The weekend is within reach...let these little splurges make getting there more fun.

Donut Mini Wallet, $20. We’ve found the perfect going-out wallet, whether you’re meeting friends for drinks or headed around the corner for a baker’s dozen. Two interior pockets (one of them clear) and an outside pocket hold just the necessities.

Leather Earrings, $16. These handmade, gold and gunmetal leather, leaf-shaped designs are lightweight (so they won't drag down your ears), and the proceeds help fund literacy programs for Muslim women artisans and their children in Northern India.

Wall Prints, $25. Photographer Jen Gotch's high-quality scans of her happy Polaroid shots--flags, grapefruit, flowers, palm trees, shoes--are vivid, archival-looking ways to add some fun to your walls.

Fused Glass Garden Art Stakes, $10. Fade-resistant, handmade garden markers will help identify all the plants in your yard or window box. They’re customizable, too (our picks: fire-engine red for tomatoes and hot pink for French lavender).

The weekend is within reach...let these little splurges make getting there more fun.

Beach Tea Towel, $9. Brooklyn artist Claudia Pearson has illustrated everything from children's books to New Yorker pages. Her new collection of tea towels for West Elm features images of summer picnics, reminding us that Memorial Day Weekend is just 8 weeks away.

Cakeslider Bouquet, $22. When you can’t decide between baking someone a cake or bringing them flowers, try one of these bouquets--each “flower” is a piece of cake in its own little push-up-pop container.

Clip Note Organizer, $12. This massive paper clip is a fun way to keep notes, business cards, photos and receipts from taking over your desk.

Easter is the second most important candy-eating occasion of the year for Americans, who consumed 7 billion pounds of candy in 2011, according to the National Confectioner's Association. But these baked goodies make a strong case for breaking with tradition...at least until all the standard stuff goes on sale April 9.

Instead of marshmallow chicks, try...
Hawthorne & Wren's Donut Muffins. These cinnamon-sugar bombs have the same light, sweet coating as a marshmallow chick or bunny (they also freeze just as well), but are free of the finger-dying neon color. The company sends 20 in a basket lined with a green linen napkin, and is offering free shipping on all Easter orders.

Instead of jelly beans, try...
Magnolia Bakery's Easter Cookie Basket. This beautiful basket delivers the same color punch as bowl full of jelly beans, consisting of miniature meringues in pastel green, pink, blue, lavender, yellow and cream, plus a dozen lemon shortbread cookies, half dipped in chocolate, the other half rimmed in purple sugar.

Instead of a chocolate bunny, try...
Rocq's Sweetheart Macaron Collection. A plastic-wrapped chocolate bunny is nice, but just doesn't have the same "oh la la" factor as a pearly white box filled with 24 Parisian cookies. The package includes four varieties: dark chocolate, raspberry, peach mango and red velvet, and shipping is free.

The weekend is within reach...let these little splurges make getting there more fun.

Terrarium, $26. This little glass dome, filled with a simple moss ball, comes with its own tiny spritz bottle and a label explaining its kingdom and division. It's nerdy and stylish all at the same time...and is probably really hard to kill, which is always a plus.

Shoe Bag, $16 for 3. These striped, zip-top pouches are just the thing for making sure muddy shoes don’t muck up clean underwear in your suitcase.

Letter Pressed Cookie Cutters, $22. Whether your message is simply “Happy Birthday, Mike!” or something a bit more complicated, tell everyone how you feel with cookies. Bonus for type lovers: each letter of the alphabet--plus an ampersand and an exclamation point--is in a different font.

Pink Stripe Masking Tape, $22. We love this sticky tape for fun jobs, like holding together a birthday present wrapped in brown paper, and for everyday ones, like labeling jars.

Tea Light Holder, $22. So smart: A narrow vent down the side of this glass vessel lets you bring a lit match down to the tiny candle’s wick without burning your hand.

Swimming Soap, $12. Sized to fit in your palm and shaped like a fish, this scaly carved soap has notes of fresh citrus, bergamot, lemon, cucumber and watermelon.

Egg Cup, $6. Put your soft-boiled egg, still in its shell, in this modern, arch-like holder, and suddenly breakfast becomes a very hip affair.

Hot Chocolate on a Stick, $10 for 3. Step 1: Pour steamed milk into a mug. Step 2: Stir hot chocolate stick into milk. Step 3: Happiness.

Romanesco Broccoli Seeds, $3.95. No matter what part of the country you live in, you can start planting vegetables indoors now. This broccoli variety, which has beautiful, apple-green whorled heads, has been around since the 16th century.

Pig Cooking Lid, $18. You can place this multipurpose silicone circle over ingredients in a pot to help them cook evenly (it releases steam through the pig’s snout), or use it to grip a hard-to-open lid.

Ticket Stub Diary, $10. Never forget those front row seats at a Bruce Springsteen concert with this booklet that helps you preserve memories from concerts, museums, movies, sporting events, Broadway shows and other outings.

I'll be the first to admit that my closet is out of control (at the present moment it is so packed that the double doors don't fully close). Since I'm often scrambling to put an outfit together half asleep before work, I wind up rotating the same ten items out of sheer desperation (and yes, sheer laziness). As a result, three quarters of what I own goes unworn for months at a time—some pieces never even having the tags cut off.

Here to make sense of the endless abyss of shirts, dresses, skirts, shoes, jeans, and jewelry: Stylitics—a new site that logs what you own (allowing you to manually upload photos of all your items or add things via the web), keeps track of your outfit history and recent purchases, gives you new ideas for what to wear, and even tells you the weather so that you that you know to slip on your rainboots or pack an umbrella. According to Stylitics, the average consumer has over 250 items in their closet, but their calendar function ensures you don't repeat ensembles and helps you plan what to put on day-to-day or for upcoming events—making getting dressed in the morning more foolproof. Plus, you can access your virtual closet anywhere you're able to log on—meaning you can double-check what's hanging up at home before buying yet another black dress.
