If you're a natural history fan, you cannot miss this shop in Soho -- it's filled to the ceililng with an array of wonders like I've never seen. Beetles, bones, butterflies, geological samples, fossils, freaky taxidermy... they've got everything in various forms, from straight up specimens to framed pieces to items that have been turned into jewelry, keychains, paperweights, etc. A great place for unusual gifts (though there is a danger of going a bit TOO unusual -- how many people want a dead frog that doubles as a coin purse?).
