“Very lovely store with all sorts of unique items. Beautiful minerals for display and jewelry. So much to look at and enjoy in the calming atmosphere.can’t wait to go back.”
“I've always been obsessed with their work and I finally got my first tattoo here and I love it so much. They do such a good job and I know I will be returning.”
“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”
“Paper and Clay is a fantastic place to find pieces by local artists or to take a pottery class and create your own unique piece of art! The pottery wheel session was fun and relaxing. The owner, Leslie, is very knowledgeable and the class was the perfect way to introduce pottery to a beginner. .”
“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!!!”
“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...”
“I had high hopes for this florist since I wanted something special for a friend's birthday. The flowers were beautiful, but the arrangement was a bit off. Still, the service was nice, and they tried to help me find something I liked. Overall, decent experience.”
“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!”

“I've been shopping at Cardsmart for almost 20yrs now and I wouldn't go anywhere else to buy greeting cards. They have large selection of cards and they're all half price.
They also sell all kinds of things such as jewelry, children's toys, apparel and accessories.”

“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”
“This gallery is a must if you are in Malden! It hosts artwork from local artists, thus supporting local art (paintings, vase, pottery etc)! The gallery assistants were very friendly and happy to share with us the story of many of local artists. As tourists we bought a small painting to remind us of our trip to Boston. I highly recommend it!”
“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’.”

“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.”
“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 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!”
“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!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”
“Fun, funky, quirky and elegant all at once. Super- helpful owner. There's a mystical element (bought Tarot-like cards), treats (bought caramels), serveware, books, home items and decor, and it's all beautifully curated with a designer's eye.”

“I think this shop is really successful, it has every product you want and most of the products have very different shapes and are usually handmade, I like it very much, I haven't seen many shops like this in Boston”
“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.”
“Cute little shop my first time today i got some incense and incense holder a cute hedgehog planter and an adorable book for my grandsons will definitely be back the lady who rang me out was very pleasant burning my incense now great quality within 5 minutes my whole room smelt wonderful”
“Hi my name is Charlotte, this is my review of the “Paper Store” in Reading. This is a very good store. Legs start with the fact there are needohs. So many needohs! The manager (she is a manager) was very helpful with the needohs.”
“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.”
“This is such a great place with beautiful, colorful art work and really fun high quality gifts! Great handmade fine jewelry, home decor & just such unique items! Love it!”
“I love all the unique finds in this store ! But what I especially love is that my first time in here Jaxson went above and beyond to make me feel so welcome to always come back and receive the same awesome customer service! This was my third time in the store today and I was filled with good energy between Jaxson and (I believe the very helpful woman's name was..) Beth!!!? She's got some fabulous energy .. a doer!!! My second time here I'll be completely honest ... the checkout wasn't as helpful ... it just seemed as get me in and out ... and I missed Jaxson's energy from my first visit that I mentioned to them how it was my second time in and "where's the nice young man who helped me last time" ... all the workers adored him when I mentioned him. And being around the service industry for years , some people just have that energy that draws u to want to go back!! Jaxson has got that and I'm sure he will be very successful in life always!!! Love feeling welcomed and not judged where I go .. as the first time I went in I did feel a sense of being followed for stealing ... maybe it was my paranoia but I had a big homeless looking jacket on ... my hair was a mess ... I honestly hadn't showered that day ... and I felt so uncomfortable showing up until... JAXSON!! Keep up your good energy kid!! U can change a lot of peoples day!!! And u are going to make it so far in life!!! The paper store should just hand u the business ! ;)Happy holidays!!!Also I read the review about the "vulgar" language ... Get a sense of humor lady... we are all adults... and we wouldn't have children that are unaware of that language running around or walking in the store unattended ... unless ur just an irresponsible and ignorant parent... that review should be taken down Lady acts like she never saw a swear word ... ur kids see worse on the internet love ! Xoxo (this is in reference to her complaining about the adult humor oven mitts and socks )”
“One is the better paper stores in the area. Very nice staff and always well stocked and clean. Staff has gone above and beyond numerous times for me. The shopping plaza is very nice and has a lot of good stores.”
“Great little spot full of really cool and unique gift ideas, I find myself here often when I'm on Market St. sometimes it's something in the window that draws me in, other times it's just curiosity but this place never seems to disappoint. Worth a visit if you have the time and worth making the time for if you don't.”
