“I was visiting from out of state and decided to stumble in on a Friday afternoon. I’ve never seen such a well curated store that catered to so many different interests and needs. I’m so sad there’s not one where I live, but I’m looking forward to my next visit!”
“A great place for a gift for yourself or others. There is such a warm, beautiful, enchanted ambiance to this shop. It is a great experience being there- you won’t want to leave!”
“Love this store a whole lot! Every time I go in to grab one thing I come out with a bag of things I never knew I needed. So many items, and that staff has consistently been so wonderful, regardless of how busy they are.”
“Great staff, talented artists, inclusive space, and local gems! The staff member, Heather, went above and beyond to get me a print they had run out of when I was only in town for the week. I’m from Providence but live in Texas now so I love supporting local RI artists and businesses when I visit home. I remember when Craftland first popped up - I think I was in high school or college. It was amazing and still is. It’s important to have shops like this to visit for local art when markets aren’t happening. I’ve bought many things here over the years to rep RI while living in Texas and have a little piece of home with me. ❤️”
“Great little gift shop. The staff are all so nice. They have so much to offer! I really enjoy watching the live videos too. Great place to find the perfect gift for someone.. or yourself!”

“Just shopped at this cute little store for a gift for my future daughter in law who couldn't be here for the holidays ..she is from the Midwest and came for Christmas last year, couldn't come this year..picked her out some cute wave earring, an RI T-shirt, and a dishtowel...Local is the best! The girl wrapped it and was very kind...will be back and tell all my friends & family to shop here!!!”
“My kids absolutely love ART days here. They are given the opportunity to let their creativity run wild! The instructors here are fabulous. They treat the kids like their own family. Great for school vacations! ( Winter break, February break, April break and summer break!) The shop also offers tons of unique gifts great for birthdays and holidays! We've also done a couple birthday parties here and they do an amazing job from start to finish. They do everything including taking pictures which really lets you sit back and enjoy as the parent! Our family highly recommends Created Purpose.”

“This is quite literally one of the best gift shops in RI that caters to a refined eye. It's my personal go-to and it has a great vibe--you end up browsing for longer than planned, but there are so many great finds. Highly recommend.”

“I have been loving this place for years, however the staff I experienced recently was terrible. The cashier was rude and miserable with all the customers she interacted with while I was there. As someone who works in the service industry and has had nothing but friendly experiences coming here I was shocked. When asking questions she gave one word or short answers with a poor attitude. It felt like she didn’t want to be there, and I quickly left after speaking with her because it was uncomfortable. I will still be coming back as it’s my favorite place for crystals and jewelry, but hoping the staff will be more pleasant next time!”
“One of the best hidden gems in RI!!! So many unique things you’d need more than one trip just to take it all in! Had fantastic conversations with Kevin. I need to come back sooner than later!”
“They have an amazing selection of gifts! The owners and staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. I love that they have local artists' work as well! I highly recommend a visit if you're on Main St!”
“One of my favorite places for jewelry and gifts! Lots of unique items and pottery made by the owner Dana who is amazing. If you haven’t been by White Buffalo yet go check it out!!! Especially with Christmas coming up, it’s a good opportunity to support small and local businesses”
“I always enjoy shopping at BoxLunch
The customer service is always awesome. The manager who was working at the Warwick location was very friendly and helpful.”
“Super cool store! A very large selection of prints, magnets, stickers, pins, etc. Half of the stock are products with a millennial sense of humor and the other half are gorgeous artistic pieces. Bought myself some pins and a necklace, employee was very helpful with the jewelry :D”
“Wonderful country gift shop, lots of items to choose from, from candles to home decor and more! Visited today, the theme was mostly Christmas, with some Fall items. The selection changes seasonally, great shop for gift shopping.”
“I love this store!! One of my go tos for gifts. There is always something different and unique. Staff is always friendly and helpful. A definite if you are looking for a different gift!”
“Noon is a lovely little gift store located at the tip of Pawtuxet Village. It has a selection of jewelry, textiles, candles, and other delicate, fine handmade goods. What I love about this store is that it has affordable items as well as more expensive items. And all are lovely and one-of-a-kind and hand-krafted, I believe. Stop in and you will receive a friendly greeting and personal assistance. A charming shop! Street parking only.”
“There is plenty to look at and enjoy. Cards, books, clothes, jewelry, home accessories, nice and helpful staff. If you sign up you with both Hallmark and Paper Shop, you can earn lots of coupons. Hallmark card prices are high but they do have lower priced section. They also have a tiny , really cute card section where price is right. Not as many stickers or ribbons and wrappings, which is disappointing . Candy, stuffed animals, books, Vera Bradley , Kendra Scott jewelry, lots of bracelets, candles~ I could go on forever. Handicap parking near door and doors aren't too heavy but awkward to struggle the doors open if you have a walker or wheelchair. People- staff and other customers are willing to hold door for you if around. Nice atmosphere! Worth a visit!”
“Great selection of gifts and home goods! They have an especially notable selection of great cookbooks. On my last visit here, I picked up a copy of "Melted Cheese" containing recipes for my most beloved food. Service was very quick and friendly! Some of the items seem a bit overpriced, but other items are reasonable. In the past, I have purchased some small dishes for entertaining in cool finishes such as a bright gold to use for appetizers. Great place to stop in where you're in downtown Providence.”
“I recently visited Le's Isle Rose as the recommended florist by the funeral home I was working with for my father's passing. We were greeted kindly and quickly, and all of the choices were shown and discussed with us as well as possible customizations. My father loved to plant his garden full of bright flowers at home and when I showed the team a picture from his garden as an example, they took that inspiration of flower choices and colors and created a casket topper that was absolutely perfect - he would have raved about it. I am so grateful to this team for making this experience easy, in an otherwise difficult week, and with great craftsmanship too.”

“Cute little boutique with a great selection of high end gift items. I stopped in here last year with my bf to explore some of their wall decor including interesting faux animal head mounts. I absolutely loved their selection of fluffy Russian style hats but talked myself out of buying one last year as I thought they were quite pricey at $46 for faux fur. I regretted it and went back this year to snag one of their hats. So cool and in an assortment of colors. I wore the hat on our recent vacation in the mountains of Colorado and can definitely attest to the hat's great warmth. This store is pricey but has a cool selection- might be a great place to splurge on a unique gift.”
“God, I love hole in the wall discount stores! On the outside it might look like a regular convenience store! But on the inside there's so much to look at and find! It's way bigger on the inside than it looks. Plentiful amounts of merchandise, and the owners (I think) are very friendly and polite. The guy who cashed me out almost gave me the incorrect amount of change back and when I politely pointed it out, he seemed sort of embarrassed, but remained calm and thanked me. I bought a bandana, a Du-Rag, and a black hand towel for my bathroom which I had been looking for, for a little bit now. The prices are pretty decent, seeing as how I'd be more inclined to visit a place like this versus a Dollar Tree. There's just something special about these types of places that you don't get at the corporate stores. The Gold Stars Gift Store is a highly underrated gem in Pawtucket. Don't be intimidated by the outside, come on in and you'd be surprised to find something for your house or yourself. It's like a corner store, dollar store, jewelry store, and more mixed into one. Cool place! Would definitely recommend you check it out! :)”
“I've been a loyal customer of this store for many years now. Outstanding gifts, service, friends = always a delightful experience! Highest recommendation.”
“I have loved the paperstore and usually go to Manchester but saw one in Warwick. Very similiar both locations and lots to look at. You definitely can find a gift for either yourself or someone else. Looked around at the clothing, jewerly, ornaments, cooking items, and usually I cant get out without buying something lol. So many cool items. Asked a worker to look at some jewerly, then she walked away but someone else came to help me. It was a earring and necklace set I have been wanting but very pricey. Couple hundred just for the earrings. Beautiful collection though. I recommend the paper store for gifts.”
“I don't know the names of who I spoke to , but they were both girls and were SO sweet! I was nervous ordering from 4 hours away (to deliver to someone in that area) and they were so amazing in getting it delivered there perfectly AND were so accommodating with the scheduled time. Im so happy with the order / delivery , and my boyfriend loved it!
thank you so much!”
“I love this store so much. Books, jewelry, games, dishware, children's toys, assorted knick knacks, cards/stationary. All very high quality items. Sad the location near me is being consolidated, but I will definitely visit the one in Barrington in the future!”
