I like this simple little alarm clock. Small, zinc alloy and perfect for travel.

Modular furniture can be extremely handy to have. Though this looks to be an excellent size for children, I’m sure adults could utilize the pieces just as well.

So, this isn’t exactly something you might buy on a whim, (due to the unwieldly size and price tag) but it’s a pretty great piece if you have the space for it.

I don’t usually go for gold, but I do have to admit this setting looks pretty luxe on a tabletop.
