Shopping in Eastchester

Track down that bottle of magic blue potion you regret not buying during your vacation to Paris and get it with today's Groupon: $10 for $30 worth of international health and beauty products at Thompson Chemists. The SoHo mom-and-pop store, located at 137 Thompson St., stocks all sorts of obscure European balms and salves.

The apparel and handbag haven boasts inimitable, wearable artwork actualized by designing duo Toni Hacker and Ben Harnett, whose creations are stocked in an impressive roster of stores, including Nordstrom and Anthropologie.

Today's Groupon drapes you in silver and gold and douses you in gems and jewels from Lunessa Designer Jewelry, the enchanted enclave of rapturous rings, bracelets, earrings, and necklaces in SoHo. For $20, you get $50 worth of owner-designer Elise Perelman's collection of timeless and feminine sparkling jewels and treasures.

Featured in numerous television and online media, the Sassy City Chicks Fashion Bash showcases trendy apparel from more than 50 designers, as well as accessories from chic lines such as Jay Clay Jewelry, Divine Sole Boutique, and Frederick's of Hollywood. Style mavens descend on the event to sample cocktails and relax in an onsite spa lounge. Visitors also take advantage of discounts on handbags and accessories from locally based brands. At the end of the day, select attendees go home with eco-friendly, reusable tote bags, which are filled with coupons, certificates, and at least $30 worth of beauty products from brands such as Pureology and TanTowel, including lip balm, compact mirrors, and envy balm to apply directly to the eyes of coworkers jealous of your ensemble.

It's never too late to give a gift that's actually three gifts containing a multitude of other gifts—like a set of Russian nesting dolls filled with ball bearings. For $25, you get one Gingerbread Holiday Stacker from the world-famous Dylan's Candy Bar, a $40 value. This triple-tiered package is stacked with sweets and comes topped with a first-place blue ribbon and holiday bell powerful enough to get snow angels their wings and make newborn babies salivate for the first time.

Helmed by a former Bloomingdale's buyer, Pink Olive's wares remind shoppers of life's pleasantries. Charm guests with a lovingly sliced vegetable oil–based bar of coffee mint soap ($10) packaged in a pretty flower casing. Disguise an embarrassing diaper with a frilly, ruffled fabric cover in a painterly print ($28), or coax elves out of hiding with a welcoming dewdrop toadstool nightlight ($78).
