Small Small Museum
Hidden behind el Willy is this eccentric Japanese shop, which rents out 12in-by-12in boxes to Shànghǎi artists and designers. It’s as much a study in personalities as it is a place to shop for gifts – some people cram their box full, others choose to highlight just one or two creations. Items on sale range from the hokey (Shànghǎi pet photos) to the unusual (kimono fabrics) to the quotidian (candles).

Duoyunxuan Art Shop
A multistorey, traditional-looking building (look for the two enormous calligraphy brushes outside) with an excellent selection of art and calligraphy supplies. The 2nd floor is one of the best places for heavy art books, both international and Chinese, and the 3rd floor houses antiques and some excellent calligraphy and brush-painting galleries. You can get your own chop made here.

Liúligōngfáng
If you like the decor at TMSK you’ll definitely want to check out this one-of-a-kind crystal-art shop next door, where you can marvel at iridescent cast-glass creations such as a contemplative monk (Y1165) and exquisite earrings (Y600) and pendants (Y520). There are nine branches around town.

Shànghǎi Museum Shop
This shop sells excellent but expensive imitations of museum pieces, which are far superior to the mediocre clutter in tourist shops.
