“I have visited this lovey shop off and on for 5 or more years! Joanne is a lovely women with a good eye for picking merchandise that is not soon in any of the stores large and small in our area! There is parking in 2 lots in the area or you can go by bus! The outside decor catches your eye! You want to go in with the window displays she does! Check this shop out!”
“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 love this floor cloth. And the owner, Daren was so nice to work with. Even though it was custom made to fit my space, it arrived more quickly than I expected and Daren was very communicative and helpful!!”

“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”
“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!”
“We rented a chuppah and talit from Kolbo for our wedding and also bought a Ketubah and glass from them and they were wonderful throughout the process! Pickup and drop off of the rented items was seamless and the Ketubah (handmade) and glass were beautiful and delivered in a timely manner”

“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!”
“I love to shop at the Exchange. They have the best variety of handmade and commercial gifts and items. Every time i visit, the display is different. Their staff is warm and knowledgeable. I’ve always had a wonderful experience there.”
“I miss this place! I lived in Boston 13 years and used to walk to this place: it was my go to “treat yourself” shop. I have so many crystals from here and goddess statues. Some of the crystals are excellent and rare pieces at great prices. I’ve got three stunning opals I got from here. I loved going here. The cutest shop.”
“My favorite store in needham! Perfect place to get a gift or treat yourself. I love going into the store and checking out all the new inventory. I have bought cards, gifts, candles and many many accessories from this store.”
“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.”
“It's a lovely gift store, that's beautiful to explore, with several cute gifts. The staff is very friendly, although my only caution would be that the store doesn't have a ton of variety, which makes sense given its small size. Still, I'd recommend it as a place to browse, with the hopes that something might catch your eye.”

“I live and work in the area and have been shopping at On Centre forever. I love the vibe and selection of gifts, jewelry, handbags, clothes and more. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. JP is very lucky to have a shop like On Centre.”
“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!”

“While walking through The North End, I stopped in here just because it was appealing from the curb. Loft & Vine did not disappoint. I was able to find cute trinkets, jewelry, and gifts for me and my loved ones back home. Everything I found was unique from their felt flowers, cooky stickers, character ornaments, and more! To top everything off, the staff was lovely and made me leave with a smile on my face.”
“This is an amazing hole in the wall. Their inventory is surprisingly large given their size. Items are authentic and reasonably priced.I’m case anyone is looking — they do have mehindi cones!”

“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”
“I had a great experience at the Quincy Edible Arrangements. The store was clean and orderly and the staff was very helpful. They took their time with me and didn’t get frustrated with all my questions.”
“I’ve been shopping here for years. There is never a shortage of options for thoughtful, unique and often local gifts. The store is a delight to explore and it is owned and staffed by delightful humans.”
“Dangerous for my wallet… so many pretty papers, stamps, and craft supplies to choose from! Quality is excellent and the staff always has solid creative ideas when you’re stuck. Perfect spot for unique cards, gift wrapping, and DIY project supplies. They offer workshops too which are fun for date nights or girls’ outings. Membership discounts help offset the splurge-worthy prices.”
“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.”
“Great place to find gifts for adults or children. They always have a new selection of goodies, always clean, vibrant colors, well organized. Price wise it's not a cheap place, but if you have a coupon you get in mail from them, you can actually score a great discount. I've bought jewelry pieces there, bath and body products, kids toys and crafts, housewarming gifts, all always well liked by recipients.”

“One of my favorite stores to buy gifts (for others and for myself)! Unique, beautiful, fun, gifts at a reasonable price ranging from houseware to bags and jewelry; good for Father's Days, Mother's Day, housewarming, birthday, baby showers and any other gift-giving occasion!I also did the decoupage shell making class (as a birthday gift for my sister). It was a fun and unique way to spend a Sunday. And if you haven't seen the decoupage shells that Hilary makes, they are beautiful! I loved getting to make them ourselves.Hilary -- the store owner -- is fantastic! She is creative and friendly and makes a lot of the items herself.”

“I stumbled upon this store recently and absolutely loved it. They sell an assortment of household items and souvenir's. The store is quite spacious and very tidy. the staff were exceptionally nice and very welcoming. If you're going to support a local business then please consider it being Essex Corner.”
“This a beautiful shop with an amazing assortment of gifts. There is something for everyone! The owner and all of the staff are lovely and so helpful. I can't say enough about my shopping experience today! 5 stars for sure. See you again soon.”
“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.”
“This shop is a gem in Roslindale! When possible, I tend to do most of my shopping locally. Spending money in there community ensures that is stays in the community.As the seasons change, so do the available items here. In the spring, I buy some seeds for the garden. The summer months have products more associated with that. As we head into autumn and winter, the focus shifts toward the holiday season. I always buy some Christmas gifts here for various family and friends.The store is always busy during Small Business Saturday and the holiday markets.They stock a variety of items such as cards, jewelry, home decor, clothing, and lots of localy-themed items such as coasters, towels, and glassware.Everyone who works there is extremely helpful and takes the time to talk with me. This is something that you generally don't get in a large chain store.In conclusion, this is a great store and comes highly recommended by me!”
