I am a huge design magazine buff – I even save articles in inspiration binders I've created – and I always look forward to lists of items that a notable person "can't live without" because I often find new (or new-to-me!) products and services.
About three years ago I started collecting items for my own lists: things I'm grateful for, trends in real estate, and not only widely-available products, but items, experiences, and resources only available here in the Bay Area.
What are some of your favorite things?
