Channel your frosty creativity and make your own gelato. With just a few clicks, your delicious creation will be on its way to your door. From O Magazine: "If you've ever doctored a bowl of boring vanilla or mused aloud on the ratio of Chunky to Monkey, you likely have an answer to Becky App's favorite question: 'What flavor would you be if you were gelato or ice cream?' App herself had so many answers that she cofounded eCreamery, a create-your-own-flavor site that lets you turn your sweet-treat dreams into lush, scoopable reality."

Don't settle for the same boring shoes that everyone else wears -- show off your fun style on your feet. "You can kick up any outfit with a pair of heels that are perfectly you, thanks to the do-it-yourself site Shoes of Prey," says O Magazine. "Click through silhouettes, materials, colors, and embellishments, then scrutinize your design in the 360-degree-view tool. Purple leather slingbacks with silver edging in a size 6? Done. Glittery size 8 peep-toe T-straps with blue bows? In your cart in less than five minutes. All shoes are built by hand and can be returned for any reason."
