The Museum of Useful things is not only a real museum (in Cambridge, MA), but a great online source for...well...uh...useful things.

The offering of products are bucketed into four areas: House & Home, Personal Use, Office & Home Office and Organize. They have around 70 products total which I think is great because obviously everything is hand selected. It's refreshing to find an online store that isn't totally overwhelming, brimming with some good products, some bad products. While some of their products have a distinctly retro look, others are 100% minimalist. They have something for everyone - from can openers to staplers to storage bins.

I love this site because everything is very simple, utilitarian and well made. Based on quality/standards, the items are reasonably priced. Standard shipping rates and practices apply.
