This vintage etsy seller takes such glorious photographs for her shop.  Regardless, your 1960s office would be embarrassingly incomplete without this lamp.

To keep your Tom Collins on the rocks. I love the black vinyl faux-alligator pattern and the wooden knob on top. love. Go ahead and buy it here. go on now.

Seriously, don’t smoke, it’s gross and you smell bad and then you die. but! perhaps you know a casual cigar smoker, or someone with a medical marijuana prescription that fancy midcentury design? regardless, these ashtrays sure are classy.

Who has time to check accuweather.com any more? No one, that’s who.  And you know what else? It’s swanky, and I almost never have an occasion to use that word.  Available here.
