1. Rings and other fetching things

At the monthly Art & Flea vendors’ gathering, I ran across these charming "Aloha" rings from Shanda’s Hawaiian Designs. At $15 they’re suitable for gifts, and you can’t argue with the sentiment. Shanda also makes earrings and necklaces with island flair, many including shells or charms. See more at facebook.com/ShandasHawaiianDesigns or etsy.com/shop/shandahawaiiandesign.

2. New magazine sells culture, style

The debut issue of Abstract magazine immediately captures the eye with its stylish, neon-green, embossed cover. Calling itself "a new lifestyle and culture magazine for Hono­lulu," the quarterly is the successor to editor James Charisma’s 808 Scene Zine. Abstract’s polished look is thanks to Inkubator, a print and design studio housed in the HonBlue information management facility in Iwilei. With Chinatown’s First Friday as its inaugural theme, the publication boasts imaginative layouts and solid writing on the history of the area, the origins of the popular monthly event and challenges of small businesses operating in the sometimes sketchy area. Find free copies of Abstract at Bar35, the ARTS at Marks Garage, bambuTwo, Brasserie du Vin, Glazers Coffee Shop, the Hono­lulu Museum of Art School at Linekona, CoffeeTalk, Whole Foods Kahala and Morning Brew Cafe.  www.facebook.com/abstracthawaii.

3. Get your dose of grisly on NBC

You might not have the stomach for a prime-time series about a serial killer, but if you try NBC’s "Hannibal" at 9 p.m. Thursdays, you’ll discover the most interesting "bromance" on television, between evil forensic psychologist/cannibal Hannibal Lecter and FBI special agent Will Graham. The casting for the Thomas Harris characters is perfect: Lecter is played with deadpan menace by Mads Mikkelsen, the Danish actor you might best remember from "Casino Royale," and Graham — who is every bit as weird as Lecter — comes to life in British actor Hugh Dancy. The series, launched in April, takes place well before Lecter’s vile lifestyle lands him in prison, and their exchanges are always tense because we know the endgame. The season ends June 20, and NBC will soon announce whether "Hannibal" continues next season or is served with a side order of fava beans and a nice Chianti. In the meantime, catch up on past episodes at www.nbc.com/hannibal/ or Oceanic Time-Warner’s Primetime on Demand.
