Calling all earth angels.

Earth Day is right around the corner and while you may be doing your part to be green (no, eating green M&Ms sadly does not count), we're sure someone in your family or inner circle isn't (hello, Mother).

Want to jumpstart them on the road to being eco-fabulous?

Get thee to Greensender.

The smart eco-friendly company sends green starter packs to your chosen recipients.

Each box includes a SIGG water bottle (plastic water bottles are so last year), a reusable grocery tote bag (roomier than most, which is a big plus in our book), an energy-efficient cfl light bulb (you'll be amazed at how much you save on your electric bill) and a super-soft organic cotton t-shirt (a girl's gotta look cute on Earth Day).

It may be trendy to be green (Jaye Hersh, fashion pioneer and owner of Intuition in LA, listed Greensender as a favorite site when we chatted with her recently), but you can't argue that it's not needed. Send one for Earth Day, for Mother's Day or just because you love the planet.

Go to Greensender!

P.S. Greensender loves us too and is giving BussBuss readers a free Greensender organic cotton t-shirt with every order of $30 or more! Simply enter BUSSGREEN in the comments section of the checkout process. Be sure to note size and male/female for free tee.

Ever wonder what designers across the pond are up to? Not the big names you can get in every major city, but the independent designers you'd find on sites like Etsy here in the States?

Wonder no more.

DaWanda, the Etsy of Europe, will let you get your fix.

And even though exchange rates aren't exactly in our favor these days, you can still score great deals.

For instance, this darling teapot necklace made from polymer clay would make such a sweet birthday or Mother's Day gift and costs just $6 EUR plus $2 EUR to ship via USPS Priority Mail (if math hurts your head -- and we feel your pain, that means you'll pay about $12 and get your goodies from Sofia, the designer in Bulgaria, in 7-10 days).

It's like having a jet-setting BFF send you goodies from afar, a style pen-pal of sorts -- but better because you get to pick them out yourself.

Way more affordable than booking a ticket to Europe, stroll the virtual market and impress your friends with one-of-a-kind gifts, art and fashion.

Take a trip to DaWanda!

Most hotel shops are filled with overpriced touristy tschotkes, but W hotels are not like most hotels and neither are its stores.

Filled not only with their signature bedding, towels and robes, but also with hip design-focused goods that cater to the clientele they attract, we love that we can shop their well-edited picks without going on vacay by simply clicking over to their website.

What did we find? Jonathan Adler vases, Mimobot flash drives, Philippe Starck Louis Ghost Chairs, Rachel Leigh earrings, CC Skye cuffs, Comme des Garcon wallets and more.

Plus, there are two big deals happening right now.

One, a huge up to 80% off warehouse sale. We spotted Hand Maid by Michelle Frantz bags (originally $165, now $39.99) and CC Skye buckle cuffs (originally $168, now $62.99).

Two, get 40% off with coupon code 39Y9G (does not apply to sale items).

Dear Valentine,

Sure, guys may be more about the Valentine's Night rather than the Valentine's Day, but we think they might enjoy some of our outside-of-the-box gifting as well.

Find 40 inspired ideas for the guys you love this holiday of hearts in our Valentine's Day Gift Guide for Him.

XX,
BussBuss

P.S. BussBuss shoppers enjoy an exclusive 20% off with code BUSS20 through January 15, 2008 (tip: order now for Valentine's Day as customization takes 2-3 weeks).

Whenever we're on the hunt for cool gifts for guys, parents and anyone with a penchant for the unexpected, we head to Hammacher Schlemmer.

Not only do we always find something great for the ones we love, from electronics, toys and games to home gadgets, accessories and more, but we love that Hammacher stands behind everything it sells with a lifetime guarantee.

In this day and age of dwindling customer service and fast, faster, fastest, we really appreciate that. And it's the reason why we chose Hammacher to buy our Roomba (after three years of wonderful use, we're now getting a brand new replacement and only have to pay the difference -- le sweet).

Some top picks? Any of the iPod accessories, like the Bose SoundDock, iPod Karaoke microphone (great for aspiring American Idols), Bluetooth Sports Helmet, the slide and negative to digital picture converter (for Dad), voice recognition grocery list organizer (for Mom) and the list goes on.

Remember the glamour days of air travel?

Neither do we.

But we've finally found a fabulous solution to the things that irk us most when flying the unfriendly skies: arctic cold air, icky used pillows (if you're lucky enough to even nab one), wanting desperately to sleep it all away, but failing miserably, no matter how many Dramamine we've knocked back.

Say hello to the PamBee.

Designed by a flight attendant who knows we want to travel in style and comfort, the PamBee includes a silky blanket long enough to keep toes cozy, an inflatable pillow and a matching adjustable eye mask.

Available in several prints and solids, PamBee fits into any carry-on or tote and barely takes up any space due to the ingenious design (the blanket and eye mask slip right into the deflated pillow).

Handmade by potter Sarah Marymee, set Mr. Piggy on your entryway table or bedroom dresser as a place to toss your spare change.

Or, with the holidays right around the corner, let's not forget about the little ones in our lives.

Adopt your piggy from the Marymee Studio at Etsy.

It's no surprise we like the good life and we love quirky and honest-to-a-fault designer Pamela Barsky (have you read her blog -- a tale of making it as a gift designer in LA, overcoming divorce and more?).

Her products have as much personality as she does and are as entertaining as she is, so it only makes sense that she's responsible for these fabulous entertaining journals.

They'll help you keep track of all your social events, from sharing a bottle of vino with friends to finally getting a table at the hottest restaurant in New York.

Choose from the Dinner Party Journal, the Restaurant Journal, the Wine Lover's Journal or the Recipes Journal to help keep track of your fabulous life.

Better yet, be fabu-less and get these for 50% off right here at See Jane Work.

The Spoon Sisters is perhaps our favorite gift shop of all time.

Selling many of our fave products, style solutions and innovations, such as the Purseket, the Doorganizer, GalPals, Egglings, the Message Bean, Thumb Thing, the Takeout Menu Organizer, the DaysAgo Digital Counter, the Rear-View Computer Mirror, the Foot Petals Stiletto Kit, ABC Gingerbread Cookie Cutters and just about every clever product you've ever wanted for yourself or your loved ones, The Spoon Sisters is more a celebration of innovation and cottage industry than it is about selling products.

Fortunately, The Spoon Sisters love BussBuss just as much as we adore them and are offering an exclusive 20% off to BussBuss readers with code bussbuss at checkout through August 20, 2007.

So stock up on Christmas, baby, hostess and birthday gifts (um, for yourself of course), and save here at The Spoon Sisters.

P.S. We'd like to send a huge thank you to everyone who has taken our Summer Survey. If we learned one thing so far, it's that you want more coupon codes and unique finds (see above) and we're working hard to keep them coming!

We're all about the art of the unexpected, which is why when we came across New Zealand-based Trixie Delicious, we were instantly smitten.

Tea and china are always so proper and stuffy, but not when Karen Dennis of Trixie Delicious gets her naughty little hands in the mix.

Her vandalized vintage plates mix the soft and pretty with the edgy and cheeky. The Upper East Side with the Lower East Side. Think Shabby Chic meets Sarah Silverman. Rachel Ashwell would be quite surprised indeed.

Giving new life to old dishes (oh so very green), imagine your guests' reactions when you serve tea on the Seven Deadly Sins -- or Poisons -- plates. Or, when you use your new plate as decor -- we heart the Clueless plate, but get a kick out of the Starf*cker one as well.

Trixie also does custom work on plates, shakers and teapots, so feel free to choose your own word(s).

Get a little naughty and give the gift of the unexpected (so fab for your hip friends having an untradish wedding) at Trixie Delicious.

If BussBuss were an actual boutique, it would be Delight. Featuring cool, fun, fabulous gifts, accessories and design and shopping goodness, Delight's goal is to put the happy back in shopping. They've succeeded.

What's really fun is that everyday at noon central, a new item is posted and at special savings too -- just for the day. If you love it, nab it right away at the special price. There's a 30-day store as well that items go into if they haven't sold out, which is equally divine for procrastinators like, um, us.

Scope out today's adorable Loop clutch and browse the store for hip Envirosax (by far the cutest and most functional reusable bags we've seen yet), mojito muddlers, haute hostess gifts and oodles more here at Delight.

P.S. Delight loves BussBuss as much as we heart them and is offering 15% off purchases of $30+ exclusively to BussBuss readers. Simply enter code BUSSBUSS at checkout!

If there's one thing we know for certain, it's that life is short. Which means we all should be making the most out of every moment. And as sentimental memory-recording junkies, we think diaries and journals are divine.

Gift someone you love -- and yourself -- with the ingenious 5 Year Diary. Travel forward and back in time as you record daily entries. How? Each page represents one day across five years, so you can read what you were doing two years ago as you write your new entry.

For those wondering if you should quit your boh-ring j-o-b to pursue your big fantasy dreams, we think this will help. After all, who wants to read that they were doing the exact same un-stimulating thing five years ago that they are doing today?

A great birthday gift and a perfect prezzie for new parents or recent grads, score Tamara Shopsin's fab 5 Year Diary at Rare Device.

Wedding season is in full swing and we can think of no bigger name in the wedding industry than Mindy Weiss. The 'it' celebrity wedding and party planner has lavished her chic taste on Jessica and Nick, Gwen and Gavin, Trista and Ryan and Charlie and Denise, to namedrop a few. And while not all the marriages have lasted, the stylish memories live on forever.

And now, with the opening of her new online bridal boutique and gift shop, even those of us not trailed by paparazzi can get our French-manicured hands on glam gifts, accessories, favors and more (even honeymoon and baby gifts too).

Imagine Plum Party meets Spoon Sisters with a sprinkle of girly sweetness thrown in for good measure. Love, Me serves up everything from hip flasks to vintage travel train cases to rhinestone and croc domino sets, lollypop favors, martini shakers and panties of the week.

Explore and find eternal fabulousness when you shop Love, Me.

{Dying to see the Haute Shop of the Week? Let's get it on, style lover!}

We must confess, BussBuss has quite the addictive personality (very La Lohan of us, we know). In fact, we've considered checking into rehab on more than one occasion for our addiction to milkshakes, vintage dresses and cupcakes, to confess a few.

But our latest obsession these days has been over the indie goodness that is Etsy. In case you've been shopping under a rock for the past year or two, Etsy is the spot to find handmade clothing, accessories, home goodies and gifts direct from the artists, crafters and designers themselves (from all over the world).

Think of it as a hipster Ebay, minus the stress of bidding. The best part? Everything is surprisingly affordable (no retail markup rocks!) and you can bookmark your favorite sellers and then browse by who their fave sellers are too. It's never-ending indie awesomeness.

Discover your faves, and prepare to join us in rehab, here at Etsy.

{Hello, gifted. Are you ready for your first installment of Gifted Wednesdays? Of course you are! Let's see what prezzies await...}

There are three things we're passionate about here at BussBuss: innovation, style inspiration and instant gratification. Make that four: brownies. And there's nothing better than brownie edges. Can we get an amen? And we can think of no man (in his right mind) who would disagree.

Really impress Dad, and his sweet tooth, this Father's Day with the mother of all inventions: The Baker's Edge Baking Pan.

In the same vein as the ingenious Muffin Top Pan, The Baker's Edge features a Nobel Peace Prize-worthy patented design that actually improves baking performance by allowing heat to circulate evenly, meaning no more undercooked middles and burned edges.

If you love the crunchy, caramelized, toasty edges of a brownie (or lasagna), this pan is for you...er, Dad.

Find it, along with a host of products and gifts that make life easier, right here at Solutions.

The Brits have done it again. Say hello to Voco, the clock that will make you wonder how you ever lived without him. Instead of an annoying beeping welcoming you to the day, the polite, British voice of Stephen Fry (think Jeeves) greets you, his master, with messages like:

"Good morning, sir. I'm so sorry to disturb you but it appears to be morning. Very inconvenient I agree, sir. I believe it is the rotation of the earth which is to blame, sir."

Hit the button to turn your personal butler off, and you'll receive a fortifying message for the day. And, when it's time for bed, you'll receive a humorous, but oddly effective, 90-second relaxation exercise that will ease you, Master, into slumber.

An excellent gift for Father's Day, you can give the gift of admiration in the morning in true Brit-wit style and listen to and download many of the hilarious messages, right here at Voco.

P.S. 'Good Morning Madam' version arrives in July. We can't wait to be awoken to:

"Good morning, Madam. The current issue of Vogue has devoted its editorial to your sense of style, purpose, beauty and personal grandeur. It may be advisable to use the rear entrance today, Madam, to avoid the crowds."

Dad gave you the moon and stars, so it's only right you return the favor by giving him the sun. In a jar.

Father's Day is right around the corner and we can think of no cooler (natch, warmer) gift than giving Pops a Sun Jar.

Made of frosted glass, the Sun Jar comes equipped with a solar-powered cell and rechargeable battery. Its energy efficient LED light will automatically switch on when it gets dark to give Dad five hours of candle-like light (awesome for summer nights on the porch), but also includes a switch to turn it off if he's not home to enjoy the glow. In a nutshell, it charges during the day and lights up at night.

He'll get a MacGyver-like kick out of it and you'll revel in knowing that, once again, you light up his life (fuggetabout those teen years).

Give him the sun, and check out all of the other hipster gifts and accessories, right here at Elsewares.

P.S. The Sun Jar makes a memorable summer hostess gift too!

Honestly, at the pace we all move these days, is it any wonder we can't remember the last time we watered the plants (circa 1999, perhaps?), opened that bottle of wine, changed the sheets, wore those jeans or popped those pills? The list goes on.

Thankfully, someone had the foresight to create the smartest clock/timer ever, the DaysAgo digital day counter. The clever tiny timer attaches to food containers and other things that need smart tracking -- think anything from those baby bottles or that pizza box in the fridge to your kitty's litter box to your eye shadow and tennies (to remind you of the last time you actually exercised).

To see all the clever uses, along with some handy and eye-opening freshness dates, and to buy your sanity, visit How Many Days Ago pronto.

P.S. This makes a super Father's Day gift! Think filter changes, oil changes, gardening, vitamins and meds, contact lens solution...

Valentine's Day is all about love and we love showing ours with thoughtful and uncommonly fabulous gifts. Okay, maybe that's how we like to receive love too (big shockaroo, we know).

Let your special someone know you care -- and take the stress out of shopping for the big red, white and pink holiday -- with our lovely Valentine's Day Gift Guide.

Shoe-lubbers and bag ladies rejoice, there's yet another site vying for our affection. Amazon has just unveiled Endless, an entire site dedicated to shoes and accessories. Find BCBG Max Azria, Charles David, Bronx, farylrobin, Steve Madden, Two Lips, Betsey Johnson, HOBO International and loads more, even Nahui Ollin's handmade candy-wrapper bags.

The huge selling point? Free overnight shipping (no joke), plus free return shipping, 365-day returns and a 110% price guarantee. That means you can order it, pay zilch for shipping, try it out at home and if you don't quite love it or need a different color or size or decide you don't want it at all, you can ship it right back for free. Scope out all of your stylish options right here at Endless.

Sometimes you just have one of those days – or weeks – or when it comes to the holidays, those months. For those times, we like to visit Subversive Cross Stitch. They make us smile (for others, they may simply offend, to which we say 'whatever').

Score a 'whatever' cross stitch kit, or your choice of many more snarky and hilarious kits, right here at Subversive Cross Stitch.

The hardest to shop for, guys actually are nearly unanimous in what they say they want for the holidays: toys! And by toys, we mean gadgets. So we've rounded up the coolest ones, along with a few more great gifts, to please everyone from Dad to your hubby and even your lover on the side (kidding!). So sit back and have your hot chocolate at the ready as we present to you amazing things for all the guys you love - and in every price range (with no long lines or snotty salespeople in sight). Happy holidays in a click.

It's not as if you don't realize it's nearly the season to be jolly. It's just that you don't exactly have all the time and energy in the world to go fight the masses at the oh-so-boringly mainstream mall. After all, you have champagne to sip and lollypops to lick. Well sit back, uncork and relax as we present our gift to you this holiday season - fabulous gifts for everybody on your list. Amazing things in every price range for pets, coworkers, hostesses, teens, kids, babies, grandparents and families, plus stocking stuffers! So go on, give the gift of originality and style this year. They deserve it - and so do you.

Recently we got a note from our friends across the pond letting us know they had opened up a brilliant new online gift shop featuring accessories, home goodies and more from some of the UK's freshest talent. At first click, we were in love. Kind of like the Mighty Flirt of the UK, the shop specializes in up-and-coming British-based designers. We're fawning over all the gorgeous prints-intense pieces like the bags, pillows and robes.

Find gifts for guys, kids, your home and, always most importantly, YOU, right here at the scrumptious Rockett St George (and yes, they ship to the US).

Are you a teen queen superstar, royalty or perhaps just a royal pain? Tired of the stalkerazzi recording your every move? We feel your pain (in our fantasyland that is). Pop on a pair of these fangasmic censor bar glasses and nab your BFF La Lohan a pair too. The inside edges are reflective so you can even see who's talking behind your back (yeah, that means you, Paris!).

Bring silly back with a pair from the funtabulous Fred Flare right here.

If you want to express thanks, good luck, love or happy birthday in the coolest way possible, have we got the thing for you. Message beans have your choice of sentiment lasered into one side and a complementary image lasered into the other (hearts, clovers, etc.).

All you have to do to see the "message" is grow the bean – and that's something even the black thumbs around here can do. Simply pull off the foil top and bottom (to let the water drain), add about a half-cup of water to the soil and in about a week the bean will poke through the soil revealing your special message – like magic.

Surprise someone you love – even if that someone is you (we heart you too) – right here at The Spoon Sisters.

Ah, summer. BBQs, impromptu backyard bashes, rooftop parties. Do you really want to be the person who shows up with another bottle of wine? Get creative with your hostess gifts, and all other gifts for that matter, and prepare to do a little spooning. The gifted site The Spoon Sisters carries the cutest, quirkiest, coolest, most unique and super affordable gifts we've seen in ages. It's hard to pick favorites, but we have a few, such as the Cool Shooters (shot glasses made of ice!), 'ABC' cookie cutters (to create hilarious headless and limbless gingerbread men), glam designer dish gloves and the amazing Eggling (crack its top, give it some water and love and soon you'll be growing basil, mint or petunia). Check it all out and never be without a fab gift again at The Spoon Sisters.

What to give the guy who's about to become a dad for the first time for Father's Day? How about the gift of his masculinity? After all, why should he be subjected to toting a very girly diaper bag when he can sport a bag so manly no one would ever suspect it's a diaper bag? The Diaper Dude (the kind Brad Pitt totes around) will keep his manhood in check and comes in camo, black, brown, grey or blue and is adorned with dragons, peace signs, guitars and the like at Diaper Dude. Or give him a cool bag by SKIP*HOP, like the Expo, which hangs neatly on a stroller and can be worn over the shoulder. It comes in charcoal, red, black, blue camo and olive at SKIP*HOP. Check out more great gifts for Father's Day right here – it's just six days away so get up on it hauties.

We're not sure how it happened, but in a week and a half Father's Day will be here. Yup, already. So it's time to talk cool and appropriate gifts for the guy who helped give you life – or for the one your kids are now calling Daddy. We've rounded up our faves of the year and there's something for every Dad in every price range. And we're extra gaga over what the Brooklyn-based Stewart-Stand brothers are churning out. We first met the design duo a few years ago at a show where they were debuting their innovative Flatlinks cufflinks. And now they've upped the coolness ante with their new Stainless Steel Wallets. They feel like super soft silk, are flexible and ultra-thin, yet are extremely durable (after all, they're made of stainless steel), so your fave guy can say bubye to that embarrassing bulge on his backside. Plus, he'll totally geek out to this tech-safety fact: RFID blocking devices prevent credit card fraud or theft of information on any smart chips embedded in cards kept in Stainless Steel Wallets by Stewart/Stand. Safety, practicality and ultra-hip style – what guy wouldn't love that? Pick up a wallet for Dad at stewartstand.com. And check out our complete list of Fab Father's Day Gifts right here.

We came across Exit9 in ReadyMade magazine, one of our fave mags ever (they essentially show you how to make the coolest hipster crafts), and couldn't believe we'd never heard of them -- especially since they're also in NYC. Holla neighbor! The quirky gift emporium, a mix between Fred Flare and Elsewares but with more edge, carries a fun assortment of gifts and accessories. Some of our fave finds include this oh-so practical mountable bottle opener (we hate having to dig through our drawers when we have friends over), this hilarious tennis/skulls tote, and this sweet piggy bank that makes deposits and withdrawals so much more fun. Check it all out here – it's a perf place to find hipster hostess gifts too, which will come in handy this Memorial Day weekend and all summer long.

If your valentine just happens to be tech, art, design and style savvy, then mimobots are the perfect gift, and may we say congrats on finding such a well-rounded and hip mate. Extra fabulous for those who are hard to please or have seen it all, mimobots are the result of art and technology procreating – now that's haute! The 2" USB flash drives let you carry your data and files on the go (think tunes, pics, videos, presentations, etc.) and we think one of the coolest Valentine's Day gifts would be to give your honey a limited-edition 'love' mimobot (only 333 were made), filled with his/her fave songs or pictures. It's geeky sweet and you can add to the family (with new characters) down the road. Choose from 256MB, 512MB, 1G or 2G starting at $59.95 at mimoco.com. Check out the super limited-edition matching plush toys and other characters too – swoon!

Hunting for a cute and quirky gift for your one-of-a-kind Valentine? Something unexpected that will make her/him giggle? Enter UglyDolls, the so-ugly-they're-cute companions that'll knock the socks off those stale Hallmark-type bears. And can't you just imagine your UglyDoll presenting some pretty flowers or deelish chocolates to your lovepie? Priceless. Adopt an UglyDoll for a mere $20 at Calliope Boutique.

Pamper your best guy this Valentine's Day with something he would never treat himself to, like a very grown-up shaving set by aMENity. What's so great about it? Why, the badger brush, of course (any guy who has ever had an old-fashioned shave will love this and any guy who hasn't will finally know the pleasure of a real shave). The badger brush exfoliates and leads to smoother, softer, bump-free skin, so your guy is cuddle-ready for you this Valentine's Day and beyond. Pick up a starter set online that includes the badger brush and shave cream for $50 at PIR Cosmetics (or in person at 14 Prince Street in Manhattan). PIR is a cool beauty store offering hip and niche cosmetic brands like DuWop, Kevyn Aucoin, Pretty Pretty, Tocca and lots more, so browse for prezzies for yourself as well – it's time to start shedding that winter skin and spring your complexion into paparazzi-worthy shape!
