This Sunday is Mother’s Day, an actual holiday (at least as deemed by Hallmark, retailers, florists and restaurants) that reminds you to recognize the mom (or maternal figure) in your life.
And while cards, flowers, brunch, candles, and perfumes are nice, here are some of our suggestions.
Word to your mother.
Molecular Mixology Set – Mojito Mix
What do you get when you combine food, liquor, chemistry, and art? You get to deconstruct your favorite drink, to change the look and feel of ingredients, impress dinner guests, and to take your tastebuds on an adventure—also known as molecular gastronomy!
Try this fresh take on the classic mint-and-rum refresher to take drinks and entertaining to a whole new level. Deconstruct mint leaves into buoyant “caviar” bubbles or a flavor-filled cloud of foam. It’s even possible to encapsulate every ingredient into a sphere that explodes with flavor, introducing your tastebuds to the essence of the cocktail. Give guests a taste of the unexpected with these three easy molecular recipes that bring cutting-edge mixology to your home bar. Includes instructional booklet.
Jump From Paper bags were invented by two women in Taiwan who thought it would be awesome to bring 2D illustrated bags to life. These three bags feature bold outlines, bright and vibrant colors, and will definitely turn heads. In a way, they remind us of those movies when 2D animation was mixed in with live actors… like you hopped into Toontown from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, bought yourself a nice bag, and brought it back to the real world.
These bags are super slim in appearance but can accommodate an iPad/tablet, your current reading project, magazines, and your everyday accessories. If you need a little extra room, a zipper under the bag expands the depth. These bags are made from durable polyester fabric and each has a zipper pocket in the back for easy access to your ID, metro card, or spare change.

“Be Nice, Work Hard, Get Rad.” Screenprinted Poster
From Hannah Nance Partlow! Words to live by! This super-cool inspirational poster would look rad in your office, studio, or workplace. Available in three color variations – please specify when ordering: Black with pale yellow shadow, black with yellow and red shadows, or “ketchup and mustard” (red with yellow shadow).
These posters are printed by hand, so slight variations may occur. That’s what makes screenprints so much cooler than a crappy poster made on a machine, right? Handmade for life, man. ♥
Pen
and paper role playing games are dynamic stories that are propelled by
the active participation of many individuals. You can’t have a strong
storyline without creating characters of some depth. When you create a
character, you generally have their personalities, priorities, and
history in mind, along with a clear vision of what your character looks
and sounds like. But how does she smell? What does the world around her
smell like?
In most pen and paper fantasy RPGs, three of the primary
attributes that you must choose for your character are race, class, and
alignment. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab’s RPG scent series was
designed to emulate the character creation process, and are meant to be
layered in order to create a character concept. In short: you layer your
class, race, and the two fragrances that compose your alignment to
construct your character scent.

VJ: The Unplugged Adventures of MTV’s First Wave
MTV’s original VJs offer a behind-the-scenes oral history of the early years of MTV, 1981 to 1987, when it was exploding, reshaping the culture, and creating “the MTV generation.”
Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, and Martha Quinn (along with the late J. J. Jackson) had front-row seats to a cultural revolution—and the hijinks of music stars like Adam Ant, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, and Duran Duran. Their worlds collided, of course: John Cougar invited Nina to a late-night “party” that proved to be a seduction attempt. Mark partied with David Lee Roth, who offered him cocaine and groupies. Aretha Franklin made chili for Alan. Bob Dylan whisked Martha off to Ireland in his private jet.
But while VJ has plenty of dish—secret romances, nude photographs, incoherent celebrities—it also reveals how four VJs grew up alongside MTV’s devoted viewers and became that generation’s trusted narrators. They tell the story of the ’80s, from the neon-colored drawstring pants to the Reagan administration, and offer a deeper understanding of how MTV changed our culture. Or as the VJs put it: “We’re the reason you have no attention span.”
