IKEA Is Selling a Chocolate Bunny for Easter, and Some Assembly Is Required
IKEA is famous for a lot of things: their maze-like floor plan, those big blue shopping bags, furniture that sometimes requires a PhD to put together. But there’s no denying that their assemble-yourself furniture is at the top of that list, and the latest foray might be their most delicious yet. In honor of Easter, IKEA just announced a new DIY milk chocolate bunny that is going to be on sale in their U.K. stores.

A Colorful, Kitschy Tour of a Home with 100 Christmas Trees — House Tour
Name: Jennifer Perkins and husband Chris Boehk along with daughter Tallulah and son Baxter. Kitty is Bri.
Location: Austin, Texas
Size: 2,900 square feet
Years lived in: Owned 3.5 years
We’ve toured craft maven, entrepreneur and all-around badass woman Jen Perkins’ home for Halloween. Twice. Not exactly known for her minimalist views on decor, you guys asked to see how she tackles the task of adding Christmas cheer to her Austin home, and she (and fabulous photographer Chelsea Francis) have delivered. Her home—and the 100 trees within it—is truly cheery and kitschy enough to brighten even the biggest Grinch’s day.
→ Yes, this is a rerun of a tour because, well, 100 trees. But anyone who is familiar with Jen knows that she doesn’t repeat herself. Though we didn’t tour her home this year ourselves, hop on over to her website for a full tour and Instagram to see how she’s decked her kitschy halls this year. It looks very pink-a-liscious!

15 Stylish Home Brands That Are Giving Back for the Holidays
If the slew of corny but bingeable holiday movies have taught us anything, it’s that it is always better to give than receive. Sure, we all want to receive something shiny and new (who doesn’t?); however, it’s also incredibly satisfying to see the look on a loved one’s face when they open a present they really adore.
Of course, the same sentiment applies giving to charities. There’s no better time than the holidays to donate to charities that resonate with you. Today, it’s easier than ever before to support the causes you love. While you can always donate directly to a charity, you can also buy some beautiful pieces, as a gift or for yourself, that give a portion of their proceeds to a cause.
Ready to get shopping? Here are 15 brands that are giving back this holiday season:

The Gimmicky Holiday Gift That's Actually Made My Life 10% Better
I am a naturally tired person. Therefore I love coffee in the mornings, tea (and sometimes coffee) in the afternoon, and coffee with Bailey’s in the evening. One thing I do not love about drinking warm liquids is that sometimes they are mean and tricky fiends. They hurt you if you’re too eager! They turn cold if you take your time! How rude!

This $20 Amazon Buy Makes the Holidays Less of a Hassle
With the countdown to the most anticipated holiday officially underway, one needs to be as efficient as possible in order to avoid any decorative mishaps. In years past, it may have been totally acceptable to decorate the old-fashioned way, à la “A Christmas Story’s” Old Man Parker, who infamously disregarded fire safety precautions while lighting the family tree. But anyone who prefers the scent of a Douglas fir to the burning odor of an electrical fire should consider adding this $20 smart power strip to your Amazon shopping carts.
