Best Bet: Alexander Wang Jump Rope

If you need additional motivation to get in shape this new year, try this gorgeous jump-rope-cum-art-object from Alexander Wang. Its leather cord and brushed-gold handles look and feel like no joke. Use it for a workout, or just drape it casually on top of a pile of coffee-table books to make people just think you use it to work out.

Jump Rope, $135 at Alexander Wang.
