As a professional tile installer I was estatic about this store coming to Waltham. I went there the…read morefirst week it opened to look around. Saw a lot of nice tile and noticed that they even carry tools and other supplies needed to install tile. The most recent visit will probably be last time I will visit this store. This was the second time I was not able to get the item I was looking for. One might think that a simple hole saw for a standard shower diverter valve would be available, but no. They carry some other sizes that no one uses so they probably think the market for hole saws is not profitable. Well if you don't carry the size that people use, it won't be profitable. Great for a homeowners who just want to look at tile. But for a professional installer they just don't work. Anyway they can run their business their own way and I wish them luck.

When I brought it back, they wouldn't take back two of the boxes because they were opened on the end and the manager showed no empathy or customer service skills - just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. I'm no stranger to big box stores or DIY, but this interaction was very disappointing.

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.
