3 Jonathan Adler Muse monumental scented candle, $295
“Full disclosure: Jonathan Adler is my husband, but even if he wasn’t, I would be a huge fan of his work, especially this oversized candle. Here’s a tip—when the wax is gone, use the vessel as a cache-pot for a bedside orchid.”
4 Laura Zindel ceramic butterfly dinnerware, from $42 (espresso cup and saucer) to $165 (pitcher)
“It’s the perfect dinnerware for the Obama era. The groovy butterflies are a symbol of transformation and change.”
5 Billie Beads porcelain piggy bank, $350
“In these uncertain economic times, a piggy bank can be very comforting. However, if you can shell out $350 for this handcrafted piece, then your financial distress is probably more imagined than real. Therefore, when piggy is full, take his contents and give it to the homeless man who lives on your block.”
