furniture

As the name suggests, this home and gift store sells out-of-the-ordinary wares that you never before knew you wanted. Example: an 8-inch tall ceramic night lamp shaped like a Chihuahua with an Elizabeth-ish medical cone around its neck. Unnecessary, yet so necessary.

The online extension of this favorite Boston home decor shop offers a broad range of stylish items that are both practical and decorative. The stock is ample, and features mod, colorful, and clean items for all rooms. It's one of our favorite gift sources.

This online shop for Design Within Reach has high-design contemporary furniture and furnishings.

The latest from rising talents who live and work in Brooklyn. Our picks: Sarah Cihat's black porcelain howling wolf heads and Stella Bugbee's wildly romantic (yet practical) rolls of lace-print packing tape.

Shopping at Bloomingdale's can be slightly overwhelming, which is why we love its website so much. Almost everything sold at the store is available here, from shoes to gowns to sunglasses.
