William James Gifts
About
William James Gifts is a Milton gift shop built around gourmet gluten-free food, gifts and gift baskets. Everything sold in the shop is gluten free, and every product comes from a small business, about 70 percent of them owned by women. Shoppers can choose from home goods, a gluten-free pantry section and a Local Love collection featuring makers from Milton, Dorchester and Boston, along with ready-made basket collections in several sizes.
Owner Calli McPherson grew up watching her mother run a gift store and always wanted a shop of her own. She has celiac disease, which is why the food products are all gluten free, though the treats are meant for anyone. Beyond individual shoppers, the business serves as a gifting partner to corporations, helping teams build programs for employee and customer appreciation, client relationships and seasonal or special-occasion gifts.
