What it is: A toy shop and "mecca" for weird toys.

Why it's cool: Archie McPhee is the toy store in Seattle for kids and grownups alike. People come for party favors, gag gifts, pranks, candy, and the more "typical" toys and games.

What it is: A handbag rental service.

Why it's cool: Bag Borrow or Steal gained a huge amount of publicity and some of its "coolness" factor thanks to the first Sex and the City movie. But what really makes it cool is that instead of having to purchase expensive luxury bags, you can rent them. It's a great service for people who want to try a bag out before buying it, for people who need who need a bag for a special occasion, or for those who have constantly evolving tastes.
