“The Paper Mouse is a fun little stationery store. It’s fun to stop by occasionally to pick up something I haven’t seen before. They have all sorts of cards, stamps, drawing supplies, and general stationery-related gifts.
Parking is ok — just typical street parking. But once you get inside the shop, you get a good idea of what a whimsical place it is.
I went once, when they had a stamp demo event, and they let me keep the little page with the stamps. Events can get pretty crowded, so if you’re going just to shop, try to stop by on a non-event day.”
“I've been coming here for Adult Pottery Classes for 5 semesters now. Bel is a fantastic teacher, and I really gravitate to her education style. There is such a spectrum of experience/skill amongst my classmates, but the positive and collaborative environment enables us all to create alongside each other without any imposter syndrome.
I totally recommend this studio for anyone who wants to try pottery on the wheel.”
“Literally my favorite place to shop for both myself and others! They have so many handmade items that are perfect gifts for any occasion! They also have the cutest selection of clothing. Something for everyone here! Will be back many times”
“I hosted a private workshop for a friend's birthday at Albertine Press and was absolutely blown away.
The instructor was phenomenal. Not only did she expertly walk us through the printing process to create our own custom stationary, but she created a sense of welcome and fun that disarmed even the most craft-averse of our group.
It was clear to me from the moment I started working with Albertine that they cared deeply about making our experience special. They put a huge amount of effort into making our party look and feel effortless. They exceeded every expectation. I cannot recommend them highly enough!”
“If there is one place I could visit in all of Boston before I left Boston, it would be this store! It has the most hidden gems - ranging from transit merch to vintage maps about almost every place you can think of! It also doubles up as a great used books store! This place feels more like a museum than a store, and truly is the collection of a lifetime!”

“My husband and I were passing through Concord and decided to stroll through the various shops on Main Street. We almost missed this captivating shop, it truly is a must stop. Located (kinda hidden) above Main Street Market and Cafe, the store is so beautifully decorated that as you walk from room to room you feel like you are exploring another world of whimsy and magic. As you browse through the remarkable curated goods from home decor, to clothing, to jewelry, to the most adorable trinkets; you will feel like you are in a fairytale. There are twinkle lights mixed with nature decor with the sounds of the forest playing around you. The little 10 year old girl who once loved playing pretend was enchanted as I combed through the selections.
My husband and I met the owner, who was so friendly and helpful. She let us know coming back for the holidays is must, to see how they transform the shop for the season. We can’t wait!”
“Kolbo is the most beautifully curated Judaica shop I have visited in the U.S. the team has great taste and a keen eye. This is not your bubbie’s Judaica shop. The stores is full of light and offers a combination of modern and traditions items, from kiddish cups to katubahs. Also a great collection of Jewish art and jewelry. Great vibe. Highly recommend.”
“What a fabulous giftshop. I signed up for a class that was held in the back of the store. The class was to make a hand scorched cheese tray. Before class I had the chance to walk around the store and look at all the fabulous gifts. Staff was super nice and helpful when I had questions. They offer great hands on class all year...and a wide selection of cute gifts. I look forward to taking another class and buying gifts there...”

“Such a fun experience! The employees were super nice and went out of their way to show me products that weren't even on display. I left with things that I loved (all Pokemon products).There are a ton of Studio Ghibli things, so definitely stop by if you like that. I was surprised to see that they had Ponyo merch. Haven't seen that anywhere!”

“On Centre always has the cutest trinkets, gifts, and clothes!! I especially love coming in and looking at their Jellycat collection, just for a pick-me-up (but I find it really hard to walk away without buying anything). Also, the staff are always super friendly!”
“Bodhi Leaf ... Wow! An amazing Tibetan gift shop full of wonderful clothes, fabric wall hangings, inscence, jewlery, Buddhist items and more. The owner was wonderful to speak with and we made several purchases. We will be back to buy more when we visit Boston next time.”
“Such a beautiful store! Spent a long time there yesterday choosing gifts and looking at the beautiful prints, fabrics, wallpaper, and shades. I know they're going to inspire some very cool future projects! A treasure in the neighborhood.”
“I attended the fabric ornament-making workshop at Maxima Gift Center and absolutely loved it! We created beautiful handmade ornaments by pinning fabric onto foam balls, such a fun and relaxing process. Our instructor, Candace, was wonderful. She explained each step clearly and was right there to help whenever we got stuck.
I left with one finished ornament and a full kit to make another at home. Highly recommended!”
“Love this place!! They have every book you’d ever seek on all ritual art subjects and great insight if you don’t know which to get. Their jewelry is gorgeous and handmade. I love every piece I’ve ever bought, even found matching crystal studs of the same crystal”
“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.”
“Adorable gift shop full of lots of fun things anyone in your life would like! I love supporting this local business and local artists. I especially love the kids book selection”
“The Journey Within product line has to be one of the best skincare and self-exploration collections I’ve tried in a long time. The scent collection is incredibly calming and instantly puts your mood at ease. The lotion lasts for hours, and the consistency is rich, creamy, and not watered down at all. It leaves your skin feeling soft, hydrated, and glowing. Definitely a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend! ?✨”
“What a delight to come back to my home town and visit Sweet SurpriZe. Heidi’s store has something for everyone from clothing with the old Sachem logo and new logo to water bottles, draw string bags, candy and more. I highly recommend this store. Mim Quine, class of 76’.”
“Avery is my go to gift store all year round. The selection of gifts is thoughtful and well curated. It puts me in a great frame of mind just walking into the store. Chris and Ellie are friendly and helpful and never overbearing. Selection of cards is excellent for any occasion. It is a pleasure to shop there and I highly recommend!! There is something for everyone on your list here.”
“Had an amazing time at a private painting party. The owner was very helpful and delightful. The store has all kinds of neat little goodies. Looking forward to going back.”
“I visited looking for greeting cards, and was pleased to find an excellent selection. The store is the largest Paper Store I've ever seen, and I'll return whenever I need the types of products they offer.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Comforting Gift That Keeps on Giving!
I received Grandma’s Chicken Noodle Soup with fresh bread as a gift, and it was absolutely delightful from the moment it arrived. The packaging was incredibly thoughtful and secure — you could tell care was put into every detail.
The soup itself was rich, flavorful, and heartwarming — exactly what you’d expect from something made with love. The chicken was tender, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the broth tasted like something straight out of grandma’s kitchen. The fresh bread that came with it was soft and the perfect companion to the soup.
I enjoyed it so much that I ended up ordering the soup and bread bowl combo as a gift for a coworker just a few days later! This is now my go-to comfort food gift. Whether it’s for someone who’s under the weather, needs a little cheering up, or just deserves something delicious, Grandma’s Chicken Soup hits the spot every time.
Highly recommend!”
“We went shopping for a gift with my 2yo today. Staff is friendly and informative. We love the lovely and extensive collection there! This is the kind of store that makes me want to be there instead of online shopping!”
“This store is so cute! Davis Sq if my favorite part of Somerville, it's very neighborly and this store encapsulates what I love most about the area! The workers are so nice, going so far as personally picking up some jewelry for me that was out of stock at this location at their sister store as I don't have a car. Will definitely be back, thanks!”
“Holly was very helpful and kind. I was tempted to just order everything I needed online, but going to the store was much more informative and ended up saving money!”
“I have enjoyed shopping here for years, and all the recipients love their gifts. I went in today asking for a batterie that Donnellan's did not have in stock, they did not carry any but the store keep had an extra and gave it to me free of charge!Support local briskness, because they support you in a multidude of ways!”
“I recently did the Kintsugi workshop at Graymist and had such a lovely time! The instructor was very knowledgable and kind, and the class was small so that lots of individual attention could be paid to each student. And the shop itself is beautiful, with a unique collection of high quality crafts. Overall I highly recommend their classes and as a destination for a special gift, for yourself or others.”

“What a find! The Crafty Yankee is one of those great little shops where you want to take everything home. It's just full of perfectly picked items that make you think, 'Yep, that would look great in my house.' It's officially my new go-to for gifts, and the fact that they'll gift wrap for you is a huge plus. You’ll find a great mix of things—cool jewelry, amazing-smelling candles, stylish glassware, and cozy sweatshirts, just to name a few. They also have the best selection of Lexington 250th anniversary stuff I've seen around. I honestly can't believe it took me this long to discover this place!”
