Yes, the weekend forecast here may call for temperatures in the 80s, but the arrival of fall and football season means you soon may be longing for bowls of chili or chowder while watching the Trojans or Bruins. Lucky for you, AplusRstore.com has some fine modern tabletop pieces on sale.

Grab some slick black Danish Thermo bowls, above left, made of an insulated glazed porcelain and equipped with matching spoon and chopsticks. Each has been reduced 50% to $40. White has already sold out, and the store reports that quantities of the black are limited.

The Royal VKB bowl, above right, is designed so the accompanying spoon fits into the handle, making it easy to eat standing up or, ahem, channel-surf while eating. Nonsports fans, you can use them for gazpacho or ice cream. Available in four colors, they’re sold as a set of two, now $35, a savings of about 20%, and available in multiple colors. Bonus: A+R provides free shipping for any order of $100 or more.
