• PeaceKeeper

  

  For the violent girl who needs someplace to put her lipstick. Due to certain legal restrictions that prevent the company from shipping weapons over state lines, the vinyl PeaceKeeper purse now comes with a soft, “medical grade” polyurethane handle. Of course, you can always replace it with the real thing once yours arrives. So much more intimidating than brandishing your keys as you walk through the parking garage at night.

• Pink and Brown Down Throw

  

  A few weeks ago, I go a note from Jay Arnold gushing about these down throws from Target. He called them a “steal” and noted that they’re super soft and warm. They come in several colors, the cover is made of a polyester micro-fiber, and the fill is 75 percent duck down and 25 percent fiber. Also, (and you know I’m a sucker for this), you can throw them in the washing machine.

• The Next 1,000 Years Calendar

  

  Nikki McClure’s annual calendar is out! We’ve listed her work before, so her quirky paper-cut designs may look familiar. Why buy yet another ugly “quote of the day” calendar for your office, when you could treat yourself to something this lovely?

• Round Cannisters

  

  BY REQUEST A while ago, one of you sent a note saying that you were looking for something like the vintage food-storage canisters with labels for flour, sugar, and so on. However, you wanted a modern version. I saw these, and thought of you, though now I can’t find your email anywhere. Anyway, these cannisters let you write your own labels on them in dry-erase marker, so you can change them to suit your needs. They’re earthenware and airtight. Comes with the pen.
