Apocalypse, Now: Gifts for doomsayers

By SCOTT KEARNAN | December 6, 2012

LITTLE PANCAKES PEANUT POCKETKNIFE NECKLACE :: $36 :: You know those dystopian sci-fi fantasies where the hero battles bad guys using an arm that's been replaced by a machine gun? (Or maybe a flamethrower!) It looks cool on the big screen; for a cocktail party, not so much. This peanut-shaped pocketknife necklace from JP artist Melissa Wallace of Little Pancakes is a more fashionable accessory: cute enough to wear out with your date, sharp enough to take him down if he turns out to be an Earth-invading cyborg. etsy.com/shop/littlepancakes or Magpie, 416 Highland Ave, Somerville :: 617.623.3330
