The Pistachio Pedestal is an elegant solution for storing discarded shells

NEWS – Who doesn’t like pistachios? Absolutely no one, that’s who. Let’s face it the little green nuts themselves are great, but the shells, not so much. Unless you have the Pistachio Pedestal.

The Pistachio Pedestal is a two-tiered solid wood pistachio server designed to offer a solution for storing discarded shells.

Aside from being very handy, the Pistachio Pedestal is quite elegant. It’s routed from solid North American Maple and then hand sanded. And it’s smooth food-safe finish comes from teak oil.

The top tier holds up to 8 oz of whole nuts and even features a pistachio-green colored rim. While the lower, broader level is where you stash the shells. No more fumbling for a makeshift discard dish for leftover debris.

The two tiers also come apart, making it easy to dispose of the discarded shells.

The Pistachio Pedestal sells for $48 and is available on uncommongoods.

Time’s flying! Hurry and catch this golden snitch!

NEWS – There’s not a lot of information about the Golden Snitch Clock from Pottery Barn Teen, but you can be sure it would be a hit with any devoted Harry Potter fan. The clock is made of zinc alloy with aluminum hands and a steel backing. It has a high gloss gold finish, just as you would expect from a golden snitch.

The clock face is 1.5″, with a 0.75″ minute hand and a 0.5″ hour hand. With wings included, the clock has an overall 7″ diameter. It runs on one 1.5V button cell battery; two are included. It requires minor assembly and includes a mini screwdriver used to attach the wings.

The Harry Potter Golden Snitch Clock is $49 at PBteen.

Orbit is an iPhone cord organizer with a surprise

NEWS – Are you one of those mobile warriors that shove your cables and adapters into your gear bag with willy nilly abandon only to cuss later on when you find the cables tangled or can’t find the AC adapter that you need to charge your iPhone? The folks at the Hip Product Factory have come up with a solution for that problem with their Orbit cord organizer.

The Orbit accepts the iconic iPhone AC adapter, which slides into the center of the Orbit, while the lightning cable orbits (see what they did there?) around it in a handy storage slot. But wait, there’s more…

By itself, the Orbit is a nice solution for keeping your iPhone lightning cable and AC adapter neat and tidy for transport, but it hides another feature which is handy too. Remove the AC adapter, rotate it so the prongs are facing out, plug it into a wall outlet and place your iPhone in the top of the Orbit which is now a holder while the phone chargers.

The Orbit iPhone cord organizer is available in several colors for $15. You can read more about it at Hip Product Factory and buy one from Uncommon Goods.

WaterField introduces the Vero Leather Sleeve for MacBook Pro and Surface

NEWS – WaterField makes beautiful, protective cases for your gear, and they never rest on their laurels. They are constantly introducing new bags, sleeves, and pouches so you can find what works best for you. They have just announced a couple of new Vero Leather Sleeves – one for the MacBook Pro models with Touch Bar and one for the Surface Pro 6 with Type Cover and Surface Laptop 2.

Regardless of which Vero you choose, the sleeves are made of a single hide of premium full-grain leather that will only look better with age. Both models are compact, thin, and lightweight; they are designed for a snug fit to better protect your device. A plush interior lining cushions your device, and a leather grip at the bottom of the sleeve makes it easier to remove your device. Both are TSA-friendly.

Other than the size, there are a couple of differences between the Vero models. The MacBook Pro version has a cutout at the top so you can charge the laptop while it’s in the sleeve. The Surface versions have a slot on the back to hold the Surface Pen.

Vero Sleeves are available in chocolate or grizzly leather. The Vero Leather Sleeve for MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is $119 for the 13″ size or $129 for the 15″ version. If you order now, you can expect the MacBook Pro Vero to ship October 19th. The Vero Leather Sleeve for Surface is $119 for both the Surface Pro 9 with Type Cover and the Surface Laptop 2. The Surface sleeves will ship by November 2nd. Learn more at WaterField.
