Artecnica TranSglass
Personally I would love to have the Handcut Carafe and Matching Tumbler on my nightstand.
They are made in Guatemala and come in either in a clear finish, or this lovely glowing satin.

Good ideas
The rubber is more gentle on the knife edges than wood, and you can slide the block out and stick it in the dishwasher. It holds quite a bit more than a traditional block, too - because you can (carefully) pack the knives in closer we were able to get rid of a whole extra block! Hopefully they will make replaceable rubber inserts in case they start to break down over time, and you can avoiding having to buy a whole new set...

Sesen glass water bottles
Don't get me wrong - I still love my wide-mouth Nalgene. It's indestructible, ergo it's always going to be the better choice when hiking and camping. It's just that the Sesen bottle would look a little more elegant in the 'fridge door, or sitting on my desk at the office. A little more grown up.

For the Birds
Here are a few things that will give them a warm welcome after a long trip home...
Pretty, modern and easy to see when it needs a refill!
Gourd Birdhouse by Amish Gourds
My mom has always grown birdhouse gourds. As kids, it was a fun project to make them into Spring birdhouses. After waiting all winter for the center to dry out, my sister and I would have a fierce maraca session before we finally cut open the "little birdie front door." All that was left was to hang them up and wait for the birds to move in. Fun, biodegradable, renewable. About as eco-friendly as you can get!
Recycled Glass Hummingbird Feeder
Several different hummingbird species are endangered, mostly because they are incredibly sensitive to changes in their environment. Give them somewhere both pretty and safe to eat, and you'll get to watch these amazing birds up close! (If you have cats, make sure the feeder is hung well outside the reach of hungry paws.)
from Bird & Home
Am I the only one that built these in elementary school? Well, mine certainly didn't look this good, and definitely didn't have a copper roof. Anyone can put one up - even if you aren't handy with a saw and hammer. (The ideal location for these is on a five foot pole at the edge of an open area.)
Buri Collection at Smith & Hawken
Beautiful colors and shapes that look more like pieces of art hanging from the branches....
Springtime Nest Bell Jar at William-Sonoma
If you don't have a yard or balcony, this pretty little nest in a cloche is a lovely substitute for the real thing!

Gifts for Gardeners
run-of-the-mill white metal downspout.
and would be dreamy dotting
your garden pathways at night -
no wiring or electricity needed.
and hopefully they'll pay your generosity back
with some yummy tomatoes!
to hang out in your garden
and snack on pesky bugs as well!
