The Resource Apothecary

A shelf of chosen
things.

Not a store. Tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll name a few good things — an object, a book, sometimes a practice or something free — and say plainly why each one.

What are you looking for?

Our Shelf

Made by us.

Chosen, not made

The Curated Shelf

Chosen by us, made by others.

Some links on the Curated Shelf earn us a small commission at no cost to you. It never decides what we recommend. Things made by us are linked directly and earn no commission.

How we recommend

  • · We only suggest things we'd choose ourselves, or would give to someone we like.
  • · Few, never many. If a category has nothing worth naming, it stays empty.
  • · Some links earn us a small commission. We're never paid to place something.
  • · We curate and organise. Nothing here is medical, financial, or legal advice, and no object treats anything.

Nothing is bought here. Links open the retailer, who takes the order and ships it. Everything here works without an account — an account only keeps the things you save.

My Apothecary

The things you’ve kept.

Saving is the one part that needs a free account. Anything you save now is held on this device and moves into your account when you sign in.

Nothing kept yet. Save anything above and it will wait here.
