1) Fresh, local veggies delivered to your door are a “do” for most of you. Says Jess: “We LOVE it. We’re allowed to swap out up to six items we don’t want (we’re not too big on beets and collard greens), and we can put our box on hold if we’re going to be out of town — all online, too, so it’s super convenient. We end up saving soooo much money on produce, and get some of the freshest, most wonderfully tasty produce around. I’ll never go back to grocery store veggies!” Learn more about CSA here.

2) You found a closet system that will make the most of your space. More than one person mentioned elfa by The Container Store as a help for small closets. Jacki says: “We have tiny and goofy shaped closets and they helped us get at least three times as much stuff in our closets. Elfa is so flexible and you can always switch shelves, drawers, rods out if your situation changes. A great investment!” See all the small closet suggestions here.

3) You love your grilled cheese. The Big Apple Grilled Cheese inspired you to share your own favorite variations. Shannon says: “I saute thinly sliced apples with diced onions and some cinnamon and allspice, and cook up some spicy Italian sausages. It all then gets grilled in a sandwich with provolone – so good!” Learn how to make grilled cheese even better here.

4) People who work on comic books want the comic book shelves, too. Ren says: “aaaaah! i am a comic book letterer and i really love these. i can’t find out how to buy them either but if you figure it out, please post to let me know!” Do you know where to buy the comic book shelves?

5) Sometimes the best fire pits are homemade. Megan wants a modern fire pit, but Llyra suggests: “You could do what we did — dig a hole in the yard and line it with rocks. ” Actually, Mary T. did just that at her previous home. Works great, as long as it’s legal where you live!

Here’s a cool little thing we thought we’d share. Visit Hallmark online and you can design your own Hallmark Mother’s Day card — a real paper card — that the company will then send to your mom for free. You can edit some or all of the sentiment and even add your own photo. That’s pretty cool, we think! Click here. (Looks like it lasts longer than we were first told, so we’ve amended the post accordingly.)

Every spring, I start seeing flyers in the local coffee shops advertising CSA memberships — “organic produce delivered weekly” — and I’m always a bit intrigued. CSA is short for “community supported agriculture.” A CSA member “joins” a farm for an entire growing season, paying the farmer directly for the produce received, eliminating the middle man, and keeping prices for organic foods affordable. Each member receives a box chock-full of varied fruits and vegetables weekly for the entire harvest season, usually June-October. As a bit of a control freak, I really like being in charge of what produce I buy and consume, so I haven’t taken the plunge. But this year finds me busier and busier, and the idea of getting a huge box full of organic produce for as low as $25 a week (at the CSA I’m considering) is incredibly tempting. Anyone tried it? You can find information on CSA in your neck of the woods at www.localharvest.org. –Megan B.

At brunch last weekend at a hip NYC restaurant, I made a wonderful discovery. I was lusting after the super cool stainless steel coffee mugs that littered the tables and flipped one over to find out it was from Coleman! The camping gear company sells the Double Wall Mountain Mug that I so love (even the handle is a perfect size). Next time you’re looking for design-worthy dinnerware, be sure to search your local camping store! –Erica P.
