The place is well stocked with every item you can think of for any occasion!…read moreYou can actually be there for a long while walking up and down each aisle ! The service is a bit slow but we had no choice but to be patient. Only one person at the register and and older women blowing up balloons . Hoping that our large order does not get mixed up or missing any balloons from our order cause our event is actually like most customers important. Last order never arrived and we did get a refund but that's not what we wanted to happen and disappoint family member . This order needs to be precise and complete and I am hoping all goes well. Let's see what the outcome will be... I will keep you posted if not! But the value is reasonable and comparable to others. They might need to get another cashier who could be faster or more knowledgeable of this store. She could have been new but the other women should have noticed she struggled and actually took over . But, order will determine if we come back in the future!!! Cross our fingers!

The space was large and Amanda created a magic with the balloon centerpieces, arch and balloon trees. The room took our breath away.

It was a true pleasure to work with Amanda!

I stumbled upon this place during the week when I was getting prepared for the #stationerystoreday…read moreunfortunately they weren't on the list of shops to browse for the official day (I think they missed the deadline) but I am hoping they will be included next year. 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.

All craft roads lead to Playtime--an unassuming yet remarkable arts and crafts supply store in…read moreArlington Center. As a gifter, I don't fully understand how I didn't know about this place before, but I'm so glad I do now. I went for a family project recently when closer craft shops didn't have what we needed. There's an abundance of arts and crafts supplies here, housed in two interconnected basement rooms, along with an impressive paper and picture frame selection (among other items) on the first floor. The atmosphere is one of a kind--more like an arts-and-crafts boutique curated by the owner, with items you won't easily find together elsewhere. Because of the sheer breadth, some categories (like fabrics, for example) have a smaller variety, which is just an observation, not a critique. Ribbons are unrivaled. If you don't have time to wander, ask--the best part of our experience was the owner, Carol, and the staff (thank you, Lilly). They are wonderfully kind, patient, and creative, offering thoughtful, gentle advice for your projects and genuinely care about their customers. Tip: There's a parking lot in the back or bus 87 drops you off right in front, literally. Highly recommended local business.

A friend recommended coming here w/ my mom to look for yarn for her knitting projects and my friend prefaced that this place was the BEST for any type of arts, crafts, decor, etc. Well, WOW!! And funny enough, my mom used to go to this store when she was a little girl in the late 50s-60s to get Nancy Drew books. She said it was EXACTLY how she remembered as a kid. I was awe struck by everything this store had. I will definitely be making this place a regular stop for gifts for people and for fun. Forget going to places like Michaels. Come to this local, family-owned business which I guarantee will have whatever you are looking for. It's an incredible place.

Highly recommend Boston Party Adventures for birthday singing telegrams!…read more A local Boston area compare run by a guy named Joey that was super diligent and responsive. We were really struggling because the "online florist" that was supposedly "local" missed delivery of flowers ordered 5 days earlier. USPS could get the gift delivered even though it was sent a week earlier. Joey arranged to have Scott come to our daughter's 25th birthday celebration at a local pub. Scott did an OUTSTANDING job making sure everything was coordinated as we live in Florida and were not onsite. Can't thank Scott and Joey enough for making this happen precisely as needed and without any friction at all!
