No, we’re not talking Christmas in June, but what with Mom’s Day, Dad’s Day, wedding season, baby season, and hostess gifts for weekends at the shore–not to mention a little refreshment for our own summer wardrobes–we’re shopping even more than we usually do. (And that’s saying something.) Here at Store Adore, we’re all for cheap thrills–guaranteed crowd pleasers that provide a real style bang for the buck. Check out a few of our favorite online and NY-based resources for affordable gifting. Plus, use our exclusive discounts for even bigger savings.

Cheap Thrills Online

Elsewares (20% Discount!) Elsewares’ passionate commitment to magnificent designs and the artists behind them means not only that you’ll score super-cool stuff on the site, but also that you’ll support independent artists and companies with a conscience in the process. The folks at Elsewares scour the creative world for innovative apparel, accessories and home products from companies that practice healthy labor practices and focus on environmental sustainability. These adorable Egglings ($9.50) look and feel just like real eggs–just crack one open, add water and a seedpack, and you’ve created the mini-est garden ever. Or check out coasters from Sesame Letterpress ($12 for a set of 8 coasters): available in a variety of motifs, they’re hand-pressed in Brooklyn by a husband and wife team. We also love this iconic take on the classic diamond ring ($10) — perfect for a friend suffering from a recent breakup, that is if she has a sense of humor. Elsewares’ treasure trove of conversation pieces is diverse, affordable and 100 percent guilt-free. For help navigating, check out the gift guides, where you can sort by price (including an under $25 category), recipient and recycled material.

Knock Knock (15% Discount with a Purchase of $50 or More!) Knock Knock: For people who have either way too much to do or not enough to do at all, sense of humor required. This clever line of paper-based goods (pads, organizers, sticky notes and more) and its corresponding e-commerce site are devoted to keeping you in line and on track—and always with a smile. You’ll find “Whenever” sticky notes titled “Today,” “Soon” and “Someday” ($15.99 for a set); sassy door hangers that you can flip to signal your mood (”Come on in and give me a hug” on one side, “I’ve had it–best to stay away” on the other) ($6.99 for a set of three); and funny file folders marked “to do,” “to ponder” and “to file” ($8.99) Knock Knock: It’s definitely who’s there.

Mix-ee-pliz-ick) has something for anyone with a quirky modern taste. This “Spy” Wall Clock ($28) boasts a fish eye mirror that reaches the far corners of a room–no sneaking the broccoli under the dinner plate while mom is facing the other direction!

Cheap Thrills in New York’s East Village

If you live in New York (or are coming for a visit), there’s no better place for values and steals than the East Village. Print our Cheap Thrills East Village map, and check out the highlights of our afternoon with Alisyn.

Pink Olive (20% Discount in-store and online!)

We can’t seem to get enough of Pink Olive around here. Every item in this adorable shop is a true treasure, and barely anything is priced above $50. I purchased this absolutely adorable mini stuffed ladybug. With my Store Adore discount, it came out to just about $6!

Girly NYC

Alisyn and I laughed over hilariously sleep masks printed with phrases like “Wake me when it’s time for coffee” and ogled the frilly boy shorts, but what I’m really coveting is this Amanda Uprichard Dress–the ruffles are feminine but not clowny, and the subtle python print adds some extra sass. Find all this and more in Girly’s boudoir-like space.

Sick of eco-shopping sites, especially when they employ loaded phrases like “natural” (that oatmeal shade couldn’t be all that organic cotton has to offer) or “recycled cashmere” (never quite as quite the second time around)? We’ve sorted through heaps of hemp and turned up retail gems that offer strikingly stylish products that also happen to be good for Mother Earth. Presenting Store Adore’s favorite online sources for all things eco…After all isn’t green the new black?
