Anyone who's been to our apartment knows about the sad Ikea sofa we got when it was the only thing that would fit in our first shoebox NYC apartment. Now that we have the space, we want to upgrade to something we actually want to have people over to see (and sit on).

We're taking the biggest vacation of our lives to Hawaii - hiking in Kauai, hiking in Maui, and then maybe we'll even stop by a beach or two. With your gifts maybe somewhere in there we'll fit in some fancy Hawaiian meals, a afternoon on a boat, or a spa day or two.

Help us leave the dark ages of grad school Ikea display rooms behind - starting with fancy frames for our art so Ben will stop trying to tape it to the wall.

Sarah's been slowly converting our porch into a bustling little garden. She'd love to invest in some high-quality tools and get a few more seedlings for the fall.

For hot pot at home :)

We'd love this in a blue or purple :)
