I tried to keep it relatively economical, so very few things here will be more than $100.
If your recommendation didn't make this list, I tried to add it to the Kaboodle list or bookmark the larger sites for a future post of their own.
My Favorites
This section is my personal gift list -- the things I really want for Christmas!
I can't afford an Eric Freitas clock, but this print of his Mechanical Clock Number 6 fascinates me. $20.
Think Geek's Molecular Gastronomy Kit. Not very Victorian, but these edible chemical experiments in the kitchen would be a lot of fun. $59.99
Dark Nostalgia
I cannot wait to read this design book. $29.70 at Amazon.
Zeppelin Tin Toy, $10.98. My zeppelin obsessed steampunklet is *so* getting this. Tin Toy Arcade actually has 4 different zeppelin designs.
The Private House
is the prettiest home book I've read all year -- full of antiques, natural materials, and simple yet elegant rooms. Nothing explicitly steampunk here, but if you like my taste you will probably like this book too. $37.50.Etsy Finds

I don't think I've ever broken three figures), I need to let you know that no one is paying me for recommending any of these things, but that the Amazon links do provide a small referral fee.
