I've grown more and more interested as of late in locally designed and made crafts. I don't like the word "crafts", it makes me think of things that are a lot lower quality than what I'm talking about. Well, that's what those that create them call it, so that's what it is.

Magpie, in Davis Square, is "a gift store that carries hip handmade crafts, goods by indie designers and works by local artists," like this "Boys are awful" journal (we really are awful, aren't we?).
