For Competitors
Keep the rivalry friendly—in and out of the office—with a terry-suede travel backgammon roll by Vivre. Casual gamers and collectors will appreciate the hip orange and blue colors. The easy roll-up mat costs $365 and makes for a good time even on the go.

For Gourmands
Picky epicureans will whet their appetites with the new line of luxury packaged foods from Donatella Arpaia (owner of Ama, Dona, and David Burke and Donatella). The homemade pasta sauces, bottled olive oil, and cylinders of rustic almond cookies are beautifully packaged in classic glass jars and sleek canisters to please the eye (as well as the stomach); costs range from $10 to $22.

For Homebodies
New York’s most fashionable potter, Jonathan Adler, makes everyone feel right at home. Case in point: His latest line of ceramic dinnerware and centerpieces mixes classic and whimsical touches. Pieces like the Giant Bjorn, a fired stoneware vase inspired by seeds, barnacles, and pebbles ($250), and the Large Bird Bowl finished with a matte white glaze ($110) are sure to start conversations.

For the Tech-Obsessed
Travelers with a penchant for primetime can keep up with their favorite TV shows using the brand-new technology of Slingbox. The breakthrough device (like a mobile DVR with the added capability of watching live streaming television) turns any Internet-connected laptop, desktop, PDA, or smart phone into a personal, portable television for catching local news abroad, watching the game desk-side, or staying up to date with Grey’s Anatomy. The device costs $199.99.
