Five Tips

  1. 1 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended DSW Shoes - Boston
    Read Reviews

    385 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02108 (map)

    Join the store's Reward Your Style program for a $25 gift certificate after spending $250. It also entitles you to a $5 gift certificate on your birthday.

  2. 2 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Bliss Home
    Read Reviews

    225 Newbury St, Boston, MA 02116 (map)

    The store offers complimentary gift-wrapping and shipping on all registry purchases, and the newlyweds receive a 10 percent discount on all purchases after the wedding.

  3. 3 3 Star Rating: Average Louis Boston
    Read Reviews

    234 Berkeley St, Boston, MA 02116 (map)

    Much like Louis itself, the store's cafe (which serves one mean BLT) is not for those on a budget.

  4. 4 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Virgin Megastore
    Read Reviews

    360 Newbury St, Boston, MA 02115 (map)

    Stop by at 12am on Mondays; the store stays open an extra half-hour to give customers first crack at Tuesday's new releases.

  5. 5 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Wrentham Village Premium Mall
    Read Reviews

    1 Premium Outlet Blvd, Wrentham, MA 02093 (map)

    Try to avoid visiting right before or after an event at nearby Gillette Stadium, when traffic grinds to a complete halt.
