• Sigg Water Bottles

  

  PERFECT PICNIC GUIDE

  I adore this thing. It keeps tap water cool and crisp, reigns in my expensive and destructive plastic water bottle purchases, and helps me keep track of how much water I drink in a day. Also, the bottle opening is little, so I’m not constantly sloshing water all over myself while I’m on the treadmill. It comes in a kazillion colors and designs, but my favorite is the swirly black and white. Go get one.

  If you’re giving bath or body products as gifts, lavender is a classic choice. This lovely set comes in a fair-trade woven grass box.

  It features the basics: body cream, bath salts, and silky, thick shea hand cream that comes in a glass jar. Apparently I am a complete sucker for a glass jar.

• Petite Pattern Book Series

  

  These books give my brain stretch marks. Each one has 140 patterns presented in EPS files for Illustrator and JPEG files. That means you can change the size and color of every pattern to design your own wrapping paper, stationery, recipe cards, whatever. I believe there are eight books in the series, and you’ll want every last one.

• Philosophy Pure Grace Soap and Water Set

  

  My friend Sarah treats herself to this scent set, because she has a thing about soap.

  She says, “I am obsessed with smelling clean. I don’t want to smell like flowers or fruit or any of that teenage stripper bullshit; I want to smell like I just stepped out of the shower, all day long.”

  And thanks to her secret weapon, she does.
