Back this year, Counter Culture Coffee’s holiday blend Iridescent will be available online beginning in November and featured at select cafés around the country. The limited-edition coffee features chocolatey notes and is packaged in a gift-worthy box. Plus, the roaster donates a nickel per pound from all coffees sold to fund projects in coffee-growing regions. Pricing starts at $15 for a 12-ounce bag.

Podo is a tiny app-controlled camera that turns any surface into a portable photo booth. The device sticks and un-sticks thanks to its reusable and washable “sticky pad.” Users can manipulate their phones to preview and control the shot; the images and videos are then wirelessly transferred to the phone. It’s available in blue, red, black, and white and gold, and costs $99.
