__Mason Jar Sewing Kit, $40; Full linen apron with embroidery, $60__ This Martha-approved mending kit is almost too pretty to use. We also love the bibbed apron in sturdy natural linen embroidered with our favorite declarative, and a set of tools: paint brush, shovel, hammer and wooden spoon.

03alai
__Laser-cut leather Alaïa iPad case, $990.__ For some geek moms, clutching an iPad is as close as they'll ever get to carrying a purse. Enclose it in one of these laser-cut knockouts. Sticker shock? Just think of how much you're saving by not buying the [purse](http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/183086).

__A Map of the Open Country of a Woman's Heart by D.W. Kellogg & Co., $60__ Jen Bekman, founder of the art-for-everyone gallery and shop [20x200](http://www.20x200.com) tracked down this topographical treasure at the American Antiquarian Society.

Kellogg & Co., sometime between 1833 and 1842 in Hartford, Connecticut. Purchase benefits the site's Artists’ Fund. 14"x11" print comes unframed or framed, available at [20x200](http://www.20x200.com/artworks/4040-dw-kellogg-co-a-map-of-the-open) *Photos: Courtesy 20x200*
