I find that museum shops have the most fabulous items if you are looking for something unique. I am the type of person that does not like to have the same thing everyone else has. I like to be different. These shops allow you to find some of the most artful, inspiring, highly sophisticated products.
I had to start with one of my favorites, The Metropolitan Museum of Art store. I am in ♥ with these new earrings!!
Apple Blossom Hoop Earrings $100.00
Louis C Tiffany View of Oyster Bay with Soap $30.00
Russian Imperial Large Egg Christmas Ornament Set $60.00
You will find some of the most unique gifts at the shop of MOMA, and they have a large selection online as well
Toast It Coasters $10
Mr. Morgan's Tea $9.95
Red Sox Baseball Cufflinks $168.00
Blue Bow Bracelet 75.00 (British pounds)
Wink Vase $54.50
Art Glass Pumpkin $40.00
Enchanted Tree Hand Puppet $48.00
Owl Pitcher $25.00
These are just a f r a c t i o n of what is out there, if you have a favorite museum, check online to see if they have a shop. Most of them do ship items outside of their areas, and I really rather have things shipped than have to carry them all day while traveling. If you are looking for items that are totally unique for yourself or a gift, museum shops are the way to go!

I'm so glad I'm not alone. I'm obsessed with shopping at the Museum Shops. To be honest sometimes I enjoy that portion a bit more than the exhibits. lol
Love the jewelry, books and magnets at the MET shop. My favorite coffee mug is from there too.
:)
Have a great week Ro!
