Price range is $12-$100 depending on how many you order.  Also follow Treesixtyfive on Instagram to see a new tree everyday.

Bose SoundLink Revolve Speaker ($199.95) is their first speaker to incorporate 360-degrees of sound. Extremely portable, it overcomes its small body by using a downward-facing transducer, dual passive radiators, and a carefully-angled acoustic deflector to transmit full sound wherever it's placed. Its rechargeable battery lasts for 12 hours per charge, Bluetooth frees you from the tyranny of wires, and the water-resistant body means it's as welcome at the pool as it is on the patio. Also available in a larger, more robust "+" version for $100. Check out Bose website for more info.

There are so many new features of the Galaxy S8. There is one you won't discover until you park it on your desk. The Samsung Dex Desktop Dock allows it and could be a standard of future Samsung phones to become an Android-based desktop, connecting to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse for a more versatile experience. Thanks to partnerships with Microsoft and Adobe, you get access to versions of apps like Microsoft Office and Lightroom that simply aren't possible with a touch interface, while keeping all the versatility and mobility that comes with having a computer in your pocket.

Reducing the turntable to its most basic elements and its beautifully designed. The Miniot Wheel Turntable cleverly hides its components behind the record itself. An electronically-stabilized belt drive spins the heavy aluminum platter at a perfect 33.3 rpm, while the outer ring secures the record and eliminates resonance. The tonearm, modified AT95E cartridge, drive, amp, and electronics sit in a vibration-isolated block inside a cavity in the platter, and it's all controlled by the center stick. A wood base in walnut, cherry, or mahogany gives the minimal design an added bit of finish. You can check out more about this turntable on Kickstarter.
