Out of Print offers this set of eight water-resistant coasters, each featuring the cover of an iconic read. (Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” and George Orwell’s “1984,” to name a few.) The coasters come in a canvas-wrapped “book case.” For each set purchased, Out of Print’s partner – Books For Africa – will send one book to a community in need. $20, www.outofprintclothing.com.

Repurposed candleholders

Eco-home purveyors Bambeco use recycled wire to create the elegant Solano candleholders. Sold in a set of three, the varying heights add interest. The smallest measures 13 inches tall, the medium 19 inches and the largest 21 inches. $145 for the set, www.bambeco.com. HT
