1) Our love of Star Wars goes beyond the movie. We’ll take it in the kitchen, too, in a villainous cookie jar. Daffodil says: “Is it wrong that I kind of want one for an objet d’art?”

2) The Zip-It is reader-approved for unclogging problem drains. JulieKP says: “I love the Zip-It. It was an impulse purchase only because I was tired of putting chemicals down my drain. I figured for three bucks how wrong could I go. Now my two Rapunzels in training can brush and dry their long hair over the sink without me yelling for them to put a towel in it.”

3) We love Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and Room & Board for couch replacements. Where else should Sarah L. look?

4) Anthropologie’s done it again in the cute kitchen accessories department, this time with these Milk Bottle Measuring Cups. Claire says: “How cute! Anthropologie has the best stuff — where in the world can you find the cutest measuring utensils but here?!”

5) The recent crisis in Japan has us all thinking about preparedness. We’re updating our home emergency kits. What’s in yours?
