The new store features a search tool, interactive 3-D preview functionality, and a customization widget that allows customers to create and design products to their liking starting from available design templates.
It provides a wide range of products to browse, like jewelry, toys, home décor and fashion accessories. A number of moderately priced products are available for under $40, such as cufflinks, bobble head figurines and unique wine glass holders. For a little more, at the $100 price range, customized fashion accessories such as pendants, earrings and necklaces can be created and printed.
