Cosmo-lovers and Bond wannabes will love this stainless-steel martini glass ($6.96 each) from Sur La Table. Unlike its glass counterpart, this metal tumbler isn’t at risk for shattering—and has a cool futuristic vibe.

Sur La Table has locations in Virginia, Maryland and DC.

This two-piece cognac set ($44) from Tabletop DC is reminiscent of a spinning top, giving it a fresh, playful feel.
