with just a little interesting black detail at the shoulders. But, when you turn around, wow! You reveal that the subtle detailing is part of the wingspan of a sprawling set of black wings across the back. Makes you feel a little goth…but in an elegant way. Made of 100% wool. $195 at www.shopenvi.com.

#6 Oceana Sea Glass Dinnerware
I have lusted after this dinnerware set, made out of recycled sea glass, for a long time and hope to see it under my tree. The colors in a matte finish are amazing…lime, pewter, seafoam, and pearl…as are the shapes…squares, waves and triangles. And, as beautiful and fine as they are, they’re still dishwasher and microwave safe. Starting at $119 for a set of four small plates to $189 for large. Available at www.vivaterra.com.
