I Prescribe: Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking

For: The “Want-to-be” Bakers

Prescriber’s Notes: Bread machines are great for those who lack in the baking department and produce fool-proof bread (most of the time). Those handy inventions will not however, satisfy cravings for delicious artisan-style breads, crusty baguettes and buttery pastries, which of course, is where this book comes in.

With only 5 minutes of active prep time (and no kneading) you will be able to create those very loaves you deemed ‘impossible’.

I Prescribe: Knock Knock’s Apology Memo Pad

For: Irrational behavior, PMS and spats with spouses.

Prescriber’s Notes: We’ve all been there and said things we shouldn’t. The eye rolls, the sarcasm, the snappy remarks. And sometimes? You don’t even know why. Fill in a form, check off your infraction whether it be behavior, words, action or inaction and then choose from a list of reasons for your behavior.

Our recommendation is that you clearly check off the I WILL NOT do it again box as opposed to the I WILL or side effects could prove to be dissatisfactory.

I Prescribe: Resin Pill Bangle

For: Dealing with deadlines, deadbeats, drunks and mother in laws. In other words – headaches

Prescriber’s Notes: There’s probably a specific pill for that, but why press your luck? You need relief and you need it now. Pop em all. All on your wrist. Fashion win!

I Prescribe: Gift Couture Cheeseburger Wrapping Paper

For: Late night drive through longings

Prescriber’s Notes: You’ve finally lost that last ten or twenty pounds. Don’t give in to the cravings. Buy yourself some nice new clothes and wrap them up to look like a cheeseburger. They say nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. This paper looks as good as the real thing. Lots more fiber though!

I Prescribe: Palladium Boots

For: Wanderlust, Shoe lust, connecting with your youth

Prescribers Notes: Remember when the world was your oyster? When you could fit everything you needed into a pack, sling it on your back and stomp off towards your destiny? You only needed one pair of shoes. Those shoes could take you from the dance floor to the mountaintop to the beach and beyond. These are those shoes.  Put em on. Go.

I Prescribe: What Happened Last Night? Bandages

For: People with two left feet.

Prescriber’s Notes: You and I both know what really happened, but why not save yourself from the ongoing explanations with everyone else and let the bandages do the talking. Besides, you need these, no really – you do!

I Prescribe: Geodesic Terrarium 

For: Lazy gardeners, those short on time or apartment dwellers who don’t have room for a garden and want a little more green in their life.

Prescriber’s Notes: Not everyone has the space (or time for that matter) to tend to a full-size garden and when you live in a tiny apartment in the city, well,  it gets even tougher. This is just one of the reasons why we recommend a Terrarium as the ultimate ‘lazy garden’ for people who just can’t for whatever reason have the real thing. Repurposed from an antique chandelier, this Geodesic version is as beautiful as it is functional.

I Prescribe: The Umbra Handisleeve Cup Holder

For: Guilt riddance.

Prescriber’s Notes: Maybe you done a bad bad thing. Maybe you drive a Hummer. Or perhaps you didn’t send your Grandma a birthday card. But when it comes to scalding yourself on your morning coffee with a disposable coffee cuff, you draw the line. No more waste. Plus the handle is handy.

I Prescribe: Jonathan Adler Needlepoint Pillows

For: Undefined social malaise.

Prescriber’s notes: Slap a label on your discontent. Own it! Spank it! Feeling underpaid? Tell the world you don’t get out of bed for less than 10k! Prefer hugs to drugs? There’s a pillow for that. There’s also a pillow for pills. Warning: these could get addictive.

I Prescribe: Holga iPhone Lens

For: Pessimistic iPhone users

Prescriber’s Notes: Have you lost your happy? Twenty years ago we would have recommended a pair of rose coloured glasses, but the ’80′s are ancient history (thank goodness) and thankfully there is now something more effective. Our recommendation is that you pick up the Holga iPhone Lens, hop on Instagram and take pictures of your daily life. You’ll be surprised at how beautiful the world is when you are looking through blue, yellow, red and macro lenses.
