NEW YORK, Dec 19, 2003/ FW/ --- With 5 shopping days left before Christmas, and your Christmas gift list is still untouched, don't worry. There is still time to get those one-of-a-kind gifts, if you are the New York City area, that is.

Rather than wandering aimlessly among the last minute holiday crowds in Manhattan, why not take a short subway ride into Brooklyn where some of the funkiest one-of-a-kind gifts are available for purchase at Spring3D, a gallery and exhibition rolled into one.

Kiln Enamel’s mod jewelry is just one of the many designers featured.

This jewelry line was launched in 2001 at the Brooklyn studio of Elissa Ehlin and James Leritz. Since then, the vibrant colors and simple elegant design of their work have caught the eye of every type of customer, from fellow New York artists to the fashion and celebrity elite of Los Angeles.

Exclusive lines are currently in development for the likes of Bergdorf Goodman, Sushi Samba, Holt Renfrew, and Kate Spade.

You will also find a unique selection of colorful hand made quilts and brilliant mobiles from Denise Carbonell, Gabe Brown’s silk striped pillows, and stylish revamped housewares from Michael Whitney, among others.

This exhibition provides a great alternative to the crazy holiday shopping. And it will not break your pocket book too.
