“New favorite paper store location! The ladys here are so nice and helpful they helped me with jellycats and they were super sweet definitely will go to this location more ?”
“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!”

“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 discovered this pottery studio back in February and have completed two class series so far—one beginner and one intermediate. Both instructors were incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. I’ve learned so much and absolutely love this studio! I’ll definitely be back for more classes in the future.”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Amazing!!! I had to buy my wife a 9th anniversary gift with a week left on the clock. I realized it was pottery and I thought to myself perfect! Pottery is made of clay and there is literally a store around the block called Paper & Clay! How could I go wrong,l. I’m clearly the best husband that ever existed to put this together.
Within 5 minutes I had my present picked out with a matching card to boot all in one place and the owner Leslie, who is amazing, even wrapped it for me!
My only regret is Google doesn’t allow me to give bonus stars!
Leslie thank you again, you preserved my marriage for at least another year?.

“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...”
“The fruit bouquet was as pictured, thank you! The balloon was not what I ordered, that’s ok because I understand inventory changes.
My issue is the delivery was made at 5:10pm, that’s the end of a work day so I’m disappointed.”

“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.”
“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 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!”
“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”

“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’.”
“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!”
“Love the range of great artisan products and exciting events being held at this gallery. The staff are really nice and welcoming! They use all pre-cautious measures for covid-19.”
“I couldn't make the family reunion. I wanted to add something healthy, beautiful and something the kids would really love. Edible Arrangements did just that. Fruit really fresh, mango and kiwi appreciated with all of the fruits and the display captivated all ( especially the kids!). I made order by calling the store ( I am out of state but prefer the human connection to a store instead of on line) "Krista" helped me with order size . I requested an order late on Sunday. Krista noted they closed earlier on Sunday but she would make it the last order of the day. Couldn't be happier with product and service. Definitely order again. Thankyou so much Edible Arrangements!!”

“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.”
“Cute shop they have lots of neat local artists and Christmas in July was so fun ! My son loved meeting the grinch and the raffles. We loved the artisit booths as well. They even and treats and refreshments, super fun event!”
“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.”

“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!”
“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.”
