Stylish, eco-conscious merchandise is the focus here, and every item, whether it's a Perfectly Imperfect organic-cotton trapeze top, Nature Girl sulfate-free shampoo, or a one-of-a-kind chandelier, is produced using energy-efficient, environmentally sensitive methods. To further promote a green lifestyle, Modify posts topical weekly blog entries—and includes a glossary-like primer on all its vendors.

Designed around a campy academia-gone-awry theme, this entertaining gift site features a home page that depicts the cover of a lovingly abused notebook—complete with animated doodles—and sorts its merchandise into witty categories like "Organic Chemistry" (bath and body products) and "Locker Room" (bags and jewelry). Click through the cartoon-scrawled, graph-paper pages and shop for Brickhouse tea scrubs, photo books on tree houses and yurts, and old-fashioned Jorg & Olif Dutch-style city bicycles, which are newly available in the States.
