The Iguana Cultural Gift Shop wants to give the world a hug. The store sells traditional craft and folk art from South America, Africa, Asia, Europe and anywhere else there's creativity to bottle up and sell.

Gift ideas range from African masks and animal-shaped Yixing teapots to Peruvian pottery. The eclectic collection includes pieces from over 40 different countries and has large items (like furniture) and small gifts (like candles or incense). Store favorites often sell out, but can be ordered off the website.—Mai Dinh
