Love this place. They have unusual quality items. Their taper candles are dripless, and burn slowly.

My family of four and I walked in, in hopes of finding a new sofa for our living room. We were rudely interrupted after sitting down and were hate crimed. They called us homophobic slurs when walking back to the counter, loudly, might I add. The salesperson also forced us to leave, telling us they had to sell. The woman said, "skedaddle", while we sat down. I will never come back after being treated like a dirty rat. I was verbally abused and traumatized. O Stars if I could!!

This is a a really, really nice store. I make it a point to visit when I am in Newburyport. There is a vague French theme but mostly the items are high end housewares. Kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom. There is a smattering of food items, mostly canned and bottled stuff. I'm terms of the staff, I've never had a problem. They are waspy looking North Shore women of a certain age. What do you want? They ring me up and I'm on my way.

We stopped in the Wishbasket on a whim. We’re working on decorating our home with a costal feel and they had a lot of great beach feeling home decor. We loved the shop there were a lot of great pieces. I’m not sure if she was the owner of the shop but the person manning the counter helped us with our purchases and showed us additional pieces. This is the one we landed on and the piece fits beautifully in our space. We absolutely love it!

I count on this story for their local supply of Harbor Sweets candy for special occasions.They are high end with pretty things from candles to jewelry, furniture to gourmet food, but also have great sales on the beautiful floor sample furniture in this location and Red Bird next door. What i think distinguishes it is simply the excellent taste shown with everything available in the store. While it can be pricy, the prices are the same price these products are sold for elsewhere.

A very unique and fun shop. Many unusual items beautifully displayed. As a frequent customer my only wish is for a more welcoming sales staff.

I went into wishbasket today and LOVED the different and unique gifts they have. I think the way it is all arranged is beautiful. So, I really took the time to enjoy walking around the store and taking it all in. Now here's why i am leaving a two star review- The energy in this store was completely draining. I felt like i was being watched by the two staff working. It seemed like every time I picked something up, I was meeting eyes with one worker who would just glare at me. She never once welcomed me to the store or said anything. Another worker was walking around touching everything and appearing to be shopping, just to watch everyone. It was very uninviting and unwelcoming and I truly don't think that I will be back for this reason. Like i said, there were so many cute and unique gifts and even with the prices a little high; it's newburyport and it's to be expected. I would be so happy to support a small business, just not this one. I think maybe if the owners invested in some cameras or maybe had a little good faith in their customers, this would be a better atmosphere.

So this store happened! And it’s Sister store just around the corner in the same shopping plaza. I’m in love! The furniture, heavy thick throws, bubble bath, lamps, everything is of exquisite taste. I was visiting from Chattanooga Tennessee and I’ll be back! Ladies buy it and ship it home. I could have purchased a truck full of these goodies.

I don't know why this store feels like they can charge as much as they do. It's really very unreasonably priced and no one is very friendly. It is very cute and sometimes they have neat stuff. But I saw a candle for $63. A candle.
