It has so many unique and interesting items from candles to clothing and everything in between. While here, I opted to get a Tarot Card reading. I was skeptical when I noticed how young the person was that would do my reading but actually he ended up being spot on!! I highly recommend a reading there and pick up a few items like this "hand chain." #&DrRuss

The store is very crowded and it's hard to get around but the selection is very large.

I definitely stop by here when I'm looking for fun gifts to give out of towners because there are so many references to local staples that are uniquely Rhode Island. Did I mention the staff is super nice every time I come in here? They know I'm mostly browsing and eventually will find something. They're helpful when you need them and they let you be to just explore and have a good time... sharing insights when they are needed and just overall helping make this a chill shopping atmosphere.

We popped into Frog and Toad to see what else they had to offer. We found it was a fun spot full of eclectic trinkets and items, gifts and clothing. Some specific to the area, some not so much, but fun nonetheless. They offer items in many price ranges , and items good for young and old alike. We enjoyed looking through all the items, getting some good laughs and even picking up a few small items to take home. This shop is a fun and unique spot, definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I'm strange so I like the Christmas scents all year long: balsam cedar, balsm fir and scotch pine. I also LOVE French apple pie... my mom gets banana nut bread and it's good but not my scent... if you like fresh laundry, clean sheets hits the notes, but too much for me (I know, with the balsam and cedar all year long who am I to say)?! Great local business, really LOVED the previous owners (I believe they sold all the recipes-so all is still great). Haven't been in person in forever cuz they are only open early on Saturdays so I have my mom get them for me or order online...

Because the shop is on the small side and it absolutely filled with goodies, the service is impecable. A warm greeting, a helpful eye, a friendly chat. There's also a section in the back that has children's clothing and other items, and what looked like a sewing station for personalization of any number of items or even tailoring. This will become one of my go-to spots for picking up a lovely gift for a friend or even for myself! Only thing is, no parking means circling Wayland Square or paying for one of the nearby lots.
