On this…read moreparticular day (while we were waiting in line for Lizzie's) my little one saw frogs and pigs (handcrafted decorations) outside of the store so we decided to go in- we are so glad that we did. Taylor is simply wonderful and she welcomed us into the store. My son said that it was like a dream for him as he was met with a ton of frog trinkets and cool items that peaked his interest. The price was more than reasonable and the selection is phenomenal! Taylor was so sweet and allowed us to be there a little bit later bc my son was so fascinated with their frog selections, so we ended up with a very original card ( I do not think you can get this on other online establishments) and a frog puppet. We appreciate Taylor and the selected rarer items in this store- we will definitely be back!

Kudos to Curate for braving the pandemic and bringing a new gift shop to Cushing Square at a…read morechallenging time! It's conveniently located in the heart of the Square near Savino's, Ovenbird, and the Spirited Gourmet, my other favorite neighbor businesses. Curate is a bright little shop with a variety of classy and fun gifts, stationary, and home items that change with the seasons. I usually pop in to buy a card and a chat with the owner. I've found gifts for hosts, housewarmings, and occasions in between. I especially like their candle selection, many of which are soy based. They carry amazing scents from a small business in Rhode Island, with candles and lotions that smell exactly like the seashore. After a cousin fell in love with one of them, I bought a bagful at the end of the season clearance to treat relatives to a scent party. They also carry British Christmas crackers when in season (like now!). These are so hard to find! The crackers (beautiful wrapped cylinders that pop open when pulled to reveal little gifts) delighted my family when I brought them to our holiday gatherings last year. (Note that crackers contain a tiny amount of gunpowder and technically can't go on a flight, something I had tried before...!) Curate's products tend towards the classy side with mid to higher prices to match. Sometimes I just go to poke around and see what's new. They have some baby gifts and customized items for Belmont and Watertown, but if you want a wider selection, I would go elsewhere. The owner has also kindly offered to order things that I couldn't find directly in the shop, but I haven't tried that option yet.

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.
