“We got our Ketubah for our wedding from Kolbo. We loved the selection and variety to choose from. The staff was so helpful and patient with us. We especially appreciated Miriam's help proofreading our ketubah before printing. On other trips, we also got our breaking glass and a gorgeous Havdalah set too.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

Found something for her (a beautiful candle) and a few smaller things for my kiddos. Will definitely be back as I'm shopping for holiday gifts for friends, family, teachers, etc.”
“This was a great place to host a birthday party. Dani communicated all details prior to the event. During the party, she adapted the painting for the kids and added fun mixed media elements. She was engaged with them for the entire two hours and gave great, clear instructions. Everybody went home with a beautiful finished product and two kids even said it was the best birthday party ever! Thank you so much, Dani.”

“Was last minute holiday shopping and the woman helping us was so so lovely and went above and beyond to help us make our holiday great! So thankful for the amazing service!”
“I’ve shopped here for years and my most treasured clothing comes from here! The women who work in the store are so sweet, friendly, and helpful. They always remember me when I come in. I miss the old days when they sold furniture, but I love the children’s section and have found some great home decorations in the current setup.”
“I've been a costumer to this amazing store for more than 12 years. And always loved it! Great selection of ideas for gifts, and the owners are super nice! So is the cashier who always greets you with a warm "hello". Reading Peter V. comments on here, saying that he was (or maybe more like THEY were - they, being a group of young kids) "chased out" of the store (with a fist) I'm certain that the reason the cashier had to ask them to leave the store was validated by the fact this GROUP of young teenagers were disrespectful to the store merchandise (were you there Peter V?), by trying on a few items and throughing them back in the shelves. Not just nicely placing the items back, they were actually throwing things like eye glasses and other things around after posing with the merchandise for pictures. Kids these days lack good manners. And that is not an acceptable attitude to be proud of... you may be a parent "protecting" your offspring, but first of all, good mannered we learn from home!”
“Wonderful store, with an amazing selection of gifts, home goods, antiques, accessories, and more. Great service with employees who clearly care about the products, and do some of the best free gift-wrapping I’ve ever seen. A bonus: ask the shopkeepers about Nantucket baskets! This place also happens to be one of the best basket studios outside of the island. The owner is a master basket weaver who is well known on Nantucket.”
