Gifted, Boston

Owner, operator, and local artist Marie Corcoran fills Gifted with a bevy of jewelry, pottery, and handbags that she has collected from local craftspeople or made herself. Baby onesies and bibs cover young ones with adorable designs, and her ever-popular collection of handblown glass pieces bedeck walls and mantelpieces with delicate baubles. An ample inventory of thoughtful guy gifts equips gentlemen with watches, ties, and cufflinks tinged with a retro art-deco design and colorful flair. Dog portraits decorate walls with the loyal grin of a black lab or the deeply philosophic gaze of a golden retriever. In addition to her shop, Marie Corcoran helps needy children and families across the world through mission and charity work.
