When there’s someone really special that you want to honor a blown up print from kinkos isn’t going to cut it. You’ll need something really beautiful and original, like these hand carved wood portraits by Earth Dancer Designs. Each wood portrait is made from a solid piece of wood and takes a month of careful carving to complete. These incredibly detailed 3D reliefs measure about 15″x17″ and about 3-4″ high, making them pretty impressive pieces of work to hang over the mantle.
Visit Earth Dancer Designs for more custom hand carved wood items.

If you only drink Jack Daniels then you have no right to call yourself a whiskey drinker. Unlike JD, good whiskey isn’t a cheap way to get drunk fast; good whiskey should be savored and enjoyed. But before you go spending all your cash on a bottle of the top shelf stuff, you should find out what you like. Enter, Wiskysamples, the online whiskey bar that lets you try a 3 cl sample (about 1 fluid ounce) of more than 250 types of whiskey.
Luc Timmermans started this unique service after a hotel bartender insisted he skip the Jack Daniels N°7 and try a Single Malt Whisky, Dalwhinnie 15 Yrs. Luc got hooked to the “water of life” and decided to share his passion with the world. [UPDATE] Unfortunately, if you’re in the US you’re out of luck because Wiskysamples only delivers to select countries in Europe. Wiskysamples are available in the US and some parts of Europe.

Wargaming lets you create your own battle scenarios with small figures and terrain. Wargaming can be historical, fantasy or even modern, depending on what style you’re into. Part of the hobby isn’t just playing the game, but collecting scenery and painting it. Simply 6 offers model buildings and pieces of scenery on a 6mm scale, available fully painted or unpainted. Each piece is made of marble based polyester resin, perfect for acrylic or enamel paints.
Check out Simply 6 and start building your own wargame collection.
