Any nice looking or "WOW" effect looking for HTML select

Question

Previously, I am using

<select size="8">
<option>Item 1</option>
<option>Item 2</option>
<option>Item 3</option>
<option>Item 4</option>
<option>Item 5</option>
<option>Item 6</option>
<option>Item 7</option>
<option>Item 8</option>
<option>Item 9</option>
</select>

provide a JList box liked place, to hold a collections of item, to let user have a simple view to browse about items.

However, the look of this kind of pure HTML element doesn't look shinning.

Have anyone of you come across any similar widget/ JavaScript library/ CSS template ... which will make this List Box look great?

Thanks
