Thank you Brad and John I had such a nice visit in your store. I loved meeting Diane the turtle and of course Grace the cat. I’m just sorry that Harry’s a little shy. I would’ve loved to meet him . Your merchandise is so unique and beautiful and inexpensive. My only regret is not noticing the artwork. I’m going to to go online and take a peek. Thank you again it was the nicest visit I’ve ever had in any gift store. Elaine. Nashua NH

I live this store!! I got to meet Diane the turtle and watch her have some lunch!! This store is super fun with great gifts and lots to look at. The owner/owners is usually on site and will tell you all about Diane and the local area.

Absolutely amazing gift shop, they have an enormous selection of from souvenirs, toys, to beautiful art pieces. But most of all the two owners are the epitomy of kindness and I wish I could come back in here everyday. So happy I got to meet Grace and Harry, their two beautiful cats as well! They also have Diane the turtle as well! Exceptional gift shop run my truly exceptional people!

This is the best gift shop!! There is literally something for everyone here; toys, puzzles, notecards, local art, fudge, soap, etc. This is the ultimate gift shop located right in the adorable downtown area of Bristol. Also, make sure you get to see Diane, the turtle!

What an absolutely fantastic store. Full of great finds, especially for big kids like myself. An amazing selection of note cards for those of us who still love the special touch. Lots of fabulous puzzles, toys, and hand printed items that will make any recipient extremely happy. I found the most adorable hot plate, with moose dressed as the bride, and groom, for a gift for my niece who eloped. I'll add it to her card. Then the insanely adorable, stuffed, hand puppets, every animal you can think of. A great selection of delicious chocolates, and I can keep going on. The owners hand print everything on-site. When you get to the register to checkout you're in for a treat. Ask to meet their beautiful kitty. Service is warm, friendly, and will make you wanting to go back soon. Oh there's also a mascot turtle, you'll need to ask them to explain the story behind him. This is an absolute must when you're in the area or out for a day trip. Well worth plugging the address in for your destination.

Charming shop, loved the turtle (subject of a charming illustrated book by the proprietors and son/nephew), love our wooden cribbage board with a detailed map of Newfound Lake. Be sure to check out the wall with WWII record of the owners' dad, who was awarded the Navy's DFC.

Took the youngest grandkids in to see Diane the turtle after reading them the story about how she came to the family over 50 years ago. The brothers/ owners of Twin Designs were as patient, kind and informative about Diane as I remembered from taking the older teenaged grandkids when they were little.

Happened upon this shop during a weekend getaway in the area. The people who run the shop were so sweet. They introduced me to the stars of the town, Harry and Grace. I bought a Diane the turtle mug and unfortunately it broke a day later, I emailed them about it in hopes of getting it replaced as I was so excited for it and I live a few states away so coming back any time soon was close to impossible. They responded swiftly, sent me another mug, including a card with a handwritten note inside, and 2 magnets!!! Diane also drew a self portrait of herself in the card!!!! Highly highly recommend. It’s quaint and funky, felt surreal. I loved it so much.
