The weekend always goes for two.
Your Perks: 1) Chocolates infused with champagne and other buzz-inducing concoctions, just in time for Valentine’s Day. 2) 30% off some of Italy’s most coveted ties, made in Lake Como. 3) 30% off Karma—a tiny box that turns you into a walking wi-fi hotspot. Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt... much.

What you have here: a few bottles of barrel-aged brandy Manhattans, Sazeracs and other potent adult refreshments that are about to be delivered to your front door. What you have in your pocket: a plastic method of acquiring said refreshments. Hopefully. Because the Internet doesn’t take cash yet.
