“This shop is a gem in Roslindale! When possible, I tend to do most of my shopping locally. Spending money in there community ensures that is stays in the community.As the seasons change, so do the available items here. In the spring, I buy some seeds for the garden. The summer months have products more associated with that. As we head into autumn and winter, the focus shifts toward the holiday season. I always buy some Christmas gifts here for various family and friends.The store is always busy during Small Business Saturday and the holiday markets.They stock a variety of items such as cards, jewelry, home decor, clothing, and lots of localy-themed items such as coasters, towels, and glassware.Everyone who works there is extremely helpful and takes the time to talk with me. This is something that you generally don't get in a large chain store.In conclusion, this is a great store and comes highly recommended by me!”
“It was my first visit here. I love this store and will be back. I bought 2 bottles of waterproof ink and the lady was very helpful and kind. She also told me about a store in New York City, after I mentioned that I was from New York State.”
“I’ve been shopping here for years. There is never a shortage of options for thoughtful, unique and often local gifts. The store is a delight to explore and it is owned and staffed by delightful humans.”
“My son loved the art camp here this summer - and is so proud of what he made. Ms. Grace was so kind and cheerful with the kids. Great mix of learning new skills and having fun. Will definitely sign up again”
“I will definitely be a repeat customer because of the excellent customer service and quality of the product. I live in a rental so these vinyl rugs are perfect for sprucing up my little bathroom. Daren checked in with me on the status of my order before I even realized shipping had been delayed due to snow.”
“One of my favorite stores. I can always count on going to The Crafty Yankee and finding the PERFECT gift for the person I am looking for. The only difficult part is holding myself back from buying for other loved ones and myself while there! I always come out with more than I planned. The beautiful unique items is not the only reason to visit this amazing store. This family run business is owned by the most kind compassionate people I have ever met. They go above and beyond to be helpful. It is clear this is not done just to make a profit but because they genuinely care about their customers and locals that they serve. From my experience they are especially kind and caring to the neighborhood children that come into the store. It is a wonderful feeling knowing our kids have places in town where they are looked after and treated well. I only hope this store continues to thrive !”
“Wonderful collection of old maps and T/transit items. The owner, Steven, is super friendly! He even helped me out by ordering some new magnets of our home T stop for me.”
“One of my favorite stores to buy gifts (for others and for myself)! Unique, beautiful, fun, gifts at a reasonable price ranging from houseware to bags and jewelry; good for Father's Days, Mother's Day, housewarming, birthday, baby showers and any other gift-giving occasion!I also did the decoupage shell making class (as a birthday gift for my sister). It was a fun and unique way to spend a Sunday. And if you haven't seen the decoupage shells that Hilary makes, they are beautiful! I loved getting to make them ourselves.Hilary -- the store owner -- is fantastic! She is creative and friendly and makes a lot of the items herself.”

“Arlington has a few stores where you can buy gifts, but Arlington Centered is the one where I want to gift all the things to myself. Its right on Mass Ave across from Kickstand Cafe and is affiliated with Davis squared in Somerville. Expect to pay for a meter if you drive. There's on street parking and the Arlington Center parking lot which always has space. I always buy my sister-in-law earrings here for Christmas, but really I want them. There are funny gifts, trendy gifts, beautiful gifts. Gifts for foodies, grandmas, babies, etc. Hostess gifts, birthday gifts, holiday gifts, white elephant gifts for your yankee swap. I would not come here to buy gifts for a child. There is Henry Bears Park down the street for that. But other than that you could pretty much buy anybody a gift here.”
“Great place for specialty gift or just something different for your home, cooking, decorating, and so much more. I was very impressed with all the items and had the pleasure of meeting the owner. I’ve lived in Quincy for 60 years and love small business and that bring such brightness to downtown Quincy. Visit , you will not be disappointed.”
“I’ve browsed inside this store a handful of times. Finally I am a customer. I purchased several gifts. Items here are so artistic, unique, and high quality. People who work here are a delight. Great place to shop.”
“It's a great store and nice selection of products but a little pricy. I wait for the coupons to make my purchase and always visit their little mark area in the store as well.”

“Magpie has lots of cute/artsy/quirky gifts! It has quickly become my go-to. They have a good range of things -- art, pottery, books, cards, jewelry, etc. Lots of locally made products too! I've come many times for a last minute gift and never leave empty-handed. It's also a great place just to walk around and browse if you're in the Davis Square area.”
“I love this place and always find gifts. It's a little pricey, but the items are very unique and nice quality. But I must say, the owner and the other women working there are extremely unfriendly and don't always say thank you. I go in there often and in a short period of time I will spend a fair amount of money, but I don't always get a thank you or or much friendliness. It's a shame because it's a nice, local store. I'll continue to go there, but just thought I would give some feedback.”
