I love The Grateful Thread, from its name to its overall concept. The Grateful Thread is essentially a plush rock and roll store with plush guitars, musicians and much more. They also sell clocks made out of old vinyl and kitsch accessories; for me, however, this is the weaker part of their product range.
All in all, it is a pretty cool site, and a perfect one when trying to find a perfect present for that unpredictable teen age group.
