No need to dig around for items here; the owners of this New York home store stock their favorites and explain to us why their items are so good. For example, a pillow is no ordinary pillow—"it's hand-crafted and embroidered by artisans in Northern India using the finest 3-ply hand-dyed wool." Which makes us really want it.

BTC Elements

Unique and often one-of-a-kind items are the specialty here, from "upcycled" floral appliquéd bobby pins made from vintage blouses to colorful hoop earrings crafted from old skateboards. Our favorites include the cozy striped cardigans from Raw Earth Wild Sky and cute graphic tops by Mika Machida.

Blurb

With the same appeal as the hugely popular PhotoStamps—those U.S. Postal Service?authorized stamps that you can customize with your own pics—Blurb is due to be the next big trend in personalization: It allows you to make a linen-bound, professional-quality book for next to nothing. Upload the free software, import your images, play with layouts, and create a bespoke volume; the end result is ready in about a week and looks as sleek as anything you'd pull off a Barnes & Noble shelf. Prices start at just $12.95—and there's no minimum per order.
