30 April 2010

Beyond books, cds, dvds and posters I seem to be just getting into the brave although not-so-new world of online shopping for things other than books and posters and the like. What are your favourite shopping websites that I should check out? [More:]

For instance, Etsy is wonderful for jewelry. This AskMe thread of mine gave me a list of websites that are good for shoes, and this one told me where to find the best yarn. What are your go to websites for blowing half your paycheque on shoes, clothes, accessories, jewelry, personal care products, smaller home décor items, craft supplies such as fabric and yarn, books, music, and every other little thing your heart desires?
You didn't mention clothes, but I've been really addicted to MyShape.com recently. I don't have to worry so much about size charts and they have free shipping/returns and lots and lots of sales.

I have never bought anything from elsewares.com, but I love to browse there.

Spoonflower if you want to design your own fabric, or want to buy fabrics others have designed.

I like myshape too. I went through with entering all my measurements and did the body type analysis, and it actually has really helped me zero in on clothes that work well for me.

http://www.dealextreme.com for all your chinese-made anythings, tech bits, cable-ties, bicycle lights, sunglasses and usb gadgets. It's got all that stuff that you really need, but didn't realize you needed.

I'm on my at least 5th jar of this shampoo from etsy. I'm wild about that scent. So, I like etsy for shampoo! Velocity Art and Design carries a lot of my favorite hip home decor lines like Roost, Pigeon Toe Ceramics, Heath Ceramics, Perch, etc. I like hyaluronic acids from Garden of Wisdom.

Butters and oils and things from Mountain Rose Herbs, beans from Rancho Gordo, my favorite blanket ever that's lasted me 7ish years with no signs of giving up from Garnet Hill, spices from Penzeys.
