Tee time: Japan-based Miura Golf, which introduces new clubs only every two or three years, has just released its Passing Point 9003 Forged Cavity Back Irons. The clubs are made to aid players who are segueing from casual golfers to committed competitors by positioning the center of gravity low, creating a wide sole and integrating weight and balance.
Starting at $225 per iron. Info: miuragolf.com/passingpoint-PP9003.asp

Cocoa wanderlust: You can travel the world without flying. At least, that's the concept behind Vosges' exotic chocolate-truffle collection. Each purple gift box is lined with 16 delicate, brown orbs, all promising your taste buds a far-flung adventure. An enclosed booklet leads the tour, with flavors from Nagaland (vibrant with curry) to China (redolent of star anise).
$40. Info: www.vosgeschocolate.com

April in Paris, with a twist: In spring, Paris is home to one of the oldest established funfairs in Europe, La Foire du Trône. Treat someone to this 1,000-year-old national tradition, then keep the historic, whimsical theme going and spend the night at one of the oldest, most palatial hotels in Paris: Le Meurice. The grande dame of 18th century style turns tradition on its ear with ultramodern, Salvador Dali-inspired accents slyly mixed among Sotheby's antiques. (Dali was a regular at the hotel.) The 3,000-square-foot Belle Etoile Royal Suite, a favorite with international celebrities, sits atop the hotel and features a private terrace with 360-degree views of the City of Light.
$22,000 per night. Info: www.foiredutrone.com, www.lemeurice.com

Smooth ride: Avid cyclists know a good frame makes all the difference. The Serotta Ottrott SE is handcrafted of carbon fiber and titanium and is fully customized to each rider's physique and style. The bike is known for its ability to comply with all types of riding conditions and for consistently delivering a frictionless ride, whether it's a steep climb or a rough-road surface.
Starting at $8,600. Info: www.serotta.com

Grape pleasure: Have an oenophile on your shopping list? Give the gift of grapes. Wine Grape Bonsais are 12-year-old specimens from the California wine country. The deciduous plants produce tiny, edible grapes that hang in clusters from the branches. Bonsais do best on a patio, but will also flourish in any indoor, sunny spot.

$225 per pair. Info: www.cufflinks.com

It also stores and pinpoints up to five locations by retracing steps and automatically tracking routes and mileage.

Bling, bling: Your iPhone may have all the bells and whistles, but what about 500 flawless diamonds?
