“100+ reviews and a perfect 5.0 rating? That's crazy. But if any store can do it, I'm not surprised it's Diehl Marcus.
The decor is the first thing you notice, and it's absolutely flawless. Wood molding, dark paints, curio cases with antique and odd objects. It perfectly sets the tone for the shop.
The shop specializes in teas and candles, mostly. The tea varieties are wide and delicious. They even have tea bricks, the type which were historically used for transportation of tea. The candles smell so good, are utterly distinctive, and are absolutely loaded with fragrance. They transform a room.
Even though those are the main products, though... It doesn't really feel like that. Yes, they have accessories, tea infusers, soaps that smell like the candles, shaving supplies... But even that doesn't to D&M justice. It's like every little corner and nook you look in has something fascinating. Maybe it's for sale, maybe it's not. But it makes you want to look and discuss with the staff who are all incredible.
D&M is a shop that does what it set out to do absolutely perfectly.”
“My daughter and i visit MA every Sept/Oct and found the original store/tattoo parlor about 4 years ago. We were blown away by the decor, unique pieces for sale along with the original artwork/prints created by the brothers. I usually pick up one or two pieces when i find one that speaks to me, plus the staff are super friendly. We were very excited to see an additional store open up across from the Witch House and now make sure to stop at both locations when visiting. Highly recommend both locations and when i talk to folks about visiting Salem, i tell them this is a must do.”
“The workers are very kind and helpful. I highly recommend going on the ghostly night tours especially with Vin the fedora slayer. The shop and tour are very family friendly and fun.”
“Wonderful shop in Salem historic district away from the bustle of downtown. Don't overlook this treasure! Loved the handcrafted gifts, not mass-produced. Was there in October and found a lovely witch doll for my mother (and me, eventually). Shop owner was very honest regarding shipping costs and assuring /demonstrating to me the doll would be small enough for my airline carry-on, saving me $$ on shipping. Would love to return and see what is there when it is not October.”
“Love this shop. Come here every year. Got so many cute things over the years. From Halloween to Christmas, tee shirts and more. A must see shop one of my favorites.”
“Such a great idea and execution. We stopped here on a rainy day with our 4yo and 6yo daughters and decided to make some magic potions. I think it’s a little expensive but our kids loved making their potions.”
“This store is attached in the back to two other stores, so you can go to oak+moss, spruce home and roost if you are in a wheelchair. Very nice employees helped me go through the back hallway so I could appreciate all of what each store had. Everything was so nice and we definitely bought our share of items. I would highly recommend if you are in a wheelchair and need extra help.”

“For a good time, good see Steve at District Trading Company! The selection is fantastic, the company is even better! Definitely one of my favorite stops on our trip!”
“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.”
“If you come to Salem . I can not say enough great things about Steph shop. Great merchandise, excellent customer service . It wouldn’t be a trip to Salem for me if I didn’t buy something from a wonderful shop like Salem Bespoke Boutique she has great prices and awesome products. So make it a point to see this shop you won’t regret it!”
“Love this company & their attention to detail. The Nativity Collection is stunning and lifelike. I look forward to displaying during the holiday and adding a new figure every year.”

“My favorite shop in Salem. Owners were so sweet and the selection of goods could not be beaten. I loved that it wasn't the typical touristy stuff you find in every other shop. There was still a good amount of Salem-centric souvenirs, but also an extremely thoughtfully curated array of goods. Definitely a must when visiting Salem.”
“Amazing store in Marblehead! If you haven’t been there, check it out soon. So many great gifts options, cards and nostalgic candy! The owner is awesome, it really is a happy place!”
“Loved the store, plenty of variety and options at great prices. I got plenty of my souvenirs here and I got the best prices for exactly the same items were more expensive in the area”
“One of the best shops in Marblehead! Great assortment of local and unique items for special occasion gifts and when you just need a little something for yourself! Highly recommend a visit.”

“Made a couple of crystals for my wife and I and for family members. They came out great and the help to get the pictures right from the staff there was worth it to ensure they come great.”
“Ashley and Leah took care of me on Valentine’s Day. They were super friendly, and even took care of an odd request for me: to remove the baby’s breath from the bouquet of flowers I purchased. Highly recommend.”

“I absolutely love this gem of a gift shop! It has a little something for everybody! To be honest, it’s one of the reasons we moved to the North Shore. My aunt would rave about the artisan gifts and tasteful seaside vibe. Just the smell of the shop draws you inside! I feel so lucky that I can run in and get a gift or a card for just about any occasion, big or small… or the best gifts that are for no reason at all! A North Shore treasure for sure!”
“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.”

“Honestly one of the best gift shops in all of Salem. Excellent selection of high quality items, mostly maritime themed but they did have some really spooky stuff too. The staff was very kind. Highly recommend”
“Native American art? Asian art? Visual Photography and Videography? Fashion from the olden days? This place is absolutely awesome! Perfect for kids, art lovers, or people just wanting to learn about different cultures, this place is great for everyone! Discounts for students, and a cafe right inside. This place is so cool and I cant wait to go again!”

“If you only have time for a few shops on Essex Street, make sure The Magic Parlor is one of them! This place is the ultimate combination of an old school magic and joke shop and a legitimate occult boutique. The front of the store is packed with high quality costumes, custom masks, retro pranks, and stage magic tricks. But if you walk all the way to the back room, it opens up into an incredible space filled with reasonably priced spell kits, loose herbs, essential oils, and gorgeous tarot decks. The staff here are phenomenal, unlike some of the snootier shops in town, the folks here are down to earth, hilarious, and incredibly knowledgeable about everything they sell. We walked out with a custom spell kit and some nostalgia items, and we had a blast the entire time. A mandatory Salem stop!”
“This store is so much fun!! Firstly I love buying local, and there are so many creative works there. This is where I always go to buy unique gifts for friends and family.”
