Truth be told I have not used these products, but they definitely pass my test regarding great design. Clean, linear and fun! Besides, if you are going to spend your allowance money on some face creams and the like, they might as well look good in your medicine cabinet.

Serge Lutens Fragrances
Douce Amere
Since I am on a beauty kick, I had to choose something that I have been using for years and have never gotten bored of it. Serge Lutens makes scents for both men and women. For the most part the parfums are unisex. I have my ten or twenty favorites but currently covet Douce Amere and Chergui with its hints of honey, musk, tobacco, leather, amber, rose and incense. Both these fragrances are strong enough for men to wear and truly don’t have the floral scent that could be considered feminine. They also last all day or night, depending on when I wear it. I love the bottle as well… simple, chic and easy to hold.
$110 dollars at select stores such as Neiman Marcus, Barneys and Fred Segal
The Bourgie Table Lamp www.conranshop.co.uk
Fitted with a light sensor, a brief touch turns this glamorous lamp on and off, while a more prolonged touch gradually increases or decreases the level of light. With its dramatic black polycarbonate frame and shade, Ferruccio Laviani’s reworking of a Baroque lamp sits comfortably in both classic and modern interiors. Takes three maximum 40W, type E14 bulbs (not included). £147 at time of writing. A U.S. is launching soon.
