The…read moreladies at the counter were very helpful and the products are unique, varied and make perfect gifts people always appreciate. If you have a person or four, as I did today, to buy a gift for, buy the gifts at a League of NH Craftsmen store. You will find items for anywhere from $10 to $1,000+. I guy wedding gifts, Christmas gift, Birthday gifts and oops, sorry honey gifts. I like to keep one of the ladder on hand for those not so special occasions. No, I know none of the craftsmen, nor do I know any of the employees of these shops, but I have always been very successful buying gifts here. I think you will be too.

Oh, there's also a small sales section tucked in the corner of the room! I had one H E C K of a good time browsing the stationery + prints sections where I picked out a peach gel pen, an adorable animal sticker sheet, and a fun pug print (which came with an envelope!). I'd highly recommend checking this store out for all things artsy, neat, whimsical, and fun.

My husband and I couldn't leave without purchasing some accessories for our office (click and felt coasters).

Stop by and pick yourself out a little something.

Wandering around Portsmouth after lunch, my friend and I wandered into this store because she loves…read moreall things print-related. Me, not so much unless I'm in need of something, but I tagged along. So glad I did! This is a cute little store with lots of things to catch the eye. Not just the obvious--print services, cards, stationery, etc.--but also things like recyclable bags and other gifty items. I walked out of there with a small size (there was a large variety of bags for different uses) Baggu reclyclable bag I can fold up and pop into my purse for use when I need it. Handy for carrying leftovers from restaurants, quick trips to CVS/Walgreens or other places where you just want a couple of things. In fact it would have been handy for my trip to Gus & Ruby! Next time......

If Gus & Ruby Letterpress' high-quality products could be paired with high-quality customer…read moreservice, they would be great. Unfortunately, their poor customer service makes working with Gus & Ruby Letterpress frustrating and disappointing. We worked with Gus & Ruby Letterpress to create an invitation suite and day-of stationery for a formal wedding in Boston. It started out great with an initial meeting in the store. We looked through samples, felt the quality of the paper, and left with exciting ideas for the invitations. Little did we know this would be our last in person meeting, and that even reaching a live person on the phone would be extremely difficult as we moved forward. After our first meeting we submitted ideas and details for the first draft of the wedding suite. Then we waited 14 business days for a first proof. The proof was completely off the mark. The designers at Gus & Ruby Letterpress did not seem to read what we had asked for. For example, one envelope liner option contained fall-colored abstract daisies for a spring formal wedding. We tried to convey our ideas as clearly as possible but the communication channel from us, to our salesperson, to the design team, played out like a game of telephone with a tin can and a string. The message did not get through. After several weeks of revisions, we eventually arrived at a beautiful invitation suite that fit our vision. If communication had been better, we would have reached the final product a lot sooner. During this whole process we never felt like we were a priority, a valued customer, and we often felt dismissed. We continued to work with Gus & Ruby Letterpress for our day-of stationery because there was not time to search out a new stationer and because their products are high-quality. However, it was frustrating to only communicate through email. Our concerns never seemed to be acknowledged by our salesperson. No human ever answered the phone at Gus & Ruby Letterpress. Our overall experience with Gus & Ruby Letterpress fell far short of what we expected from a high-end, custom stationer. I cannot recommend them.

I thought it would be a short stop, but as soon as I saw all of the crystals and jewelry I knew it'd be much longer. I wasn't wrong. I could barely get them out of the store. Tons of nicely polished seashells too. The back room is full of them. By the time they picked out all of their crystals, jewelry, and sweatshirts, it was $300. Not a cheap store by any means, but a worthwhile stop for us. The woman behind the counter was friendly and engaging. Great service

I think I have about 4-5 different pieces from her each one crafted from hand by the owner, Holly. I got to choose the stone I wanted from a large selection of ethically sourced natural crystals and gems (no lab made or colored) and she made the piece in her workshop. I treasure every piece I have. So much so that when my niece graduated from college, I had Holly make a ring for her which is now her favorite piece. If you want what everyone else has go to macys. If you want a one of a kind piece of art, go to Edward Owl.
