If you haven’t seen them yet, there’s an April Fool’s Day Guide up over at Mighty Junior, and a Perfect Picnic Guide on Mighty Goods. If it’s still snowing where you are, I offer my condolences. Crank the heat, pull on a sun dress, and spread your picnic blanket in your living room.

Sculpture pencils by Agelio Batle, the acorn and olive branch are my favorites.

Easter Basket Guide
This isn’t Hank’s first Easter, but it will be his first basket, because apparently jelly beans are exactly the size of an infant’s windpipe, and seemingly difficult to gum. Who knew? Also, people who assemble Easter baskets for one-month-olds should be taking care of all of our babies while the rest of us dance naked and howl at the moon. I haven’t had nearly enough time for that lately.
Anyway, I’m pretty excited about basket-gathering activities, so I’ve been having fun scouting. Here’s what the mighty team has come across so far on Mighty Goods and Mighty Junior:
Easter Baskets for Grown Ups

Easter Baskets for Babies
Let us know what you think. And don’t forget the Peeps.
Unique Host gifts at Mighty Goods
So last week we did the classic gifts, and this week there are some more unique host gifts. Just in case your friends are more into Mr. Bubble and Lemon Heads than thrice milled lavender hand soap and caramels with sea salt.
Host Gifts
After the 400th gifted bottle of wine, I was trolling the Mighty Goods archives looking for good, classic host gifts to restock our gift closet. I figured you might be interested in the results, so I pulled together a Classic Host Gifts guide. Next week, I’ll gather up the more unique, offbeat picks.
And while we’re on the subject, Girl Scout Cookies make awesome host gifts, but they’re tough to come by online. So find a scout and secure your thin mints while they’re in season!
Mighty Finds
When Melissa and I took our road trip to Portland, we did some shopping at local antique and thrift shops along the way. Oregon, as it turns out, loves brown pottery. Anyway, we found a bunch of amazing stuff, and the first few items are up at our the Mighty Goods Store. Go have a look.
Portland with Melissa

Melissa and I went thrifting together in Portland before the rest of our girlfriends hit San Francisco. We stayed at the Ace, which was perfect in every way. In addition to touching the elevator button with my nose, I also licked everything on the premises. It tasted like fixies and vegan donuts.
Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
The Mighty Goods Valentine’s Day Gift Guide is up! Go have a look.
Love Notes
I just finished the Mighty Goods Valentines Roundup, and I’m still marveling at how much cooler Valentines are now that Etsy is in the world.
Subliminal Marketing
The MoMA Store is wondering if you might be interested in a sweet little
Muff Doll? Or perhaps a good old-fashioned game of Snatch? Unfortunately, the Choochie Jump Ropes are sold out. Bummer.
