The World is Not Enough
Online gift giving for the virtual globe trotter
Whether you’re seeking that illusive “perfect” gift that can’t be found on Main Street or you’re simply in the mood for some virtual window shopping, these three sites offer the most surprising finds online from all four corners of the world.
etsy.com
From vintage paperweights to whimsical wall decals to decadent Mexican nichos, Etsy boasts the most vibrant and diverse collection of handmade goods online today. With its staggering selection of low priced, high quality art, clothing, furniture and jewelry from burgeoning international talents, Etsy makes it easy (and inspirational!) to be a world citizen of shopping.
Kiosk.com
In an age where good design can turn simple into simply irresistible, Kiosk stands out as a veritable tastemaker. From minimalist baby rattles to sturdy Shaker onion baskets to a classic bottle of Bay Rum aftershave, Kiosk.com brings together the best and the brightest in timeless design.
GratefulPalate.com
If you’ve embarked upon the intimidating task of finding a gift for the person who has everything, The Grateful Palate is a veritable Eden of unusual finds. Surely, Mr. or Mrs. oh-so-discerning does not possess a tryptic of BLT scented candles, a bag of Hickory Smoked Bacon Sea Salt, or a bacon ornament for next year’s Tannenbaum? And who wouldn’t benefit from an ultra-exclusive pass to the Bacon of the Month club?
All this gift giving is making me hungry. It’s a good thing that a packet of Grateful Palate Bacon Brittle is just a click away....
