Seven Favorite Things: Design-Junkie Gifts from Karikter
For unique gift ideas (ahem: impressive pieces for the design snobs in your life), we turned to Karikter in Union Square.
The local boutique also has a full online offering, featuring ordinary, useful products -- with a carefully designed twist. For example, the item pictured above is...oh, just your everyday pepper mill. (Yeah, that's the coolest pepper mill we've ever seen, too.) Color us impressed.

2. Royal VKB Serving Tray, $88
3. Peter Stathis Trapeze LED Table Light, $350
4. Lego Architecture Farnsworth House, $82
5. Shelton Pure Black Chef's Knife Large, $130
6. Vacuum Jug 0.5L, $65
7. Chairs Card Case, $38
