At Yum (4000 Minnetonka Blvd., Minneapolis) for coffee — and, OK, a cinnamon pull-apart, but who's counting calories — we found ourselves admiring the Bodum tumblers used to serve hot drinks. Such a simple, functional design, and still, so stylish. The insulated glasses keep liquid hot without being hot to the touch. They are extremely light, but made from durable Borosilicate glass. Great for a hostess gift, or to raise your own cool factor. $15.95 for two at Bodum.com. (Yum and Macy's sometimes stock them.)
