"Don&amp;#039;t you love to go to your favorite boutique, where it seems like the owner has picked out items just for your taste? Well these two online companies take the concept a step further: They have designers submit ideas for approval, and then they only produce the items that you, the shopper (along with the other voters, of course), deem the best.    Minted.com is a stationery company that does everything from wedding invitations to photo calendars, but each design you can buy is actually one that&amp;#039;s been chosen through a rating system. Designs are constantly submitted, and they run contests before big holidays to get in even more ideas.    RedClayHome.com does more home furnishings stuff\u2014check out these winning pillows from their website. They just finished up a pottery contest, and have a lighting competition coming up soon\u2014so stay tuned for that! And if you&amp;#039;re a budding designer yourself, click here for Minted&amp;#039;s rules and here for RedClay. You never know, you might just get elected!
