Canoe

With its emphasis on natural materials and clean lines, this airy home accessories boutique feels like the type of place you'd come across in Stockholm—designery and modern yet really fun. For gift-giving, Canoe proves exceptionally spot-on with its satisfying range of special-but-practical items, like Pendleton's classic striped wool blankets and delicate glass bud vases made in Japan.
