When it comes to shopping, there's no better place to spend your time and money than at a small business or boutique. These shops often make their own wares or source small batches from other brands or artisans, resulting in unique looks and objects with plenty of personality. This rings true in fashion, kitchen goods, home decor and art, so whether you're looking to treat yourself or give a thoughtful gift, consider shopping local first. Here are 16 Columbus shops and boutiques we love! MEN'S AND WOMEN'S CLOTHING
