1. Retro Coffee Machine

“I love my Retro Illy Coffee Machine. I chose it for color and its retro appearance and not because of any market research, so it’s a bonus that it’s so easy to use and makes such great coffee. I am not a morning person, so I like having something ‘fun’ to start my day with, as the smell of the first cup fills my apartment my day is officially under way.”

4. X-3 Watering Can

“I am a plant killer, so I figured if I can’t be successful I might as well be stylish while trying, and I really just loved the form of this watering can. It’s a little excessive for the four plants I am trying to sustain but looks great on my shelf in between uses.”

10. Urbanstems

“I love flowers at home, at work, to send to a friend to brighten their day or celebrate an occasion. I discovered Urbanstems a while back and their same-day delivery, beautiful arrangements that have a variety of stems and overall packaging have me addicted to the website and their bouquets.”
