“We just had the most wonderful experience here. Christmas Shopping with two toddlers can be a workout, but the owner of the shop not only took the pressure off of me while I shopped for gifts, but she made the experience for my boys’ a special one. She took the time to sit down with them and write a letter to Santa keeping them occupied. Not only was the customer service next level, the uniques pieces make for great gifts! Thank you!!!”
“I had made a purchase just the other night for a mother/daughter pendant for my mom for Mother’s Day from here and I just want to say thank you so much! My mom was shocked to see it in her mailbox in a pretty poppy gift bag. I am beyond happy for the extra thought and the fact that you all home delivered this to her was the icing on the cake. It made Mother’s Day so special for me being so far away! Best service, store and people ever! Happy Mother’s Day to you all! Will for sure be ordering from here again! ?”
“Beautiful shop with a wonderful selection of gifts for everyone. I was helped by the lovely owner, who packaged my purchases with care and saved me having to wrap the one I have to give today! Will visit again. Thank you!”
“This wonderful shop had a great layout, and a very warm staff, but the real draw for me was the variety of gifts and wares. I purchased a beautiful Guan Yin figure and a banner with Dalai Lama quotes. I'm so glad I went in here, and I recommend it to everyone!”
“The staff is super friendly and approachable. The selection is a mix of anime, Disney, Sanrio, and pop culture. They also make charitable donations to food banks and provide meals.”
“This talented woman has wonderful gifts - particularly if you are looking for something to remember your visit to Gloucester and Cape Ann. Pauline is so friendly and helpful you will feel like you have made a new friend!”
“ABSOLUTELY love this place!! Always find super cute stuff here and the staff is so helpful and friendly. Kids selection is so cute--candy, bows, cute little gifts!!!”
“Made my first purchase today and I will be a returning customer. Their art is Beautiful ? and priced very reasonably. Thanks to Annie's for the great experience.”
“Every once in a while, you get the chance to step back in time to a place that seems the same as in your childhood! Nichols Candies ? is just this kind of place. Almost at the end of Route 128 at the Rust Island exit, Nichols Candies has been selling beautiful home made chocolates and candies for almost a century. Easter week has som many wonderful chocolate bunnies, eggs, and Easter baskets. Service is friendly. Gift wrapping is free. The seaside view from the store is fantastic! Absolutely delightful place! Plenty of parking available.”
“Taking a detour off Market Square, I came upon Inn Street, a very narrow one-lane street that has been closed off to form a pedestrian mall with shops. The first one was the Brass Lyon. This shop has a nautical theme which fits well in this coastal city that was once a bustling seaport. Inside, I found a variety of merchandise. On the lower level, I saw T-shirts, sport caps, and jewelry cases as well as compasses. Chelsea clocks and weather instruments hung above the main area. Upstairs, I found a lot of models of sailing ships – yachts and old tall ships. I particularly liked one that was gaff-rigged which is my preferred rigging because it provides more sail area for the same mast height which means less hardware and other benefits. There were a lot of brass items that included door knockers and plaques. One unusual item was called Shark Off. It was a piece of jewelry that was supposed to repel sharks. As with most Newburyport shops, everything here was quality. I rate Brass Lyon at 4.50 and can recommend a visit. The reason for the delay in submitting this review was due to a months-long loss of my ability to post photos with my reviews. If you found this review useful, please click HELPFUL.”

“This is a a really, really nice store. I make it a point to visit when I am in Newburyport. There is a vague French theme but mostly the items are high end housewares. Kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom. There is a smattering of food items, mostly canned and bottled stuff. I'm terms of the staff, I've never had a problem. They are waspy looking North Shore women of a certain age. What do you want? They ring me up and I'm on my way.”
“Very cute store with unique gifts and nicknacks. they also keep some clothing items but not too many. Nicely decorated and cozy feeling. prices are on the high end.”

“Anytime you needs special gift or something unique for yourself, stop into Sweetwater! Marybeth takes great care in stocking her boutique store with products specific to the local area, beautiful pieces from local artists, hand picked sea glass, and more! There is something for everyone and be sure to take your time... it’s a treasure hunt each time!”
“I was so excited to see this place pop up in one of my favorite old buildings- we dream in color has been my go-to for thank you gifts and little treats for myself. I have bought every post card they have, and am obsessed with the range of items. Everything in here ranges from whimsical to playful to elegant. Highly recommend!”
