I am all for purchasing cool stuff in lieu of your 'standard' souvenir to bring home for friends and family and this place has much to offer. They had a really cute kids section with clothing and books... perfect for that baby shower you have to attend. This is a letterpress and I see on their IG page many lovely invitations for showers, weddings and custom bookmarks.

I had an amazing experience today at the House of Art and Craft! My boyfriend surprised me with a…read moreValentine's Day gift--a candle making and flower arrangement workshop. The space was cozy and from the moment we walked in Steysy made us feel right at home. The workshop was hands on activities and allowed for us to express ourself artistically. We were able to craft our own candles with our selected scent. The collaboration with Flower and Vibe was top notch. It added an extra layer of creativity and working closely with your loved one to create a flower arrangement. The flower arrangement was the perfect touch to go with our candles. The cost of the workshop was $180 for both so I'm assuming it's $90/ pp. It's a bit costly, but for the experience it was worth it.

Just did a candle making workshop here yesterday and it was amazing!! I never knew candle making…read morecould be so calming and relaxing. Our teacher Pertrina (sp?) was excellent!! She guided my group and I through each step of the candle making process and was so clear, easy to follow and informative! She has a background in education and as a fellow educator, she really broke candle making all the way down and even the chemistry behind it! There are many oils to choose from, and you can even mix a few so long as the combination is roughly 30 grams. You also get to choose whatever jar you like. Lucky for me, there was one chrome jar left on the shelf so I was able to grab that one to use! There was also refreshments, wine, and light snacks served during the workshop which was a great addition with the ticket purchase. Now, this is a newer black owned business and women owed business, so I'm happy to support! The shop itself is very quaint, but has a lot of items for purchase, like other candles, perfumes, jewelry, and scents. It's located in the Speedway in Brookline which has a small lot beside it, but there's street parking if you are lucky or a Community Center parking lot a couple minutes away to park at. Apparently, the owner also does soap making classes which sounds very interesting. I'm already thinking of coming back again sometime in the spring with some more friends! Please go! You won't be disappointed!!

I can't believe I've been walking past this place for years! Dress is my new favorite store on…read moreCharles St (and maybe all of Boston). This place carries a beautifully curated collection of trendy upscale brands, with an emphasis on French designers. Whether you're looking for a staple for your capsule wardrobe or a statement piece for the season, Dress has you covered with basics from A.P.C. to funky prints from Saloni. It's also one of the few places on Charles St you can just get a wearable, simple piece of high quality that's still young and fresh. It's pricey, so you likely won't be picking up a ton of casual stuff here, but you might luck out on the 50% off rack. Even if the clothes are out of todays's budget, you should still go to check out the gorgeous selection of perfumes and candles. I'm so glad I found this hidden gem!

Thankfully, they're back in a different area of the North End, still doing their thing of sustainable products. Maria (owner) & her staff + interns are amazingly friendly & helpful! There are probably eco-friendly things here you didn't even know you needed. It's great to be able to bring my empty glass jars or use theirs to get your refills. It's a simple & easy way to get whatever items you need, like body lotion, detergent, & other products. They also have an abundance of plants which is pretty cool. They even do a clothing swap & other events too, so you have to follow them to know when they're happening. The issue is that they're not always open when they're supposed to be which is unfortunate.

These fearless young women are making a sincere effort to challenge the way we live, to strive for…read moremore sustainable practices and to clear the path for the rest of us to make sustainable choices more easily too. I've tried ordering eco products online before and it's been hit or miss. I'm happy to have found a place where I can see things in real life before buying them and make sure they are durable and sized correctly for my needs, even try a toothpaste tablet from the sample container, and talk to real life people who have tried the products so I can find out what makeup remover to use with the bamboo pads and whether shampoo and conditioner bars will have a different feel than the liquid stuff. More bonuses: they are walking distance from the orange line, they said I can bring back empty containers and buy refills, and their plant nursery section is nice. They are a bit pricey, as should be expected with ethically sourced products, not to mention storefronts that pay rent in the North End. Most of what I bought will hopefully last long enough to more than pay for itself. I'll be back!
