If you're looking for a housewarming gift that breaks the mold, check out Fishs Eddy. Their line of tableware, flatware and linens are stylish, practical and fun. I particularly like their collection of little trays that are just the right size for holding loose change or greasy spoons.

Here's the scoop on Stuff: It's an 8,200-square-foot collective in San Francisco's Mission District with more than 25 dealers peddling very cool items. These are professionals who comb estate sales, flea markets and who-knows-where for real finds.
