Cool Hunting
If your local market doesn't satisfy your ice cream cravings, check out Ecreamery, where you can create your own ice cream from 3 base mixes (gelato, classic and super premium), 99 flavors, and 99 mix-ins/toppings. Then you get to name your creation. This luxury does not come cheap: 4 pints (the smallest order) with a single flavor and a single mix-in will set you back around $52 (including shipping). You may not get props from Martha Stewart for pointing-and-clicking instead of making your own (it's not that hard), but your friends will surely be impressed when they sample your one-of-a-kind creation.
If custom desserts are your thing, make sure you check out Milk&Cookies Bakery, a small New York City bakery that offers a dozen freshly-baked custom cookies for $12. They are a CH favorite.

Available in only two flavors, plain and green tea (although I've heard no one ever gets the green tea), it’s the many toppings—fresh fruit, crunchy...

Made with premium ingredients and boasting unique flavors (like pomegranate and saffron) and inventive flavor combos (such as cucumber and chili), these win over soft-serve any day. Sheer Bliss is a new pioneer in the super premium ice cream segment, recognizable in the supermarket by their reusable tin...
We've spent the last hour writing clever things about these tasty thongs, but decided it would be best to let them speak for themselves. Stay tuned for more gifts in CH Valentine's Finds. Belgian milk chocolate thongs, £5, for men and women from BoysStuff....
Laloo's Goat's Milk Ice Cream Company is hand made on a farm in Sonoma, CA where the 350 goats roam and graze freely in the majestic fields. These must be some very happy goats, because their milk, and the ice cream that is made from it, is outrageously good. Goat's milk is low in fat and low in lactose, which makes it easier to...
