The spark-joy item Marie always keeps on her desk? A small vase of fresh flowers. This one, from the Japanese homegoods brand KINTO, is equal parts graceful and cute – dynamically designed, it serves a plurality of floral needs. The removable brass plate supports a single stem or nestles a succulent (try growing on hydroponically!); use without the plate to display a small bouquet or a handful of slender stems.

Joy Tip In your office or workspace, clear your desk of all items that aren’t absolutely essential to work – then add an object or two that simply sparks joy.
