The Boston General Store is a great store to visit. It is like many other stores with "general store" or "country store" in their name in that it has a variety of products for your home. They have stuff for the kitchen, bathroom, and other miscellaneous items like art supplies, tools, and candles. They also carry locally sourced goods like Vermont made jams. A lot of their products seem to be of good quality and they seem to focus on sustainability. For example, they are able to refill soap dispensers to avoid the waste of buying new ones. They also have a very nice selection of quality kitchen knives. If you can't drop by the store, they have a website where you can order many of the same products you see in store. I still recommend going in person for the experience.

Lovely spot I really wanted to check out on our travels. It is a sustainable shoppers dream with lots of Japanese stationary, candles, bath goods, home goods, etc. A look on their website gives you a good idea as to what they sell. It’s such a charming shop! There was some street parking but none was open. We pulled behind the shop to park on a back street and had a lovely walk past the beautiful houses. I would highly highly recommend a visit especially if looking for a gift for yourself or someone else. With our purchase they also gave us some complimentary hand spray. Really thoughtful.

Such a cute store. Unlike most boutique type shops it’s not a bunch of useless junk. Everything is well made with high quality products/ingredients. There is something for everyone. They have serve wear, art supplies, candles, apothecary, a refill station, etc. I would say it’s pretty reasonably priced too it’s not somewhere I would go looking for inexpensive things but somewhere I would go to get high quality things that will last and are fairly priced. I will definitely be coming back. I stuck to the apothecary section and am extremely satisfied with the lotion and deodorant I got. And the staff is equally as wonderful. My dad was looking for oat meal soap and the girl found it for us quickly. I would just ask that you don’t go in and be shocked by the prices because the are 1000% worth it. If you are looking for deals go to Walmart.

Such a cute store! It's the perfect place to find a unique gift for someone (or yourself!) and just fun to walk around. The items are curated from Boston and across the world and there's a small area to fill up bulk reusable containers with things like soap.

Great little store, I’ll definitely be back! This is the only place in MA that I’ve found with Proraso shaving supplies, and at a great price too! Many many high end and high quality Italian, Japanese, and French wares for the bath and home

I love love love this place. Dedham is so lucky to have it! If you want unique gifts, to support local artisans, or to go low-waste shopping (like bring your own container for household product refills) this is the place.

This is an amazing gem tucked away on a side street. So many unique items. If you are looking for a gift, stocking stuffer, or something whimsical and fun, this is the place. I've made sure to make a trip here every Christmas for my hard to buy for. Worth the trip!

Incredible treasure trove of well-curated gifts and treats. The staff offered great customer service and were so friendly. I took my sweet time feasting my eyes on each thoughtful display. Loved the zero-waste items, practical-yet-beautiful household items, and art supplies. Dog-friendly!
