The Spice Girls taught us many important lessons, including how to Zig-a-Zig-Ahhh, not to drive in 5-inch platforms (remember the bus crash in the movie?)and the importance of variety.

If it’s choice you want, head to the new Spice Station,
with hundreds of varieties of spices, herbs, salts, peppercorns, teas and chillies that can be ground on site or sent home whole, depending on your preference.  Choose spices from the mosaic-like shelves of the otherwise simple store, or head online to pick up gorgeous gift sets, like the Salt and Pepper set ($55), featuring four peppercorn varieties and six sorts of salt or the Chile set ($40) for those who like it hot.
