Hashish Candle

Hashish Candle

$68 at Jonathan Adler, 37 Greenwich Ave. (at Charles St.), 212-488-2803

Normally people attempt to mask the smell of burning drugs escaping from their rooms, but with this lovely candle from potter-about-town Jonathan Adler, the musky hash scent is the whole point. Ensconced in a pot-leaf-festooned ceramic container (just right for a stash box once the candle is gone), this two-wicked wonder is the perfect gift for the kid sick of tucking a towel under his door (“It’s the candle, Mom, I swear!”) or the sort of aged, bohemian smoker who can pull off the type of décor that usually comes along with Phish fans.


Sonic Fabric Neckties

$90 at www.sonicfabric.com

Rather than wasting precious time trying to rewind the tape in their old-school cassettes, the people over at Sonic Fabric decided to turn it into neckties. The end result is one wardrobe accessory that’s at once fashionable and audible. Made from a 50/50 mix of audiocassette tape and polyester thread, Sonic Fabric neckties take the fusion of fashion and music to the next level; all it takes is a tape head—compliments of a little MacGyvering with an old Walkman—to unleash these ties’ melodious mysteries. A special edition series of ties come in gray, black or brown, and, thanks to a collaboration with artists Julio Cesar, feature an audio ode to New York City life recorded on the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn.


The Mighty Boosh

$79.99 at Barnes & Noble, 97 Warren St. (at Greenwich St.), 212-587-5389

A dryly-observed comic concoction spiked with Monty Python-esque surrealism, this British sitcom follows the misadventures of Vince Noir and Howard Moon (creators Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt) as they work at a run-down zoo, live in a London flat and take new jobs at the pricelessly named “Nabootique” shop. But The Mighty Boosh’s “plot arc”matters a whole lot less than the wild digressions, musical interludes, talking animals and all other kinds of wacked-out craziness that spring from the collective minds of its makers. It’s an acquired taste worth acquiring, and this tricked-out special edition set makes it easy to do so: besides all 20 episodes, the collection contains multiple commentary tracks, documentaries, deleted scenes and compilations of songs within the series and more.
