Before you buy all your gifts for friends and family, give this catalog a look. See which surprising items you may actually want to add to your holiday wish list.
Coravin Model 6 SmartClamp Wine Preservation System: $399.95
There’s nothing more upsetting than opening an expensive bottle of wine only to have it go bad before you’re able to finish it. You’ll never have to experience that again if you add the Coravin Model 6 SmartClamp Wine Preservation System to your at-home bar.
The patented wine system allows you to enjoy a glass of wine without removing the cork by poking an ultra-thin needle into it. After pouring, the cork naturally reseals itself, preserving the wine inside. Sure, $400 seems steep, but if you end up tossing out half-drank bottles of wine pretty regularly, this handy tool could end up paying for itself.
Smeg Electric Kettle 3D Logo: $199.95
Yes, you can buy electric tea kettles for cheaper, but will they be as chic? This retro-looking Smeg kettle is available in 10 colors, so you can match it perfectly to your kitchen decor.
Ooni Koda 16 Pizza Oven: $499
The perfect gift for a pizza lover, the Ooni Koda 16 Pizza Oven can bake a 16-inch pizza in just 60 seconds. It can also be used to cook steak, chicken, vegetables and even pies. Plus, it’s portable so you can take it with you to picnics and tailgate parties.

H&H Bagels With Schmear & Nova Lox, Dozen Set: $149.95
There’s nothing quite like a fresh, New York City bagel, and thanks to Williams Sonoma, you can now have a dozen shipped straight to your door — along with cream cheese and lox of course. The bagels are made by the famed H&H Bagels — which has been featured on “Seinfeld,” “The Office” and “Sex & the City” — and are shipped fresh and chilled. The dozen-bagel set also includes Nova Scotia smoked salmon, plain cream cheese and scallion cream cheese.

YETI V-Series Cooler: $800
The ideal gift for someone who loves to tailgate but also appreciates the finer things in life might just be this $800 YETI cooler. Its stylish stainless exterior protects a vacuum-insulated interior that keeps its contents ice cold for hours.

Does anyone really need a $300 toaster? Probably not, but this gourmet toaster will please anyone who is very particular about their toast. The Wolf Gourmet toaster has extra-large slots to fit everything from sourdough slices to bagels to brioche, and a shade selector dial allows you to choose one of seven precise toast colors, from light to dark. The toaster will also keep your bread warm until you’re ready to eat it.
