NOSTALGIA WATCH

Tetris fans, it's time to monitor your blood pressure. That's right, your eyes don't deceive -- that's the new Tetris timepiece from Modify Watches, an homage to one of the most beloved video games of all time, and a must-wear for anyone who likes to check the time old-school (short of a sun dial, that is). The watch comes in 30 colorful straps (turquoise, hot pink and neon yellow are our top picks), $55; at modifywatches.com.

WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED, FOOTBALL FANS

Now that football season is back in play, and fans are headed to the stadiums, you're gonna need some protection from the elements. SpiritRaps (by the makers of those ultralightweight Rainraps) are just the ticket -- packable rain ponchos in team colors, whether you're cheering on Connetquot High (red and white) or the Giants (blue and red); from $48. Sorry, Jets fans -- no green and white just yet. Look for the line at Sidana's in Plainview, Sox World Plus in Cedarhurst, Pampered Professional in Hewlett and rainraps.com.
