Designed by Paul Loebach, the clever x3 watering can gets its name from the fact that it's crafted from a single metal tube, bent three times to form the handle and pour spout. This handle's oversized square shape means it can be gripped from the top (if the canís full of water) or side (while pouring). A watering can this cool might inspire even the most reluctant gardeners to hydrate their plants more regularly. $98 from Kontextur.
