Fancy Flashlight
Okay, so maybe you don’t technically need your flashlight to be made of Damascus steel hand-forged by talented jewelry designer Chris Ploof … but wouldn’t it be awesome if it was? It’s an infinitely more impressive portable light source than the standard plastic model you’ll find at your local hardware store. And you’ll look so cool when you whip this baby out to help a customer find an earring they’ve dropped on the floor.
$1,000 – $1,500
