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.

The site for the long-loved New York City apothecary features products from its own signature line (try the lip products), along with a mix of items that are strictly practical (Badger balm) and ones that are luxurious (Diptyque candles).
