A Touch of Glass
Tiffany's newest gems dazzle — but they aren't diamonds. They're chic glass vases in summery colors that will complement almost any décor. Shown here, a small striped vase (in a choice of six colors; $175) and a round vase (also available in blue; $165).

Fruit of the God
Chocoholics, take note: There's a new truffle on the block. It's light. It's tangy. And it's perfect for summer. Godiva's new mango truffle will enrich your world and, if you're not careful, your hips. Indulge in moderation. A five-piece box is $10.50 ($33 per pound).

It's a Snap
Kodak's newest EasyShare LS420 digital camera is the answer to digital-phobes' prayers. The pocket-size wonder is truly a no-brainer to use. Shoot what you want, put the camera on the docking station (included), hit a button, et voilà! Pictures are transferred and pop up in a slide-show window. Follow onscreen instructions to crop, add color, or fix red eyes. The camera comes with 8MB internal memory (takes about 49 low-res pictures), rechargeable battery, and carrying case. PC- and Mac-compatible ($299).

Make Your Fortune
Custom fortune cookies — all the rage at hip parties — come in your choice of 50 themed sets from Creative Cookies. In the wedding collection, for instance, you might find "It takes a smart husband to have the last word — and not use it" or "Any girl can tell you that the only thing harder than a diamond is getting one." Among other themes are sports, holidays, and cities, including New York. Ten cookies per box ($5).

It's a Girl Thing
Inspired by Girl Scout handbooks from the fifties, which featured toasts in different languages, Jane Timberlake of A-1 Product Co. designed a set of six sixteen-ounce glasses, each with text in a different language ($66 a set).
