• Perfect Picture Wall

  

  This is a system that helps you group and hang picture frames perfectly with very little hassle. Look over the brief diagram to see exactly how it works. You get ten solid-wood frames with archival mats, mounting squares, hanging hooks, levels, and two wall-hanging templates. You choose the color of the frames and the configuration you prefer. Presto, you’re an interior decorator. Thanks for the tip, Tim!

• Custom Lipstick

  

  You’ve been hoarding a perfect, discontinued shade of lipstick since 1998. You know that musty tube shouldn’t come within a foot of your lips, but you can’t bring yourself to throw it out. Fortunately, you can recreate it. Take a dime-sized scraping, pop it in a plastic baggie, and mail it off to Three Custom. They’ll make a perfect replica and keep your color on file for future orders, they’ll even check their archives for you if you don’t have a sample of the gloss that has you pining. You can also create your own shade by sending in a color sample and indicating whether you want it matte, creamy, glossy, and so on.

  $50 at Three Custom | Buy

  (For the first two tubes, and $15 for each additional.)

• Embroidered Cutwork Silk Pillow

  

  I’m often blown away by how expensive decorative pillows are, but these have so much hand-work involved that it makes sense. The fronts of these pillows are hand-embroidered, then hand-cut to show the contrasting silk beneath. They’re filled with feather and down.

• CurlFriends Replenish Leave-In Conditioner

  

  If your hair is a giant mushroom cloud of dry, distressed frizz, try this goo. Use it to tame the ‘fro, instantly calm flyaway hairs, or twist into your ends to help disguise split ends.
