My email inbox would get pretty monochromatic were it not for Daily Candy, Ask Fashion Kitty, and the delightfully whimsical illustrations of Caitlin McGauley. And now that Daily Candy has agreed to reveal the identity of their beloved illustrator to the rest of the sweet-toothed world, you can order eye candy straight from the source.

Cute, fun, goofy, retro, up-to-the-minute, oversized, undersized, nostalgic, utterly useless but cannot live without, gross, crafty, environmentally responsible and simply fabulous - that is only the beginning of the online curiosity shop (and now brick-and-mortar Brooklyn darling) that is Fred Flare. And now the wild and crazy guys, Keith and Chris, behind the scenes have recorded their first single, oh-so-aptly named "sparkle pop." You human sparklers are the online equivalent of the Candy Man. Looking forward to more even more ebullience in the coming decade . . . making people smile is no small thing.

Cheers and air kisses, Sir Isaac !

More environmental notables: the reusable water bottle. Jack Johnson praised its virtues in "3 Rs." Reduce, reuse, recycle. It is the mantra of our future, the soundtrack of green. It's playing now in your head, isn't it ?

But we are definitely thinking twice about the bags we carry into AND out of stores of every kind. PLUS, retail giant Target is now giving you a discount for not using their plastic. Our alternatives continue becoming ever more visually and financially appealing. Progress, duly noted.

(Every single pair of them.) Couldn't run without them. But Converse has playfully transformed the blank canvas of simple sneakers, turning them into moving posters of artful self-expression. Using materials from bamboo to sequins to zippers; collaborating with visual artists, John Varvatos, PRODUCT (RED), Woolrich, the sports and entertainment industries; and embracing every possible color of the rainbow, Converse is the sneaker of the people - and the decade - the last one and the next.

The Boston Red Sox have left the curse in the dust, winning not one but two World Series Championships in the past ten years. And Boston Duck Tours, who transported the team via their sunny yellow amphibious vehicles during the triumphant victory parades, continues to be the fastest, coolest and wettest way to see the city. Boston, New England: both still woefully underrated, but that all could change with yet another Sox (or Celtics or Patriots or Bruins) victory in the coming decade. This next in sports . . .

Then, the dream grew closer to our human reality in film. And now, at the dawn of the new decade, we get to physically climb inside the world of Harry Potter. See it now at the Museum of Science, Boston. And, in a few months, take the experience for a faster, more complete spin at Universal Orlando's "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter." Can you even remember a world before the wand ? !

I was perfectly satisfied with the little white buds that were included in the package. Until, that is, I began seeing the alternatives: more sophisticated in-ear phones with in-line microphones, Monster Beats, monster-sized Dr. Dre's, candy-colored Roxy-branded darlings and, superlatively, the fold-em-up-and-take-em-everywhere Pick-ups by WeSC. Headphones: the fashion statement for music lovers of every taste, size and genre.

Which doesn't adequately explain any of our fabulous misadventures growing up. Jon Scieszka (author of "The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales") has a really good excuse: five brothers. Quite generously and with great humor, he shares much of his childhood guts and glory in this novella. Fair warning: this is the kind of material that will make you laugh out loud, involuntarily and repeatedly. Most fun I have ever had while reading this past decade.

I have to love the man who regularly puts my hometown on the map during his weekday weather reports. But Al Roker has greatly exceeded all of my expectations in the last decade, becoming a huge advocate of literacy, lending his voice to the animation of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," and, most recently, co-authoring a comedy-mystery tale of morning television. Up next: his inside take on the Winter Games in Vancouver . . .

Bindi the Jungle Girl (daughter of Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter) has been following in her dad's footsteps since birth. She won me over during a cameo performance on "The Wiggles" but has since garnered her own show on Discovery Kids, promoting wildlife appreciation and environmental awareness. And, along with Beau Bridges, she will soon be coming to a movie theatre near you in "Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove." Only 11 and she's already leading the charge to save the planet and its ever-growing list of endangered species . . . she's the jungle girl to watch.

This past decade was full of fabulous technological innovations (the ever-evolving iPod, the iPhone, netbooks, Macs that run Windows, cellphones that do everything but cook dinner for you). But the one you may never need is the one that most impressed me. SPOT is for those who veer off the well-beaten path, flying by the seat of their pants in the remotest of locations. It is designed to, and already has, saved lives. Way cool.

It's typical to wear something red and something new during Chinese New Year. The color scares away evil spirits and bad fortune.

Tangerines and oranges are usually set in bowls around New Years symbolizing good luck and wealth. There's a linguistic pun in the word "tangerine" because it sounds like "good luck" in Chinese.

I often see these in the Tray of Togetherness. I don't think it has any traditional symbolism, but generally is in hopes of a "sweet" year of fortune.

I found this one as part of an IKEA collection, but the more traditional trays are available in Chinatown shops. Each food is symbolic for various types of good fortune. My mom always put a red envelope (lucky money) in the center.
