I was so happy when Orla Kiely brought back the stem print and delighted it with fresh spring colors. This is my favorite bag of the year and it makes me smile every time I wear it (which is pretty much every day).

Knowing the gourmet coffee obsession, my mom got us this french press set. It's great on the weekends when we don't need to make a huge pot to go.

Elka 2 print by Michelle Armas

Description

My dad gave me this print by Michelle Armas which I couldn't wait to hang on my wall. I love how it was inspired: "I am considering what it was like to discover bacteria and germs for the first time, and what it must have felt like to imagine them." As a scientist turned designer, I feel like I really relate to this sense of imagination.

LUSH Lemony Flutter Butter

Description

My thoughtful little sister got me a tub of Lush's Lemony Flutter butter which I use on my feet to battle the Spring/Summer sandal syndrome. It smells amazingly lemony and really makes everything feel super smooth. It's apparently great for any dry skin areas: elbows, knees, heels, cuticles and all.

Swarovski Annual Crystal Snowflake Ornaments

Description

Each year my grandmother, who is a huge Swarovski fan, gives me an annual Swarovski snowflake ornament. I can barely handle the decadence, but they do sparkle quite prettily on the tree.

Marimekko Kaiku Serving Tray

First to recommend

Description

My amazing SIL got me this tray for Christmas and I just love it! I have it in the center of my kitchen table where it works to catch mail and other things that tend to clutter. The pattern/colors work perfectly with my pear green walls and accessories as well as reflects what you can view from the kitchen bay windows.

Polaroid Instant Camera

15 people recommended this item

Description

Half my life wouldn't be captured in pictures if I didn't have my trusty polaroid around. Yes, the film is a bit pricey, but it's so worth it. Beyond the fact that polaroids take the coolest pictures ever, there is the thrill of the instant gratification. Plus, Polaroid cameras are the perfect ice breaker at any party or family function, kids LOVE them and they make amazing, inexpensive and much appreciated gifts. (Mine was a wedding present. LOVE!)
