What: Sanctum, Vasant House, E/86-1012, 19th Road (lane after Fabindia), Khar (W), call 9820079109, view the Facebook group here, coffee mugs for Rs 80.

Why: Furniture strips down its fluff and festoon to bare iron legs, industrial shelves and distressed drawers at this new home store where ornate is a no-no and some products are “not even necessarily pretty”. Employing staff from the recently shut down Contemporary Arts  and Crafts, here you’ll also find dishes by The Freedom Tree, jewellery inspired by steel bartans and a pretty ikhat top by Brass Tacks .

When: Bare in mind, it opens tomorrow, October 6.

What: Cremica mayonnaise by the bottle, call Neelam Aunty at 9821501151, pick up from a Khar home, price on request.

Famous for her home cooking classes and fiercely passionate about burgers, Neelam aunty remedies this travesty by sourcing and retailing the brand straight out of her home. Condiment queen!

When: You want to enrol into Mayo College.

When: You want to dick and choose.
