If you love chess, you have to stop right here and take a look at this chess set by Steve Vigar Designs. Even if you don't like chess, you will certainly appreciate the beauty of this set. San Francisco, Chicago, and New York are the cities represented here. The pieces break out of their traditional forms and are turned into skylines and residential architectural styles crafted from exotic woods like solid zebra wood and whangee. You can pick whether you want light or dark woods. These are put together by hand and laser cut. Also, they are open to customization. The set looks exquisite. It will set you back by about $2,100. It's available at onthefly.com.I can't think of a better gift for a chess lover.
