Just across the East River and barely popping out from underneath the Williamsburg Bridge is Brooklyn’s Brook Farm General Store.
Modeled on traditional general stores of New York City, the shop is a mix of housewares, hardware and covetable personal accessories. The shelves are filled with modern well-made goods that seem to come from a different era.

I’m not quick to suggest that laundry items are stellar gift ideas. I mean, who wants to reinforce that inevitable chore? But then again, it is inevitable. Perhaps as a gift giver you have the opportunity to help make it more enjoyable.
I’ve been seeing so many great hampers lately that I started to entertain the thought: Can laundry hampers make great gifts?
Perfect Guacamole by Food Network Magazine
I’ve been patiently awaiting and it’s finally here! Happy Guacamole Day! I can’t think of a better mashed up mess of deliciousness to celebrate than this glorious food. A concoction like no other starring the magnificent, the gorgeous, the creamiest of fruits, the Avocado.
Here to help you make someone’s Guacamole Day, I’ve got guac-making tools to speed up the mashing and get to the scooping. You’ll find dishes for chipping and dipping in styles and colors to please them all. I’ll share gifts only a guacamole lover could love and round things out with mouth-watering recipes, including, are you ready? Avocado Pie.
So let’s get guac’ing!
Savory or sweet, on its own or wrapped around a friend, infused in booze or expressed with art; it’s bacon, and it’s the best thing ever! I honor bacon at least once a week, but I’ll take any excuse to commemorate its amazingness more frequently. Well, we’re in luck, because tomorrow is Bacon Day! While you’re out celebrating the gateway meat this weekend, think about bringing some of these tasty treats with you, since there’s nothing worse than forgetting to BYOB on September 3rd!
Bacon really brightens up a room, so you’re going to want to get your hands on a few of these sizzling items. Start with a toast to bacon mania from this etched pint glass while savoring the scent of a bacon candle (made with real bacon fat). Don’t forget to keep things cozy with a decorative pillow or two, but be careful, guest envy will likely ensue!
We all know sharing is caring, so send a greeting card to a pork enthusiast, or read a salty love story with your sweetheart. Perhaps you know a wall that needs a piece of awesome art…there’s no need to be shy, say it loud and proud with me, “I LOVE BACON!”

Dorm life is a far cry from living at home, so any little comforts that can make the place feel more like you instead of the other forty people on your floor are important. First up, this chalkboard decal by Blackfin Graphics for the door to your room. Everyone has a dry erase board, take it up a notch and maybe make a few new friends in the process. Communication is key and who can resist stopping to write a hello on this?
