Banks bonus
Harlem's hottest female rapper, Azealia Banks, marks 2012 with a world tour. First stop is Scotland's Rockness festival in June. Bag your tickets at azealiabanks.com and prepare to be gloriously gobsmacked – or settle for the new single "212", out tomorrow.
Pussy galore
It was only a matter of time before Hello Kitty launched her own confectionery line, and this team-up with Ladurée is perfect. Choose from macaroons (£11.60 for a mix of flavours) or chocolates (£22) – both come in a super-cute, Kitty-style gift box. From Ladurée in Covent Garden, London WC2, 020-7240 0706
A room of my own
Many of us dream of having a shed as an idyllic retreat – but how many actually achieve the reality? A new photo book, My Cool Shed, shows what you can do if you put your mind to it. Lakeside cabin or treetop studio, anyone? £14.99, published end of April by Pavilion, from anovabooks.com
Hats off
After something a bit different to hang your hat off? Snap up this snazzy pipework coathook from the British design team at nickfraser.co.uk.It comes in three colourways, and is part of a strictly limited run. Oh, and if you really want to tap into the look, there's a candelabra, too.
Easter parade
Russian fine-jewellery house Fabergé is famed for its blingy Easter eggs, beloved by the tsars. Now it has collaborated with Hermès to create this scrumptious, limited-edition silk scarf. Yum. £180, wardrobemistress.co.uk
