My Favorite Shop

Contributor at Insider Pages

This is my favorite little shop in all of Providence. The owners are super friendly and the service is amazing. If you're looking for a really special gift for yourself or for your loved ones, this is the place to go. They have a lot of Asian inspired goods like bowls, beautiful wooden chopsticks, teapots, cups etc. I also love their kimono-like robes and jackets. But it doesn't stop there. They have toys and clothing for babies, jewelry, knitted items, art from local artists, cool picture frames, and more! And personally, the prices are not that bad considering a lot of their items are hard to find anywhere else. Check it out!

truly charming gift shop

by hellcatholly at Citysearch

I come here for all of my birthday and holiday shopping and leave with a bag full of goodies for me too. Last week I went in to find a birthday gift for a friend who loves animals. I found a really cute looking hedgehog made of tree bark. You have to see it. I bought myself an asian parasol mobile and my boyfriend bought a Kenyan soapstone hippo. I can't wait to go back. Staff is very friendly and will gift box everything at the counter.

• Pros: full of wonderful gifts you would never see in a mall.
• Cons: very small so a hand full of people will fill it.
