Silverplate Oval Basket
New to the Mighty Goods Store

Old School Roller Rink Skate
New to the Mighty Goods store:
Oh, man. You can almost hear Madonna singing “Lucky Star.” A single nostalgic roller skate, size 7, that lived a long happy life as a rental skate at the local roller rink.
While we think it would look best in a glass case, lit by a tiny disco ball, your skate would also make an excellent doorstop or bookend. Pop an empty glass into the ankle, and it’s perfect for flowers, or storing pens on your desk.

Poco Dolce Bittersweet Tiles
Friends of ours included these in hotel baskets for members of their wedding party, and they’re one of those perfect things. The packaging is impeccable, each “tile” is just the right amount of chocolate, and the crunchy sea salt sprinkled on top brings out the savory notes in the burnt caramel. I wish I had one right now.
