If You Take Your Home's Vibes And Aesthetic Very Seriously, These 24 Things From Etsy Are Right Up Your Alley
A made-to-order ceramic soap dish that'll hook neatly over the side of your sink with a cleverly placed drainage hole to keep things fresh and slime-free.
A beautiful stained-glass butterfly stake so your plant can have a permanent guest. It hooks onto the side of a planter to create the illusion of a monarch just dropping by for a quick rest.
Or stained glass garland you can hang near a window to treat yourself to a colorful light show when the sun hits. People who love when cool shadows appear on the wall: This one is for you!
A linen couch cover to protect your sofa from The Horrors (cat puke, spilled wine, cookie crumbs) so thoroughly, it'll be like they were never there at all. Minimalist, coastal grandmother lifestyle, here we come.
A funnel planter that not only has a drainage hole (a MUST if you want a healthy plant), but actually incorporates it into the overall look. There's even a cool, orb-like water catcher that's easier to deal with than traditional saucers.
A UFO abduction lamp to add a little Mulder to your otherwise Scully-esque desk. It comes with a color-changing remote so you can pick whatever hue matches the moo-d (sorry).
Under-cabinet containers you can install in areas that were previously considered at capacity. They maximize space under sinks, in pantries, and beneath shelves, meaning you can finally fit even more stuff in your home! The jars are airtight and self-seal when you put them back, so you can store anything from coffee beans to cotton swabs in them.
A book lamp that fits neatly onto your bookshelf so you don't have to worry about mounting, electrical work, or other tiresome chores that aren't cuddling up with a book. The linen-shaded lamp comes with a long, 8-inch cord that you can easily snake through the back of your bookcase.
Or a gothic cathedral book light to give some gravitas to your fantasy or horror collection. It comes with two LED candles that provide a flickering glow perfect for a year-round spooky vibe. The Locked Tomb series would be an incredible choice, NGL.
A bunch of floral-scented grape soap that pretty much blows all other decorative soap out of the water. Handmade by a mother and son with olive oil and natural fragrances, these vegan soaps can be displayed in a bowl or hung anywhere you want some nice, subtle scents.
A 3D-printed, modular Gothic tower plant pole offering a romantic place for your pothos or ivy to climb up. There's a watering tower on top and a column base that fits securely in the planter.
An acrylic dry-erase board that serves as unobtrusive decor until you're ready to break out the markers and start brainstorming what you want for dinner.
A jumbo carrot body pillow in case you wanna inject some serious vitamin A into your home. Snuggle up with this 4-foot-long plush and live out Bugs Bunny's greatest dream.
A crescent bamboo wine holder offering an elegant and kinetic way to store a primo bottle of wine. I strongly recommend finding one with the prettiest label possible so it can double as decor until you're ready to drink it.
A handmade ceramic incense cone burner that looks like a tiny little stove. I've seen some cute burners in my time, but this dollhouse-ready one takes the cake.
Puffy bookends in bright colors to make your bookshelf feel like it came straight from the MoMA gift shop — even if you have more mystery novels than sleek art books.
A cottagecore-y felt desk mat with an embroidered frog design of your choice. Your desk should feel cozy even if your job makes you feel prickly.
A handmade, glass birth month flower — pick up one to represent each member of your friends and family to create the most sentimental bouquet of all time. Assuming not everyone was born in the same month, the collection will look super cute in a vase!
A handmade, laser-engraved butterfly plant stand/side table to elevate your plants or decor to new soaring heights. You can pick the stain of the wood to best match your style.
A cute poster of a handful of pool balls to add a pop of color to your room. The use of negative space really makes this piece special, IMO!
Or an art print featuring a scene from Animal Fashion Week. Having these fashionistas in your home is likely to double the value of your property. ;)
A hand-blocked cotton quilt perfect for when the weather gets too warm for a heavy comforter. The double-sided design means that, in a way, you're kinda getting two blankets for the price of one!
A pack of record dividers for vinyl collectors who need to do a little more organizing. It'll feel like you're record shopping through your own collection and might even help you rediscover old purchases.

12 Gifts to Celebrate Tomato Season
In this edition of The Gift, we're celebrating peak summer with some whimsical tomato gifts. Because why not? Plus: the very best olive oil and what to gift a wiener dog mom. Last year, I found myself soundly defeated by six cherry tomato plants. As a gardening newbie, I'd avoided weightier varieties, thinking they might be harder to prop up. Oh, sweet summer child. By July, my Sungolds and Supersweet 100s had already rapidly outgrown their tall stakes and then seized on the fence behind them in a junglelike thicket. Every few days, they produced so much fruit that I was giving them away in old pho containers to the baristas at my local coffee shop. But even in the midst of that late-season abundance, I still loved catching a whiff of tomato leaves on my hands after pruning the multiplying branches. I know I'm far from alone in finding them irresistible. Just looking at red-orb designs on a bowl or T-shirt can conjure the feeling of dappled summer sun on your forehead, or a languid vacation dinner with fireflies glinting about. In that spirit, here are a few of our favorite knickknacks, clothes, and kitchenstuffs for gifting your favorite tomato-head or anyone you'd just like to treat this summer. For going out, I'm a fan of Staud's iconic beaded bag — the Italian-esque tomato version has a cheeky forkful of spaghetti on the back. This adorable fitted mini linen dress would also be a surefire hit on a sweltering August night. (It's a bit of a double entendre given that 'tomato' is, I recently learned, a synonym for a 'hot number.') And for days at the office, these handy sticky notes, which newsletters editor Haley Jo Lewis calls 'the absolute delight of my desk,' will brighten workday drudgery with a pop of fuchsia. They're a sweet small token to lift a pal out of a 9-5 summertime sadness. Several Wirecutter journalists love this fat heirloom tomato-shaped candle that smells like tomato leaves and, if it was sitting on a farmer's market table, would make you do a double take. Also, these cherry tomato-inspired dinner candles are both regal and eye-catching, and far more of a conversation starter than mere ivory tapers. It'd almost be a shame to actually burn them. For pomodoro decor beyond candles: I love this glass tumbler with an adorable little guy popping up from its center for summer sips on the patio. And this extremely fun throw pillow tossed on a sofa would help anyone beat accusations of a millennial-gray living room. Kids would be overjoyed to get this ridiculously cute plushie. Or for the canines: This hilarious canned tomato-inspired dog toy is squeaky and comes with three small tomato balls inside it. I think either are worth squeezing into what might already be an overstuffed toy collection. Ignacio Mattos, chef-owner of a number of lovely Mediterranean restaurants in New York City, once told me he favors the rich jarred Miracolo di San Gennaro Pomodori from Bronx importer Gustiamo. And our kitchen team also thinks their sundried tomatoes are divine enough to eat straight out of the jar (or sprinkled on pasta). Less on the nose — and quite special — are these hefty, handmade splatterware dinner plates from Puglia. While lacking in round, red imagery, they would contrast beautifully with a tomato salad. As I wrote this newsletter, I found myself pining for my favorite BLT — one made with Japanese milk bread, thick-cut bacon, and fat heirloom slices at peak juiciness. It looks like one tomato in my garden is almost sandwich-ready. I pared it back this year, by the way, to two cherry tomato and two Brandywine plants. I think I've learned my lesson. But ask me again in August. Including a quite cute (and curl-friendly) bucket hat. Your plants deserve to thrive in a confetti resin planter or a glittering disco ball. These exceptionally sharp pruners may be the last set you ever buy. My sister-in-law is especially difficult to shop for, because she doesn't really love anything in particular, except for going out to dinners with friends, hiking, and hanging out with family. She is a career elementary school teacher, married without kids, and has a weenie dog as of five months ago (her first pet ever in her life). — E.S. From gifting expert Hannah Morrill: Going out on a limb here and guessing that your newly minted weenie-loving relative is as weenie-obsessed as my weenie-loving relative. If so, let's start her out with a sweet doggo hair clip that could delight her students, too. If you've got a good picture handy — check your text threads — you could get a pair of custom socks or a pillow made. Wrap it all in Dachshund wrapping paper, and you're set. If you're not ready to go all in on the dog theme, some plush hiking socks are always appreciated, and our favorite Spanish tapas sampler would be lovely for noshing at home before dinner out. Lastly, if you've got the time, rescue memories from the digital graveyard by assembling a photo book of treasured family hangs. (Then schedule an IRL hang, too.) Our present-hunters are here to answer your questions. By completing this form, you agree that we may add your address to our list for the newsletter The Gift. What I Cover I cover a wide range of gift giving, with a specialty in food and drink gifts; I also touch on beauty on occasion. I work to ensure that we consider a diverse range of socio-cultural backgrounds in our guides.

One Sushi Park Trip, Two Pant Changes for Kendall Jenner
It's a long, hot summer, until it's not. And Kendall Jenner has a seasonal wardrobe she wants to make use of. The model was photographed arriving for dinner with friends at the West Hollywood strip mall sushi joint of celebrity choice, Sushi Park. (The spot has welcomed regulars from Selena Gomez to Hailey Bieber multiple times this summer—the $400 Omakase must be that good). On arrival, she wore a black bateau neck sleeveless top and a black sweater tied around her shoulders, white silk straight-leg pants, and black criss-cross open-toed mule sandals. As usual, she added an angular brown shoulder bag from The Row. She kept her hair in her usual middle part, loose and relaxed, with minimal makeup and jewelry save for a dainty gold bracelet. So far, so summer. Photo: Backgrid Later, Jenner was photographed again leaving the restaurant, toting a leftover bottle of wine. She had shed the sweater, but also seemed to have swapped her set of pants in favor of some black capris. Because what's a girl to do when you've more summer trends to tick off than you have nights out on the town? Or when you've dropped a piece of crab roll on your pants. Capris have loomed large this summer—usually worn Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina-esque with a boatneck top or flowing, breezy shirt, little mules or kitten heels that make a failsafe fit that's sleek and elegant, day or night. It's an outfit formula regularly employed by Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber. While the capri length can cause some division, the white pant is unarguably a timeless summer staple. Hitting both in one night? A straight 10. Photo: Backgrid AKGS Photo: Backgrid The Kendall Jenner summer school of style has steadily been banking the season's buzziest trends: Sheer dresses and polka dots on the beach, the Gen-X boot and jean tuck, the 'tomato girl' aesthetic of summer's yore even in the mix. Always, of course, with a piece from The Row: a Marlo tote, the Cecily top-handle, or the cult original Margaux bag—and sometimes, the flip-flop du jour. The days are already getting shorter, the nights chillier, but rest assured Kendall Jenner has all the summer looks on lock she'll make time for.

A macrame fruit hammock so all your produce has a cool place to hang out that's not the usual space-hogging bowl.
