Auto
Cruise this excellent design-focused boutique for a perfectly curated selection of home and fashion accessories, such as chunky merino-wool hats from Mischa Lampert ($165–$250), batiked John Robshaw napkins ($75), cashmere-covered hot water bottles ($150) and go-with-anything patterned Missoni throws ($270). 803–805 Washington St between Gansevoort and Horatio Sts (212-229-2292)

Bodum
Give caffeine addicts a jolt with wallet-friendly French presses ($20–$50), sleek teakettles ($25–$50) and coffee grinders ($20–$90) on tap at this Danish company’s massive airy flagship. But its shelves offer more than just java accessories, so you can scoop up sturdy double-walled tumblers ($15–$30). 415 W 14th St between Ninth and Tenth Aves (212-367-9125)

La Cafetière
Given its yellow awnings and colorful tables set with mismatched dishware, you might mistake Madeleine Guedj’s Euro housewares shop for one of NYC’s ubiquitous bistros. Though it doesn’t offer steak frites, it’s still an ideal spot to pick up all the accoutrements for a French meal, including hand-blown glass bowls ($13), colorful napkin rings ($9), Mustardseed and Moonshine porcelain flower bowls ($43) and Jacquard Francais Kabuki lacquer place mats ($25). 160 Ninth Ave at 20th St (866-486-0667)

Mood Indigo
Arguably the best source in the city for collectible bar accessories and dinnerware, this recently relocated space sells Bakelite, Fiestaware and rarer pieces, such as a 1950s Russel Wright wine carafe ($325) and plates by Eva Zeisel ($28–$65). They have more than 150 vintage cocktail shakers as well as objects from notable New York nightspots like the Stork Club. At the Showplace Antique Center, 40 W 25th St between Broadway and Sixth Ave (212-254-1176)

Nest Interiors
Husband and wife team Lana Sexton and Henry Stozek carefully pick every item for their reliably excellent home goods shop, so you’ll find everything from one-of-a-kind creations by small, local artisans to globally sourced objects and vintage treasures. Moroccan tile–inspired rubber coasters by Strada (four for $25), Judy Ross wool chain-stitched pillows ($200) and ceramic bowls shaped after leaves ($80) are easy pleasers. 172A Ninth Ave between 20th and 21st Sts (212-337-3441)

Pippin
Newly relocated to Chelsea from the East Village, this vintage jewelry resource is appropriately located adjacent to the 17th Street flea market. Like the original, the space is replete with worn oriental rugs, gorgeous antique cases and a trove of extremely affordable costume baubles (they have drawers packed with bits for $5). If you’re willing to spend a little more, you can score undeniably beautiful pieces—carved cameos, onyx rings inset with diamonds—for around $100. There’s a carriage house behind the space that offers a small trove of antique furniture, paintings and tchotchkes, with the same emphasis on affordability. 112 W 17th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves (212-505-5159)

West Elm
While Williams-Sonoma’s more accessible sibling is primarily known as a design-conscious powerhouse for sleek-lined and affordable furniture, the Chelsea space abounds with affordable gifts, such as blown-glass vases in soft purple ($9–$24), lacquered serving trays ($19–$24) and gold-edged tumblers (four for $24). The minimalist aesthetic marries well with other decorating styles. 112 W 18th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves (212-929-4464); 75 Front St between Main and Washington Sts, Dumbo, Brooklyn (718-875-7757)
