The Logitech Craft

Current Price: $199 with two-day rush $16.87 shipping

Logitech Craft adapts to your unique workflow so you stay in the moment and deeply connected to what you’re making.

The standout feature of the Craft is the “creative input dial,” a large silver knob in the top left corner of the keyboard. Logitech has built integrations for seven apps — Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and InDesign; and Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel (although the Office integrations are only available on Windows for now). There are also some generic functions, like volume control or forward / back on pages that can be manually applied to any application (assuming it supports that input).

Pico is the world’s first smart color reader. Measure the color of anything with the Pico device by Palette. No more taking photos of color or searching through a color book. Just walk up to color and record it — instantly, precisely and forever. Pico is designed to work with the groundbreaking Pico App for color novices and experts alike. Whether you’re a painter, a graphic designer or a beautician, the Pico App has you covered.

Secret Wood Unique Resin Ring

Current Prices: $90.00 to $180 with shipping from $12 to $30

Their rings are handmade by craftsmen using different wood and jewelry resin. Some styles feature additional material such as blossoms and gold leaf. Every ring is unique and one of a kind and showcases an enchanting secret world.
