Small things, done properly
A high standard, quietly kept
We are not trying to be a category. We pick one thing at a time, use it long enough to know whether it is any good, and only then put it here.
That means the shelf stays short. It also means nothing on it is filler.

Three things have to be true
It solves something specific
Not a nicer version of something that already works. A fix for a problem you can name in one sentence.
It survives daily use
We keep it in the drawer, the car or the bathroom for weeks before deciding. Most things do not make it past this.
We can explain the price
If we cannot say plainly why it costs what it costs, it does not go up.
