Urban Ears Plattan Tweet Headphones
Make your cans a little more sophisticated–dress them up in tweed. So many headphones are overpriced. These are good looking, have pretty good quality audio, and they cost you less than a hundo.

LaCie PetiteKey
LaCie makes great, well-designed storage solutions. And shoot, we all could use a little more storage.

Plus, it looks like sleek little key. From $15.99
