AWOL

What an amazingly positive experience. I was happy with the selection and pricing when shopping,…read morebut what was truly amazing was after the purchase. I had bought a suit coat and pants for a wedding. I went to the wedding in the suit and realized upon getting home that I had sat on something that had caught and created rips in the seat of the pants. (Don't ask how I did not know what I had done when I did it, but yes, the wedding party was great FUN.) I took them back to see if they could be fixed. Nothing could be done. Knowing that this was my fault, they gave me another set of the pants. Seriously??? In this day and age??? It is really nice to feel like you are dealing with real people going the extra mile to be kind. Thank you.

We stumbled upon Boston General Store & it's literally awesome! This store is a great place to go to get unique gifts for others, or for yourself, who don't really need anything but nice to have. I loved the stationary goods section and was ecstatic to find they had mechanical pencils with 2.0 mm lead! This was my favorite lead to write with growing up but I was never able to find them in the U.S. (I would bring these pencils back from Asia). So, it was very nostalgic for me when I saw them & wrote on the notepad with it! I didn't end up purchasing it because I found $12 to be quite steep for one singular pencil that I have no use for currently BUT I do see myself coming back for it haha. They also had a bunch of different home essentials like soaps, honey, & jams here, which I found to be pretty cool & unique. I would definitely come back again to grab some pens & to find gifts!

They bring a high-tech lens to everything they do, and whenever they launch something new it always offers something innovative that no one else is doing. The clothes themselves can be washed and dried, and are comfortable enough for work-from-home wear but nice enough to wear to a real meeting (you know, when we have those again). Also, they can be washed and dried. Full stop. No "tumble dry low." No pilling or wrinkling or shrinking. But they also sell coats now, which are incredible - the Mercury jacket is heated and can be controlled by an app or by buttons within the jacket.
