Dopp kits, socks, pocket knives, exotic cheeses, other accoutrements and food recs, etc... Let's hear 'em.

My contribution: Spherical ice molds. Keeps your drinks cold without watering them down.

Spherical molds aren't worth it. Just go with two stack-able 2" cubes.

I dunno man, since a sphere has the least amount of surface area per given volume of any geometric solid, those big round ice balls melt far, far slower.

Plus, everybody has square ice, but round ice looks cool and sets a Paddock man apart from the crowd [cheers].

Ha, I do like them. Had a few when they came out.. But if you're going to be a true Paddock drunk.. having a few sphere molds just doesn't cut it. I need 8-16-24 blocks ready to go!

Bonus points for pouring water into the trays.. much easier when you have the hangover shakes.

Does anyone actually have one of those massage chairs like you see in Brookstone?. The kinds that swallow up yer legs and feet? Wondering if it's worth the $3000+, not that money is an object, of course.

I have two of them. One is reserved for the rest of the family and guests to use. The other is strictly for my own personal use. They're ok I guess. But I really only use it twice a year when my personal masseuse is on vacation.

Filtered water..

..but ONLY in office-style jug form. You know, so I don't have to fill a college dorm Brita filter 7 times a day...

I have a couple really nice things. My wife bought me a real nice watch 4 years ago with her bonus at work. I bought myself a nice pair of shoes in Washington DC. Wear the watch everyday, wear the shoes when I dress up. Love them both and will keep them the rest of my life. I would love to have a tailored suit, but I wouldn’t wear it enough to pay for it so I haven’t got one.

Oh yeah, I have a grey cashmere zip hoodie from Orvis. It’s great in all kinds of situations and it’s so comfortable.
