C.M. Manfredi’s Emporium of Wonders

Everything on this list is steeped in creativity, but C.M. Manfredi's creations are truly unlike anything else you'll find in the city. If run-of-the-mill stuffed animals and toys are just too dull for you, check out their spiders, unicorns and yetis.

The Cuddle Cult

Barr’s Bars, Ltd.

13005 Larchmere Blvd., Shaker Heights, 216-309-2217
You can pick up some of Barr's bars at a handful of shops around town, and it's worth it — you probably won't find scents like Mint French Clay or Egyptian Geranium Rose at your local drugstore.
