Copley Place is a Back Bay favorite.
Sometime next month, we’ll collectively look at the calendar and have a mini panic attack as we count the slim number of days left for holiday shopping. Roaming the city is wonderful, but roaming for luxe buys in one spot has its perks—especially before Thanksgiving. Some of the best shopping in Boston can be found in Back Bay at Copley Place. Here are our favorites all year and for the gift- giving days ahead. 100 Huntington Ave., copleyplace.com
