| Don't leave home without wearing a piece of Lee Ann Herreid jewelry. Her smart and functional compass necklaces, ruler bracelets, and level earrings will keep you in balance. Try to measure how steady or straight you can keep your hand while wearing a bulls-eye level ring. Or, let the red rise as you strut into work wearing a pair of thermometer earrings. Other than the stainless steel rulers, all Individual Icons are set in sterling silver. http://www.individualicons.com |

| If you can't sneak out of the office to visit an art gallery or museum, click and point your way into the private Tomkins Collection for your next cultural fix. It's an awesome collection of objects from pre-modern cultures. From amulets carved out of whale teeth to two-headed wooden figures meant to convey the presence of invisible spirits within humans, the 263 objects are beautifully captured and well documented. Search by region, material, collector's name, etc. The intricacy of designs is captivating. http://www.tomkinscollection.org |

After so many years of being a bridesmaid and never a bride, Erica Goldstein decided to do something about it. No, she hasn't found Mr. Right yet, but she is packaging her know-how into a clever marketable product. Paper Bride sells a deluxe box of cards for every Bridezilla occasion. With 50 cards and envelopes included, everyone a bride needs to thank, deal with, or apologize to will receive the appropriate message, including the "good liar" who tells the bride how she pretty she looks the day after the bachelorette party. http://www.paperbride.com
