Summah tote by Swell Made Co
You don’t have to be from Long Island or Boston to smile every time you see this fun, 100% organic cotton tote. I want one for the beach so badly! ($35)
Chalkboard house by Paloma’s Nest
Black and white home decor doesn’t have to mean severe lines and an adult sensibility. We already love the other shapes of chalkboards from Paloma’s Nest, like the giraffe and the elephant, but there’s something so charming about this house-shaped chalkboard. Whether you have kids or not. ($68)
Dry erase refrigerator magnets by The Tullebox
Aren’t these so clever? Just stick them on the fridge and you’ve got a more eco-friendly option than paper. I even like her suggestion to buy a few sets, because 7 means you’ve got a cool way to do a weekly planner. Now if only my fridge would hold a magnet. Dangit. ($9)
Wild World art print by Swell Made Co
One of my favorite Cat Stevens lyrics turns out to be an awesome art print. I love this as a hip shower gift — it’s so perfect for a modern child’s room or nursery, but I could see it nearly anywhere. ($30)

Black striped heart pillow by Two Dots
If your couch or a nursery rocker could use a punch of black and white graphical design, we really like this totally handmade black striped heart pillow. It happens to be completely hand drawn — as are the surprise little colorful polka dots on the back. ($65)
Three-legged cat planter by Beardbangs
We first saw this when we were at the Great.ly booth at the NY Architectural Show and knew we had to add it to our shop immediately. It was created in a collaboration with our friend Danielle Krysta of The Jealous Curator, who saw the artist’s popular handmade stoneware cat mug sand thought, you know, with a few legs, that would be a really cool little planter. And behold, it is! ($62)
