The others focus more on beauty products and some blind boxes and bathroom necessities. This store has a ton of cute things for your loved ones, a Photo Booth, cute tidbits for your tooth brushes, phone charms, art supplies etc. Now the BIG BIG hello kitty, Sanrio character plushes i think are $250+ but they are .. what one might think would be life size for what hello kitty would be haha. One staff member working, greeted as we walked in and overall nice. Appreciate how organized and clean the store is, makes it a breeze to navigate.

Teehee has everything Hello Kitty/Sanrio from plushies, pencil pouch cases, accessories, apparel, & more. I'm OBSESSED with their large Hello Kitties & little knick knacks. Very pricey though, in my opinion, but as expected. There's a couple stores similar Allston & Chinatown (Tao's & Reiwatakiya), but Teehee has much more for options if you're looking for Sanrio.

After lunch, we decided to go on a stroll and explore the stores around. We're always in the area…read morelooking for new restaurants to try but never really realized there were so many cool stores in the neighborhood! We stumbled upon Boston General Store & it's literally awesome! This store is a great place to go to get unique gifts for others, or for yourself, who don't really need anything but nice to have. I loved the stationary goods section and was ecstatic to find they had mechanical pencils with 2.0 mm lead! This was my favorite lead to write with growing up but I was never able to find them in the U.S. (I would bring these pencils back from Asia). So, it was very nostalgic for me when I saw them & wrote on the notepad with it! I didn't end up purchasing it because I found $12 to be quite steep for one singular pencil that I have no use for currently BUT I do see myself coming back for it haha. They also had a bunch of different home essentials like soaps, honey, & jams here, which I found to be pretty cool & unique. I would definitely come back again to grab some pens & to find gifts! Parking: meter street parking & parking lot behind Maruichi's.

Cool vibe, lotsa curated trinkets, fountain pens (weights models), house slippers, art supplies, brushes, handkerchiefs ?, and more. Tested some of their pens and there is definitely a story behind them and their designs. A bit out of my budget for one, but cool to have. Clean store, the house slippers look and feel comfy $95 for your choice of color and pattern. Only had one staff member helping a customer but we didn't need any help browsing.

Upon entering I was…read moreimmediately greeted by one of the owners, who was very welcoming and said to ask him if I had any questions. As the name implies, the store's speciality is olive oil, and you can sample a wide variety of oils and vinegars. If that's not your forte, don't worry because the store has plenty more to offer. I spent a long time just browsing the store because it's beautifully arranged. Even though it's fairly small, they make good use of the space. You can get locally made ice cream and honey, as well as kitchenware imported from all over the world. I found a very cute Christmas gift for my mom. There also sell cheeses, spices, teas, hot sauces - a lot more than I can list. Easily accessible whether you're driving or using public transit. There's street parking in many places along Beacon Street and the shop is right next to the Summit Avenue stop on the C branch of the Green Line.
