Canon has perfected its dark, dramatic interior—including a bathroom cozier than my own home’s—that will enhance the mood of any special occasion, from secret meetings to romantic anniversaries. For the latter, Canon’s encyclopedic liquor library means you’ll probably be able to find a spirit aged as long as you and your significant other have been together. For your wallet’s sake, hope it’s one of your first anniversaries.
