23 Thompson St, Winchester“What a delight to come back to my home town and visit Sweet SurpriZe. Heidi’s store has something for everyone from clothing with the old Sachem logo and new logo to water bottles, draw string bags, candy and more. I highly recommend this store. Mim Quine, class of 76’.”
“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.”
“It was my first visit here. I love this store and will be back. I bought 2 bottles of waterproof ink and the lady was very helpful and kind. She also told me about a store in New York City, after I mentioned that I was from New York State.”
“Excellent local spot for corporate gifts as well!I’m a lifelong Inman-ite and was very excited to work with them this year on office gifts. Mary and her team were so helpful and proactive with creating perfect gift bags for a team of 39. They rolled with every change I had to make and a pleasure to work with.Support local! Support Inman! Thanks so much albertine, I look forward to working with you again!”
“This store is amazing. If you’re even remotely a lover a maps, transit, cities, and railroad, you will struggle to leave without spending an unhealthy chunk of your salary. Totally worth it! You can spend an hour exploring their collection of stuff ?️”
“We got our Ketubah for our wedding from Kolbo. We loved the selection and variety to choose from. The staff was so helpful and patient with us. We especially appreciated Miriam's help proofreading our ketubah before printing. On other trips, we also got our breaking glass and a gorgeous Havdalah set too.”
“I always stop in for jewelry to see what they have. Great assortment of items for all of your crystal and calming needs. Staff is very nice and have always been able to help with any of my questions and needs.”
“Absolutely adore this store - it's been such a great addition to downtown Melrose! I popped in the other day to buy a gift for my aunt and was really impressed with the selection. Found something for her (a beautiful candle) and a few smaller things for my kiddos. Will definitely be back as I'm shopping for holiday gifts for friends, family, teachers, etc.”
“Love this gift shop- great staff, great choice and great advice. I’ve been so happy with everything I’ve bought or received from here. Crafty a Yankee is a gem in Lexington!”
“Wow ! What a find !! This shop really has it all!!! I was lucky enough to take part in a “Joy of Painting Master class.” It was an Annie Sloan tutorial class led by her brand ambassador Jonathan Marc Mendes. Truly attending this class was a highlight of my winter!! The shop owner “Colleen” was the most gracious host at the 2 day event. Check out the classes she offers you will not be disappointed! You will make new and friends a create something that just might surprise you!!!”

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.

120 Salem St, Boston“Was last minute holiday shopping and the woman helping us was so so lovely and went above and beyond to help us make our holiday great! So thankful for the amazing service!”
“I've been a costumer to this amazing store for more than 12 years. And always loved it! Great selection of ideas for gifts, and the owners are super nice! So is the cashier who always greets you with a warm "hello". Reading Peter V. comments on here, saying that he was (or maybe more like THEY were - they, being a group of young kids) "chased out" of the store (with a fist) I'm certain that the reason the cashier had to ask them to leave the store was validated by the fact this GROUP of young teenagers were disrespectful to the store merchandise (were you there Peter V?), by trying on a few items and throughing them back in the shelves. Not just nicely placing the items back, they were actually throwing things like eye glasses and other things around after posing with the merchandise for pictures. Kids these days lack good manners. And that is not an acceptable attitude to be proud of... you may be a parent "protecting" your offspring, but first of all, good mannered we learn from home!”
“Wonderful store, with an amazing selection of gifts, home goods, antiques, accessories, and more. Great service with employees who clearly care about the products, and do some of the best free gift-wrapping I’ve ever seen. A bonus: ask the shopkeepers about Nantucket baskets! This place also happens to be one of the best basket studios outside of the island. The owner is a master basket weaver who is well known on Nantucket.”

“Recently my daughter was sick, land I ordered several things from Grandma's Chicken Soup. On the day the order shipped, my daughter was admitted to the hospital - and wouldn't be home for the delivery. I emailed them, and not only did they respond, I received a phone call! They were able to stop the delivery, and will hold it until she gets home - at which time I can have it sent. This was superb, thoughtful Custer Service - totally unexpected, and so very appreciated.”

214F Broadway, Saugus“Amazing customer service. I went in looking for a specific plush but I couldn't find it.

“This was a great place to host a birthday party. Dani communicated all details prior to the event. During the party, she adapted the painting for the kids and added fun mixed media elements. She was engaged with them for the entire two hours and gave great, clear instructions. Everybody went home with a beautiful finished product and two kids even said it was the best birthday party ever! Thank you so much, Dani.”
