Last-Minute Gift Ideas from Komoda

For 5 years, Sherri Gregorcyk has been helping us find gifts for our loved ones, often at the last minute (we're procrastinators). We first met Sherri when she worked at RR#1, a beautiful Chicago apothecary-turned-giftshop. Now she owns Komoda, a refurbished hardware store filled with gifts for design lovers. We talked with Sherri and snooped around the shop to find some suggestions for those of you still looking for holiday gifts...
