Technically this Geometric Rolling Pin ($15 on sale) is for clay or fondant, but who's to say we can't roll out our cookies with this? We think shortbread with a cool geometric pattern would add a little extra oomph to our gift baskets.... [More]

Fossil Colette Sewing Kit
Sew cute! Sew practical! Sew sorry about the puns, we wanted you in stitches. Ok, seriously, we're just excited about the Colette Sewing Kit ($35) because it's way sassier and much more useful than the crappy paper envelope full of needles and oddly colored thread... [More]

Valentine Vintage Style Pillow Candy/Treasure Boxes
