ISO cute little jars in NYC

Where can I find cute, small, inexpensive jars in NYC?
I have some local honey that needs to be jarred ASAP, and I'd really like to avoid both the delay and the high shipping fees that come from ordering several dozen glass jars online. But even the Container Store has failed me!
I really like these oval hex jars, these square jars and these tureens, in the 3 or 3.75 oz sizes.
Where can I find similar [or other cute, small] jars, reasonably priced, in NYC?

Fishs Eddy on 17th and Broadway will definitely have them. I bought a very nice flip-top 2L canister there for $8 a while back, and I remember their other stuff being surprisingly not-as-expensive-as-I-thought-it-would-be, so check them out.

The last time I was in am Ikea, they had very cheap super-cute French canning jars. (the kind with the gasket and the lid that clips down). I should have bought a whole bunch.
Also, in a pinch there's mason jars at the grocery store---Ball's got a line of "elite" jars that are quite cute.

I had the same problem last year (also live in NYC) and ended up going with the tureens you linked from The Jar Store. I really liked them, as well as others I ordered from the same place. I know you said you don't want to order online, so this answer may not be kosher, but here's an endorsement anyway in case you can't find anything locally.

2nding Fishs Eddy. Not sure if they have exactly what you need, but they have a TON of dishes/glassware for cheap.

If the restaurant supply stores fail you, there's also Broadway Panhandler (8th and Broadway) and the Bowery Kitchen Supply store in Chelsea Market.
You can always go to Ikea as well.
