We're pretty solid on basic car maintenance. We're also whizzes at using our food processors and getting the router up and running. But when it comes to knowing how to handle a squalling, squirming bundle of mini-human, we are completely and utterly at a loss.... [More]
Advent calendars: they're traditionally an exercise in disappointment. We spend an entire day waiting for one stale, crappy piece of chocolate.

Here's a toy you won't mind your kids leaving lying around: this Lille Huset Chelsea Dollhouse ($60) is gorgeously designed after a classic Logan Square home, and is made with Baltic birch and recycled paperboard. The result is a lovely design piece that will also... [More]
The number of times we could have used one of the items on the KeyTool ($8) is astonishing. With a wire cutter, a bottle opener, and a pair of precision tweezers, we could have been making our lives easier at work, on vacation, and out... [More]
Make the tea parties in your house events to remember by setting up the Child's Menagerie Set ($1,450 for table and four chairs) in the playroom. A giraffe, elephant, gorilla, and rhino all sit cordially around a tree, just waiting for little ones to join... [More]

We do love ourselves a hot fireman every now and then... jam, we mean. This Hot Fireman's Pear Jam ($8) is a pulse-raising blend of Bartlett pear and chipotle pepper with a hint of cinnamon. When we need a fix, we just spread some on... [More]
Kick the habit of buying a new calendar each year. A Letterpressed Perpetual Calendar ($36) will save both money and paper in the long run. The three tabs help you keep up with the days and dates, while the orange octopus will keep you company.... [More]
Turn your otherwise useless pets into modern home decor with this Cat Clouds Cat Shelf ($100). The sleek, contemporary design looks nice when it's unoccupied, but the addition of a lazy house cat makes it simply perfect. Just don't be silly enough to try putting... [More]
Yes, they will get stuck in our teeth for a week. And yes, they're packed with enough calories to take us up a jean size or two. We don't care. These Crack Caramel Crack Pops ($55) are too delectable to resist. It probably helps that... [More]
Pretty much all of our favorite recipes come from Smitten Kitchen, so we are beyond thrilled that The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook ($20) is finally here - and full of delicious recipes and photos so lovely you'll start salivating. We know we'll be putting our copy... [More]

Okay, we know. When you travel, you can just use your phone's alarm to wake up. But that's way less fun than packing the cute Swing Design Harrison Travel Clock ($24). At least, we think so. Does that make us relic collectors? Does anyone else... [More]
City moms buy their kids stuffed versions of exotic woodland creatures they'll never see outside of a zoo. Why shouldn't country parents take the same approach with their offspring? Forest-dwelling children are probably more likely to see a bear than they are the inspiration behind... [More]

Think you've got hippie street cred? Think again, mortal. You can't call yourself truly crunchy until you've salted your own codfish.

This is a known fact: kitties love boxes. Put one on the floor, and when you turn around, there will almost certainly be a cat in it. Why not simply embrace the truth, and turn it to your advantage? This Canadian Cat Cabin ($24) is... [More]
In the middle of a conversation we were having about our favorite subject, food, someone mentioned that Nabisco had recently released limited edition Oreo flavors, including Gingerbread Oreo Cookies ($10+). Wait, what?! We scoured our supermarkets to no avail. And then the Internet told us... [More]

The U.S. Postal Service needs to get with the program. We're utterly in love with the whimsicality of The World's Smallest Post Service ($23), but we don't want to have to stick our miniature missives into normal-sized envelopes to get them to their destination. Talk... [More]
