What: Make Your Own Bath Salts, The Nature’s Co, Palladium, Phoenix Mills Compound, 2nd floor,
Why: Because playing mad scientist with the pretty, subtly scented bath salts at this new beauty store – you get to pick favorites and bottle them into test tubes – is almost as fun as actually using them. We particularly love the tangerine and cinnamon fragrances.
When: You want to be worthy of a You-Reek-Ah! Go before October 19, and get a complimentary facial and health drink.

What: Wrought iron miniature automobiles, Earth, Inorbit, R City and Phoenix Mills Malls, call 26349074, starts at Rs 1,250.
Why: Because these mini auto rickshaws and bicycles, replicated down to fully functional chains and steering wheels, are a perfect melding of childhood whimsy and adult aesthetics. If you want to go all out, bag the life-size Harley Davidson, constructed entirely from wood.
When: You want to toy with the past.
