Upscale Dec 08

What new dad doesn't want to show off to his gorgeous daughter? This great onesie by Catfish Greetings lets you do just that. Made from 100% organic cotton that has been combed for extra softness, this onesie will pamper your baby while letting the world know how devoted you are to her, and how devoted she will no doubt one day be in return. I love the hip modern graphic which adds to the sweetness of the shirt without being too corny. The combination of pink and brown is definitely eye-catching. -Posted by Greta

This petite greeting card shop offers relief from sappy Hallmark sentiments and over-the-hill jokes. Neat rows of artistic hand-printed cards from a slew of independent presses span the store's pale blue walls, like Flaunt's mulberry paper collages, eco-friendly letterpress designs from Two Piglets, and Mudlark's floral boxed sets. The store's namesake Cat Fish line features the widest variety, printed with minute, hand-glittered illustrations by co-owner Loi Luc, a former graphic designer. The two narrow aisles can become congested around Mother's Day and the holiday season, when shoppers fresh from the street's row of boutiques congregate, but most days the crowds ebb quickly as buyers pop in and out on their way to baby showers and birthday dinners. The store also stocks last-minute gifts, like Luc's illustrated organic cotton onesies for infants, Mary Jane patterned baby socks from Trumpette, and colorful journals. — Lauren Murrow

Stuff We Love: Hip Gifts Under $25 
Nanu, Nanu
Here's a gift anybody will like: The Eggling is made of porous ceramic and contains a seed pack that grows into a plant -- just tap the top of the egg to remove it, add water and watch it grow. You can get an Eggling that grows herbs like basil or mint, or an Eggling that grows flowers -- like a petunia or a mum. The cleverest use of the humble egg since Mork and Mindy, it's a little dose of greenery for the desktop, the windowsill or the kitchen table, and it's only $10. Available at CatfishGreetings.com, or visit Eggling.com for stores.

BEST CARD SHARKS 2006: Had enough of the goofy baby and cat pictures that seem to decorate every greeting card on the market? Get personal with Cat Fish Greetings’ adorable but tasteful handmade cards. With details that range from letterpress to cut-outs, these simply stylish cards toast every occasion, including weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, “just because,” party invites, and more; cards are in the $3-and-up range. The Girlie Shirley line boasts the cheerful Shirley stick-figure character, adorned with a felt dress and dimensional greeting ($4.50). And because people seldom appreciate cards unless there’s a gift with them (or money inside), the store also sells fun office accessories (cat-shaped mouse pads, an Elvis tape dispenser) and cute-as-a-button baby toys and clothing. Stationery and custom invites are also on offer

"Every street has its star, and indomix and Cat fish are tied in my book. They both combine innovation with a lighthearted approach to design. Cat fish has been around for about a year-they started as a wholesale greeting card company, designing their own greeting cards. Their store features the Cat fish line along with other innovative designers.
The hand-made cards are fun and mod,with delicate detailing and for the most part-blank inside-an answer to your "I'm a minimalist and I can't find anything in this cheesy Hallmark store"prayers. They run $5 and up.
Cat Fish also carries stationery box sets with pop art and mod stylings, journals, hula girl address books, retro coasters, hand made gift wrap, and Keekababy.com-infant tees and bodysuits that say things like my pumpkin, sweet pea, honey bunny, cupcake. They come in ready to mail boxes all for $22.
Detail and craftsmanship combined with Loi Luc and Danny Mei, Cat Fish's fantastic owners ensure success for this unique store." |

"Good news for the chopstick-challenged diner: You no longer have to send your regrets when friends invite you to an Asian bistro. Danny Mei, who owns Cat Fish, a New York City gift boutique, has come to the rescue with a line of chopsticks that look like long clothespins.The colorful, 9-inch-long utensils pinch food so you can get it to your mouth without mishap. A little wire gizmo keeps the sticks snuggly together, performing the chore that often escapes non-nimble fingers. In other words, no more dropping stir-fried veggies down the front of your new white shirt...."
