Crate & Barrel

Macworld Review: "This site offers the same dishes, glassware, silverware, stemware, furniture, and knick-knacks as the Crate & Barrel stores. It also keeps the clean, open feel of the stores' white walls and maple display stands. Stemware ordered from the site arrived unbroken, due to the company's meticulous and elaborate packing procedures: the glasses were wrapped in paper and bubble pack and then placed in an oversize box full of Styrofoam peanuts. The site doesn't offer gift wrapping, but you can sign up to receive a "gift reminder" e-mail if you need a little help remembering important events. You can also select and send items online from Crate & Barrel's gift (in other words "wedding") registry."
