• Candela

  

  I know you’ve seen these babies everywhere, but a friend of mine mentioned that they’re terrific for homes with kiddos. All the romance of candlelight, none of the open flame. Good point. They turn on when you lift them from the charging base, and last for about for five hours. They also turn on instantly during a power failure.

  If you prefer the look of votives, they make those too.

• Knock-Down/Drag-Out Table

  

  Get rid of the milk crates, already. The designs at Material Furniture are made with easy transport in mind. If you’re the type who doesn’t care to put down roots, order a dining table (or bench, or living room set, or bed) that breaks down to store or ship flat. Furniture for nomads.

• Betty Vase

  

  It sure would be nice for your mother to own a vase that didn’t come with an FTD arrangement. These are handblown in milky white, painted pink, then enclosed in clear glass to add depth and shine. She can fill them with flowers, or just leave them on the shelf.
