Dead Roses...This company sells lovely dead roses! They make a nice gothy alternative to the usual dozen roses sort of gift. I'd personally love to get some myself!
Tenebrae...Purveyors of Fine Parasols, who carry some of the most exquisite parasols ever in velvet, vinyl, and lace! My personal favortite (and the only one I own as of yet) is their velvet parasol. Absolutely breathtaking!
Urban Decay...A nice company based in California, with some great colors. Very pricey though, so prepare to break out the gold card. The price tag is almost always worth it, though the colors are poorly represented on the site. My favorite shades are Plague, Gash, Kiss, Metropolitan (lipstick), and Eden's Expressway.
AdHoc London...This British company carries the most exquisite shoes in the world! The have a great selection of goth shoes with lovely pointy toes, club shoes, platforms, go-go boots, everything! Note: If you're in London, check out their retail store. It's packed full of lovely, lucious footwear.
Dark Garden...Based in San Francisco, this company is world famous for their high quality, exquisite corsets, available in many designs and fabrics. Be prepared to spend a pretty penny though. If you're in San Francisco, make sure to pop into their showroom.
Stormy Leather...One of the world leaders in leather/fetish wear. They also have an exquisite collection of corsets in a variety of leather and vinyl, as well as a wickedly delightful collection of toys.
Unspun Records...Great for those hard to find cd's.
Vampire Vineyards...The makers of fine wines with a vampy twist.
Archaic Manuscripts...A shop with gorgeous gothy stationery, cards, etc. Some of my favorite items include the Gashly Crumbs Tinies Notepad, the Silver Web Pen, the Blackened Culture Stationery, and Sealing Wax and Seals.
Monolith Graphics...Home to the Gothic/Fantasy artist Joseph Vargo, who is AMAZINGLY talented. Check out the selection of posters, stickers, postcards, stationery, and t-shirts that are available through the website. Some of my favorite pieces include "Vampire's Kiss", "Gargoyles", "Dark Tower", and "Born of the Night".

Rupert Huse & Son...Makers of bdsm furniture as well as basic equipment and toys like gags, clamps, restraints, collars, etc. They also have a really cool artsy variation of the Wurtenburg Wheel. There's also a beautifully crafted birdcage type thing for caging up your sub. They do custom work as well, and from the samples on the site, they can create some gorgeous stuff.
Stormy Leather...Their online store allows you to purchase lovely toys online. My personal favorites are Stormy's Rubber Paddle (delightfully stingy) and their Chain Wrist Restraints.
