Spice up this holiday season with these incredibly cool mortar and pestle sets by Pakistani-Canadian product designer Tahir Mahmood, available from Caviar 20 for $110-190. We love them as much for their functionality as for their design. The solid Indian Rosewood pieces are shaped using traditional lathe turning techniques and the vibrant sap-based resin colors are applied with palm leaves.
