“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.”
“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!”

“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!”

“Joy gifts is the best store on the planet. I went for the first time recently and the vibes were impeccable. As soon as I walked in there was a wall full of jellycats and taylor swifts new album was playing on the speaker. The employee there (possible owner) was nothing but kind and made our shopping experience even more wonderful. Highly recommend shopping here. 10/10 experience.”

“Patina Green brings a carefully styled presence to Concord Center, blending garden-inspired design with seasonal displays that change throughout the year.
The shop is known for its mix of plants, home décor, gifts, and outdoor accents, often arranged with an eye toward texture, color, and natural materials. It attracts both casual visitors and locals looking for something distinctive rather than mass-produced.
Patina Green reflects Concord’s quieter retail culture, where independent shops emphasize craftsmanship, atmosphere, and repeat visits, adding to the town center’s reputation as a place shaped by small, thoughtful businesses. #PatinaGreen #ConcordMA #ShopLocal #ShopSmall #ConcordCenter”
“If you need traditional gifts for Catholic occasions, this is a very good bet. They even turned around some engraving on sole silverware for me within 36 hours. While there are other gift shops in the area, this is the only one I’m aware of that does the traditional catholic thing in depth.”
“Went in Looking For, Crystal Sun catchers to see if the others in the Littleton store was damaged, and these crystals in this store were not damaged and proved to me that the others were definitely damaged. Excellent store manager very nice young man!”
“I place an order online for delivery and had to call the store as I found out the recipient was not going to be home until later in the day. I requested delivery for 4:00 pm. I expected to have an issue and was pleasantly surprised when the customer service rep said “no problem”. They even brought it to the correct door I requested. While this type of service should be standard, these days it’s not so when it happens I celebrate!”
“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!”
