 | Bugging OutNow that everyone has an iPod (or three), the question is where to put it. Available later this month, the Ladybug Speaker Dock from Irvine-based Vestalife is a serious system perfect for the home or office. Unique speaker “wings” that flip down to maximize stereo separation, and a built-in three-inch subwoofer, make the Ladybug both portable and powerful – despite the cute name. Retails for $110 in silver or red; www.vesta-life.com. |
 | Time to Grow UpWith playful styling and equally playful model names (The Dork, The Superhero), it’s tempting to dismiss Nixon watches as child’s play – until you check out the Capital Automatic. Part of Nixon’s Elite Class, this bold timepiece features a stainless steel case and bracelet, enamel-filled bezel and crown, and sleek cutaway that exposes its Swiss-made mechanical movement. Retails for $600 at Surfside Sports, (949) 675-2855; www.nixonnow.com. |
