Where I shop as a local in Salem
The questions I get most often from people visiting in Salem are “Where should we eat?” and “What should we do?” so I wrote these blogs: What to eat in Salem Massachusetts and The Best Museums in Salem according to a local
Well, the next question is usually asking where I shop in town. I obviously don’t shop in the touristy shops. I live here, I don’t need a Salem t-shirt or overpriced cheesy spell kits. So I won’t be rating every shop in town like I’ve done in the other two recommendation blogs. There are so many, some I’ve never even stepped foot in. I’m just going to tell you my favorite places and what I like to buy there…
Tibetan Arts & Healing- Gifts, clothes, bags, singing bowls, etc.
Die With Your Boots On & The Ossuary– Dark edgy clothes and shoes.
Hive and Forge– Handcrafted gifts from local artists.
Village Silversmith– Crystals and jewelry.
Pamplemousse– Kitchenware and liquor/wine/beer.
Modern Millie– Retro-Inspired dresses and clothes.
Emporium 32– Antique-y cool stuff.
Diehl Marcus– Tea and gifts.
District Trading Company– Great t-shirts. Maybe even some I would buy.
Witch City Wicks– Candles.
Salem Flea– Thrift and Antiques.
Coven– Witchy stuff
Stardust– Witchy stuff. Honorable mention because one of my best friends owns it.
Wicked Wardrobe– Cool consignment shop.
And if I’m shopping for gifts, I go to all the shops on Front Street. My favorites: Nocturne, Oak & Moss, Good Neighbor, Roost, Spruce.
That’s all I can think of for now. I’m sure there are other places I shop but these are the stores that stick out in my mind. Happy shopping.
