a floral mug.

I rarely gravitate toward florals, but this charcoal palette seems to toughen up those sweet blooms in the best way possible. Bonus? The hidden message inside says “a modestly marvellous mug.” How could I resist? (£10) LINK: LISA STICKLEY LONDON

a porcelain lantern.

I completely need a lamp that looks like a lantern but isn’t. Because it’s a lamp. Did you catch that? ($44) LINK: HOUSE 8810

an adorable cutting board.

This sweet cutting board was on display at the 2011 International Home+Housewares Show and I just can’t get enough of it! File folders are some of my favorite things, and could this cutie be any more functional for the gourmet chef in your life? Genius! LINK: JOSEPH JOSEPH

the perfect striped quilt.

Although I’ll never spend $1,000 on a quilt, this Fred Shand design really is a work of art. Bonus? There are lighter versions all over the place. LINK: ANTHROPOLOGIE via: SIMPLY GROVE

the best dopp kit ever.

Fresh from Karen’s spring line, this Turkish weave-inspired Dopp kit (or cosmetic bag if you fancy!) wins serious awards in my book. (p.s. Dear Lipstick: If you stain this one, we will no longer be in cahoots. Deal?) LINK: HAMMOCKS & HIGH TEA
