It has lots of interesting items, like the very best gift shop you would get in a place like Cape Code. They have, for example, very good cocktail mixes, air plants, kits to cook things like pretzels or fermented hot sauce, interesting kitchen gadgets, and very pretty home decor items like cutting boards and ornaments. Also quite a few interesting games and a lot of aromatherapy and scented candle things. They carry Needham specific items too, like tea towels that say "Real Housewives of Needham" and nice things too. They also sells a lot of vinyl floor coverings, which are also far nicer than you would expect. I might get one as a table covering.

It's a small shop, but it was very cute. They had all kinds of stationary supplies. I have a TN regular and passport so I wanted to get some refills, they also had some hobonichi notebooks and covers as well. They had a bunch of different kinds of pens, washi tapes, stickers, stencils, etc... definitely worth a stop. I also got a TWSBI fountain pen that I wanted and they had it there! Was so happy about that. Got ink for my new pen, they had different brands and colors of ink as well. The employee in the shop was really nice and helpful.

The store owner is absolutely a pleasure to have met! and you can tell that all the items purchased for the store reflect her love of entertaining. Stationery of all sorts - greeting cards, note cards, journals, letter writing sets, themed notepads, etc. My goodness, the selection of paperware alone is quite impressive. What I am saying is if you are having a party and wish to have quality paper plates, napkins, and décor this is the spot to start. They have helium tanks here and a HUGE array of any occasion party balloons. If you follow me you already know that I have a 'thing' for gift baskets... whether it is for a Housewarming, "Thank you' to a client, friend or employee. I only wish I lived closer because this store had EVERYTHING all in one location - higher-end body products, unique regional souvenirs, sturdy creative artwork gift bags, toys for children, candles that are known to have that lingering scent, gorgeous tumblers both ceramic and stainless steel. The culinary treats section is plentiful as well, and at the risk of repeating myself, I'll say it again great store for putting together gift baskets! Curbside metered parking directly in front of the store as well as on the side streets. I return home in a few weeks and I am looking forward to seeing what they have for the Fall merchandise.
