Unique sites for buying ordinary things

 

I’m a big believer in elevating the everyday. From dustpan and broom sets to bottles of olive oil and jewelry storage solutions, it’s the items you use and touch the most that become the most important to get right. If you’re able to appreciate beautifully designed items in your daily routines, I find it’s a shortcut to lifting spirits.

In no particular order (but with a bit of a bias toward Boston-based shops!) here are some of my favorite IRL and online shops to fill the gaps in your day-to-day with something special.
