Summer is finally here! And now, with Memorial Day behind us, it’s high time to start celebrating grads and dads! Here’s our fave picks that work for either type of giftee in your life.

-ConGRADulate your grad with a colorful card from our new line – Eyedore! These paper eye candies feature brightly painted washes printed on watercolor paper and topped off with rainbow foil. Perhaps you’ll find something perfect not-Sent-from-the-iPhone for Father’s Day as well?
-An elegant pen is handy for doing those crossword puzzles AND signing beautiful cards. Can’t go wrong with a classic like Mont Blanc Meisterstuck Le Grand.
-Wearable tech is all the rage, and it’s no wonder, since having a more complete workout picture behoves everyone – from graduate to grandparent. Now you can track your calories, distance, duration, pace and split time with the comfortable Under Armor Speedform Gemini 2. The best part? You can leave you phone back at home.
-A good messenger bag is a must for a job seeker AND a busy father. Sons of Trade makes a killer light-weight lined-felt version that we covet for its military vibe that compliments many an ensemble.
-Finally, is there anyone who doesn’t enjoy a tasty treat? For dads and grads that like it hot (you know the type) Mouth offers A Hot Stuff Taster that’s not for the faint of tongue.

Easter is Happening! How do we know? Yesterday was the vernal equinox which is seen by nature lovers as the first day of Spring – it’s finally official, people. As the weather warms and the days grow longer, lovely signs of the new season abound – petals are dropping (even the desert is in bloom), pastels are popping (on the fashion runways and beyond), Easter greetings are flying, and last and not least…our very own Masha’s husband (and frequent collaborator) is about to hit the small screen as Jesus in the Canadian miniseries, ‘Daughters of Eve‘ on Sunday (those not in Canada can watch live online at Yes TV). Easter is Happening indeed! Enjoy our collage of seasonal faves this year including a preview of the future – a page from 2017 Masha calendar.

Looking for gift ideas for your valentine (or for yourself)? An ideal Valentine’s Day present must check a few boxes: Like on any holiday, it needs to be thoughtful and heartfelt; it also needs to align with whatever relationship stage you and your giftee are at; and it has to have that special touch of romance. But above all, it’s the unexpectedness that truly makes a gift stand out. Check out some of our Love Day picks below.

1. Pamper those sexy lips with little sweets that provide protection from the sun. TONYMOLY Mini Lip Balm SPF 15.

2. Forget the heart-shaped box of ordinary chocolate; Care for the health and tastebuds of your beloved with these eatingEvolved coconut butter cups that miraculously have only five ingredients — coconut, cacao, cacao butter, coconut sugar, and Himalayan sea salt — and have to be tasted to be believed.

3. If love is a journey to self-knowledge, here’s something fascinatingly intimate. 23andMe offers an easy at home test kit to decode one’s traits and ancestry. That is if your giftee is into that kind of thing.

4. Adopt an adorable plant even those without a green thumb can maintain.

5. A Driftwood docking station brings an elegant woodland touch to the indoor life. We think that nature and romance always go together.

6. How about something spicy to touch your love’s lips over and over? Our Hot Stuff mug can be ordered on any charged device from society6.com.

7. If you love writing more than texts, consider our LoveLand puzzle cards. You can spread your message over 8 love letters that complete a fairyland scene – how romantic is that?

As we approach the holiday season, we reflect upon all things warm, cozy and awesome. Besides being eternally thankful for family and great friends, we’re especially grateful this year for the opportunity to travel for work, leisure and endless inspiration! It seems doubly poignant to wander as the world is rapidly changing, and not always for the best. On the bright side, here’s a curated list of some color-saturated gifts we found while traversing the globe. Before perusing the goodies below, have you downloaded the Story Corps app? You can help make history by interviewing an elder this Thanksgiving and submitting it directly to their world archive – learn more here: https://storycorps.me. Sounds super cool to us.

1. Classic holiday knit – check, cozy hood with colorful pompoms – check, ruddy cheeks and glistening lashes – check! Tie it all up with a winter scarf and you have a holiday reveler as pretty as a picture. Christmas Hood depicts a universal moment of delight and child-like wonder while beholding an extra gorgeous snowflake.
2. Our plucky little black bird of the 12 Months Series is back! This time he’s traveling through a breathtaking mountainous winter-scape, alive with color and festive atmosphere. Christmas Mountain Bird expresses the spirit of the season while gliding toward his holiday destination snug and toasty.

3. Ever notice how lovely ballerinas and their tutus resemble snowflakes when viewed from overhead? We did! Delight your recipient with Ballerina Snowflakes which expresses the majesty of the season in the danciest of ways. Inspired by Degas and winter and photographed with danced-in slippers of our favorite prima from Zagreb, Edina Pličanić.

4. Evoke a beautiful scene of a holiday home, windows ablaze with cozy lights, and a multi-colored christmas tree magically rising through the snowy chimney like effervescent fireworks! Delight your recipient with Smoke Christmas Tree in a new, imaginative way.

Summer is upon us–and that means warm days, celebrating dads and the solstice moon. In the Northern Hemisphere, the first day of summer is marked by the Summer Solstice, or when the earth’s northern hemisphere tilts closest to the sun. It is also the longest day of the year, and falls on June 21st, which also happens to be Father’s Day! So, mark your calendars, and grab some chilled beer and something to grill, cause it’s gonna be a long one.

Also, don’t forget to pick up a card for dad while there’s still time or take a stay-cation with one of Masha’s watercolor summer dreamscapes. Speaking of Summer Solstice, some nature-lovers and naturalists feel one with the Earth on solstice days, and wouldn’t it be sweet to receive a note from you as well? We picked a few of our favorite outdoor-inspired delights for the tree-hugger in your life. Check them out below:
