Welcome to #WeWant, a weekly selection of the stuff OnMilwaukee.com editors and staffers love.

Illuminate it: Night Stars Landscape Lights There are outdoor lights, and there are outdoor lights powered BY LASERS! The Night Stars Landscape Lights fall into that latter category, projecting a zillions of tiny green stars all the way across your backyard, bouncing off of trees, power lines and anything else in its path. The super-bright projection stakes into your ground (and don't look right at it, as I did), then plugs in via an external outlet and makes for a lovely splash of color for gardens, parties or just as a unique lighting solution. Apparently, the projector can be used indoors, but I don't see how; this is way too bright for anything but, say, all a ballroom in a mansion. At $130, though, Night Star Landscape Lights are probably best for special events or for people who have gazebos (not me), or for people who just like playing with lasers (me). Needless to say, my backyard no longer looks like anyone else's on the block. -- Andy Tarnoff

Use it: skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels Eye gel pads feel amazing, and the skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels do indeed provide a much needed cooling sensation under my eyes. Not only do they feel great, they are actually working to de-puff and reduce the swelling below my eyes. Bags be gone, at least till I use these wondrous eye gels again. -- Carolynn Buser

Hang It: Patent Prints I'm not sure I have room on my wall, but these patent prints are really catching my eye. Each print is taken from original patent filings ranging from a jet engine to a coffee pot to a DeLorean. They're beautiful and a bit nerdy; the only question is which one to get! -- Nick Barth

Read it: "Horton and the Kwuggerbug and More Lost Stories" by Dr. Seuss This new collection of stories from the late Theodor Seuss Geisel aka "Dr. Seuss" was written 60 years ago but only recently published by Random House. I'm not sure if it's the familiar, comfort-inducing drawings or the fact I want to say the word "Kwuggerbug" as often as possible, but I gotta have this to read to my kids. And to myself. -- Molly Snyder

Drink it: Bozen Bolzano Lagrein Perl 2011 The only thing I love better than a satisfying red wine, is a satisfying red wine at a great price. Retailing at about $13, this 100 percent lagrein -- which is rare here -- is vinified by Bozen in Italy's German-speaking, northern Alto Adige region. So deeply hued that in Italy they might call it "vino nero" -- this lagrein has dark red berries and an almost cocoa-y overtone. Medium bodied and with smooth tannins and balanced acidity, this is among the best wines you'll find at the price around here. -- Bobby Tanzilo
