Magpie is a funky gift shop located in Somerville's Davis Square that carries hip handmade crafts, goods by indie designers and works by local artists. Whimsical hipness is this store's niche which includes funny and sometimes ironic T-shirts designed by Abnormal Urban Clothing and the shop's crow-like spokesbird available on shirts and other goods.

Davis Squared begins where the now defunt Pluto left off. In fact, this new Davis Square shop proudly displays the old Pluto sign from its Elm Street heyday. Perfect for browsing or last-minute birthday or holiday shopping, Davis Squared carries an eclectic mix of cards, books, candles, women's and men's casual clothing, cosmetics, jewelry, furniture, household goods, and everything else in between. Davis Squared personifies the emerging artsy, funky vibe that makes Davis Square special.

This mecca of domesticity recently relocated from Harvard Square to Davis Square. Chock full of honey-scented candles, stacks of stainless strainers, smooth-wooden bowls, and custom doorknobs will add to any cookie-cutting life-style. A smaller and more eclectic alternative to nearby Crate & Barrel, Bowl & Board offers a modest selection of classy furniture (tables $40-495, lamps $100-235), in addition to picture frames, floormats, and kitchen extras such as fine teas and egg timers. Look out for the somewhat imposing wall of clocks ($20-$242), with vintage as well as sleek metallic models all ticking and tocking in unison.

While McIntyre and Moore may not boast as many titles as Widener, it's much easier to browse and navigate through this crowded used bookstore's 85,000 books organized by 300 subject areas. Specializing in books which are out-of-print and generally scholarly in their subject matter (although there is a small fiction and literature section), most books are in excellent condition and sell for half the list price or less. Bookworms will delight in special “foot” deals—10% off a foot of books, 15% off 2ft., 20% off 3ft—and a Frequent Buyer Card that gives you 10% off your next purchase for every $100 spent. McIntyre and Moore also buys books of all types (but no textbooks, and call before bringing in your collection for evaluation) for 17-25% the expected sale price, which for most is about $5-9.
