These retro-looking Mibo lamps are too cute. The shades come in five different designs, and I especially like the "clacket lane" pattern with the beige birds and red berries. It certainly brightens up a room. $164.00, Design Public
Rose La Biche Orchid T-Shirt
A friend of mine recently recommended these T-Shirts, and I am officially nuts about them. The embellishments on this one make it feel feminine and organic, something you could dress up or down. I'm also a big fan of the long-sleeved Rose La Biche "Bird" shirt. $69.00, Rose La Biche
Edible Crystallized Flowers
They're almost too pretty to eat, and yet I want to sprinkle these on every dish. These edible flowers are pricey, though, so you will probably want to at least feign some restraint.
$38.00 for a package of 25, Sur La Table
Homedics Massaging Flip-Flops
Where have these been all of my life? Now I can't understand how I settled for slippers that didn't massage my feet as I wore them. One caveat: These need four AA batteries to operate.
$19.99, Macy's
Warhol By Loop Mona Lisa Wallet
This is not a wallet. Oh, wait, yes it is. Sorry. Please forgive my bad modern art humor. This is a pretty fabulous wallet inspired by a couple of Andy Warhol's designs. I especially like that the inner fabric is all shiny metallic silver. $28.00, Urban Outfitters
iKaraoke
Okay, I just about lost it when I came across this. You plug this microphone into your iPod, and it isolates and lowers the volume on the main vocals (allowing you to take your rightful place as lead singer) and sends the song to your stereo using FM radio waves. You can also mute the music and use the iKaraoke to give announcements to the room. "Attention, everyone. Get ready for some hot jams." $49.99, Griffin Technology
Cabino Storage Cabinet
This is pretty cool. It's a mountable cabinet that doubles as picture frame. Isn't it nice to have another place to throw that junk that you probably shouldn't be hanging on to anyway? $85.00, Shopfosters.com
Snow & Graham Cupcakes Gift Wrap
This pretty cupcake wrapping paper is sure to make a special day even more special, but it's probably considered good form to include an actual cupcake with your gift. Man, I so want a cupcake right now.
$2.75 per sheet, Luxe Paperie
Devilled Egg Halter Apron
You know what's sassy? An apron with a halter top. The cut and pattern on this one are so cute. It certainly is an incentive to cook more often. $38.00, Anthropologie
Hard Brocade Clutch
Talk about dressing up an outfit... This shiny clutch, designed by Holly Suan, has a gold scallop pattern that looks very elegant with everything from jeans to a little black dress. $104.00, Girlshop
New Orleans Faux Pearl Charm Bracelet
Heather Elizabeth, a New Orleans resident, makes her jewelry using old photographs of New Orleans and pieces of old love letters. This charm bracelet is decorated with 10 tiny photographs of New Orleans. $59.95, Heather Elizabeth Designs
Amy Jo Gladstone Ginger Slippers
These cute and comfy terry cloth slippers have a hard sole so you can show them off when you go out to get the newspaper in the morning. Better yet, you could probably get away with puttering around the office in a pair of these. $95.00, Amy Jo Gladstone
Marshmallow Shooter
Turns out that guns and marshmallows are a winning combination. Honestly, this little gun, which uses air pressure to launch mini-marshmallows at your enemies, is loads of fun. I especially enjoy munching on the ammo while trying to fire off some rounds into other people's drinks. $22.99, ThinkGeek.com
Yochi Rose Heart Necklace
I like how this necklace combines the sweet white beads with the chunky dark heart and rose pendant. I also like how it goes with nearly everything in my wardrobe. Caution: this necklace is extra chunky. It's much larger than it appears in the photo. $45.00, Max & Chloe
Earth Therapeutics Soft-Soles Gel Booties
These socks only come in lime green, and they're pretty weird. The fabric has kind of a moist feel to it and the inside is coated in a thick layer of green gel. It feels a bit like the stuff they use to make shoe insoles. Wearing them will soothe and soften up your tootsies, especially if you slather on some lotion first. $19.99, Bed Bath & Beyond
