Everything on this home design site is 20% off until 11:59 p.m. tomorrow, so hop to it. I think these baskets are nice and graphic and very sturdy-looking.

An alpaca throw that could bring some much-needed excitement to my sofa situation.

I always just serve cheese on a regular old plate when I have company, but one of these cheese stones would be so much more elegant.

A lovely embroidered duvet cover.

I don’t know why this wicker tray appeals; I think I want to be the type of person who entertains more, and owning items like trays would maybe facilitate that.

Likewise: candlesticks.

I’m in the market for a couple of table lamps, and this one is so cool and beachy-looking.

“I just adopted a dog and would like more pet picks!” writes a reader named Susanna. “Open to any, including products you didn’t think you needed but discovered you did, especially in terms of pet grooming and “beauty.” Also anything that helps you keep your apartment from being ruined by dogs’ indiscretions.” I like the brand Wagwear for a lot of my doggie essentials, and am especially fond of their strong, bright collars (here are the matching leashes).

Unless I’m mistaken, tea towel is just a fancy way to say dish towel, but it sounds vaguely better, and items that refer to themselves as tea towels tend to be that much cooler than items that refer to themselves as dish towels. For instance, excellent prints abound; the kaleidoscope effect here is cool.

And I dig the shibori situation here (and I know I need to come up with an alternative to dig, which I wildly overuse; give me a little bit to come up with another option).

This set of three is bright and fun and retroish, and they have a little matchy-clashy thing going on that I like.

This one is made of Japanese linen, and it’s almost too pretty for the kitchen; I sort of wish it came in a throw.

These have an appealingly boho feel.

What can I say? Occasionally I am a sucker for Orla Kiely.

This is just so damned cheery, and kind of reminds me of old Vera Neumann prints.

And I love the fadeout effect here.

This striped number would work in just about any kitchen.

Coral & Tusk has so many excellent embroidered tea towels (not so cheap, but so, so good) and I think my favorite is this one with two tigers and a palm tree.

This looks like it could have been unearthed at a Mexican street market.
