These dishes come in packs of a service for 6 that consists of a dinner plate, salad plate, and soup bowl for $20. They are microwave safe, dishwasher safe, and are to food what your favorite black dress is to your closet. They just make anything you put on them look so appetizing and feel so wonderfully solid. An instant upgrade to your most basic supper, and pop them right in the dishwasher. Also worth noting, they’re almost always in stock in stores.

This linen and room spray is a recent purchase which I am enjoying immensely. The sandalwood rose scent is a very soft nondescript scent and wafts so gently from bed linens when getting into bed at night. The amber glass bottle is beautiful and I’m happy to leave it out on the nightstand. I’ve used this spray as a bribe to get kids into bed.

This last item is definitely more high end than the previous ones and not an off the cuff purchase, but it had to be included. To me, a neutral colored classic fringed throw in a wool/cashmere blend is essential to all couch dwellers in the winter. We dry clean this every year at the end and beginning of the winter, and then all family members from ages 2-34 proceed to fight over this. Cotton and acrylic just do not cut it, especially when we’re talking about well insulated development homes….And please please feel free to put this beige throw on your grey couch! No matchy matchy please.
