“Kind staff, great selection of toys and games, my go-to store for when I need gifts for my niece and nephew. Free present wrapping is clutch, and their rewards program often has actually great deals. Thanks, Boing!”
“This place is a true gem! I have bought gifts here for years (love the complementary gift wrapping!) and recently tried the pottery. The staff is so helpful, explaining the process and assisting me and my kids when we wanted to try a handprint design. They even came to the rescue to end a toddler tantrum during pottery painting! Their selection of toys, books, games, and stuffies is fabulous. They have a really wide array of things to paint in the pottery section, and the space for painting is very nicely set up and calming.”
“My first time discovering this spot, and I love it! Lovely to see locals coming in with friends and family for quality time chatting over a cup of coffee. Nice background music. I enjoyed the Mexican mocha and cranberry/orange scone, and I got a toy truck for my friend's little one. The bookstore employee was very nice and engaging with the customers and ready to help with recommendations. I'll be back soon!”

“Anime Zakka is a nice store located near the end of Newbury Street, close to Uniqlo and Muji. It is below ground, leading you into a place to be immersed by anime and Japanese pop culture.
I enjoyed browsing and wandering around the store, as there were many products I’ve never heard of or seen. I found Tomica cars, a product I’ve never seen in Boston before but know many car collectors may enjoy looking at. I also found many stuffed animals I never knew existed for products I like, such as Miffy.
The only downside is the products I did know were overpriced. I am a big fan of collecting lottery items, and they were nearly double the price at the store compared to what I could buy it for at online retailers.”
“I love their selection of games and puzzles and the staff here are beyond kind and helpful. To the sweet sweet human being who yippee with me about your dice options, I adore you ♡”

“Stopped inn just to see what was new and Elizabeth never disappoints. So many great options for gifts so I. Need to get back and make a purchase soon. Thinking I may find the perfect baby shower gift.”
“Such a sweet place with a wonderful selection of toys and cutesy items. I stopped in to find a gift for a family member who was getting out of the hospital and found the perfect thing.”

“I love this store ! they have such high quality clothing! I buy my nephew clothing here for his birthday and the holidays. The people working here have always been so helpful as well!”
“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!”
“Love this cute, little bookstore!! It’s a wonderful place for gifts for children. Their book selection is perfect and the owner gives great advice on what kids of different ages would like. They also support local authors—we actually met one in the store who drew a custom drawing for our son. It’s obvious a lot of love goes into this place.”
“Very great selection for hot wheels cars. Great deal 8 cars in a package for $19.99 great rewards program, when you go employees will tell you about the rewards program. Very kind Managers and employees.”

“This is a toy store(visited the Brookline location)with a variety of toys, books, creative projects and various other items. The little friends love visiting @ Henry Bear's Park!”

“I feel like I’m in Europe every time I walk into this sweet spot - it is my favorite in Boston. It is full to the brim with treasures - the most beautiful children’s clothing and thoughtfully curated selection toys that you can enjoy in your home and make the most magical gifts. Everything I have purchased there is treasured by me and my children. The owner and her mother who work together there are a dream and such a pleasure to shop with, they have helped me on countless occasions. ❤️❤️❤️”
“A really cute toy store. Amazing people, amazing products. It’s always a joy to go to and I go out of my way for this one specifically due to their stock and personality. If the other Henry Bear’s Park stores don’t have it, this one is for sure to. There’s a puzzle actively being worked on when you go in, there’s a very welcoming energy.”

“My 4 year old daughter simply does not interact with other people but the folks at this Build a Bear always get her out of her shell and positively bursting with excitement. Having worked retail I can't imagine how difficult it must be to make every interaction feel special when you do it all day long but these folks step up every time for what is a very magical moment for the kids building a new friend. Everyone has been wonderful but Serena in particular really shines!”
“I absolutely love Learning Express in Somerville! They have an amazing variety of toys, and the staff is so warm and helpful—if you’re hunting for toys, this is definitely the place to go.”
“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 toy store. The automatic gift receipts on the bar code are very convenient. The MBTA trains are a great gift to bring a taste of Boston to out-of-town friends.”
“They located the little tin tops my granddaughter loves and held them and a baby doll for me till I could pick it up. Great selection of toys and accommodating staff”
“Went for an artist signing and it is a nice little shop tucked away in an indoor mall type building. It's not very big but has all the usuals + very friendly staff”
“Lots of options. Very organized and youre able to try some fidgets before you buy them, which is nice. They have puzzles, games, fidgets, stuffed animals, Legos, etc. I will definitely be coming back but it was a little overpriced - I spent almost $30 on 2 items.”

“We went into the store today (July 5, 2026), right when they opened, because we needed a souvenir for our visit. The guy behind the counter was welcoming! We explored the first floor and then the 2nd floor where they had more stuff. They have a wide selection of souvenirs, including Boston Celtics, Bruins, and New England Patriots items. There are tons of Boston shirts, sweatshirts, and more! There’s something for everyone!
I would have given it a perfect 5 stars, but we picked up a Boston Red Sox hat. When we got back to the hotel, we discovered that the hat still had the magnetic security tag. Luckily, the store is just a short walk away. I went inside, showed the tag, and explained that we bought it earlier and the tag was still attached. The staff, who had checked us out, didn’t react at all. She seemed a bit annoyed and didn’t apologize or mention anything. You work at a souvenir shop and should smile more!”
“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.”

“The definition of a neighborhood gem! I cannot keep my kids out of here. The team are so welcoming and are always on hand to help in a toy selection for your own or another child. They have helped me in creating some customized gifts for my kids including lap trays for crafts, pencil cases and lockers for all their jewelry. Save yourself a hectic trip to the mall and support a local store at the same time!”
