This is one of my favorite places in the Downcity to browse, get a gift, get something for me. They have lots of stuff that have a Rhode Island inspired theme or just fun, high quality stuff that you could find in any nice upscale gift shop anywhere in the world. Craftland is a mix of card shop, gift store and souvenir store. The staff is pleasant and very helpful if you need their help. The stuff is all colorful and well laid out, so when I walk in the store, it feels bright and cheerful. This last time I got some t-shirts for my nieces...they have lots of colors, patterns, logos, designs and sizes. You can fell the quality of the fabric when you grab them, not the thin cheap ones that you get like in the streets of New York...LOL.. read more

My favorite kind of shop--filled with the work of tons of artists, makers, creators/ creatives. I always love seeing what local artists are up to-- their sense of humor, what resonates with locals, common themes I'm picking up while wandering multiple stores. I loved the selection of cards here, tons of fun jewelry, lots of whatnots. I do find all the "no photos" annoying. Just because someone wants to take a pic doesn't mean they are running out to rip off your work, in fact, I think most of us forget about the photos we took, but for me, it's how I remember I want to go back to a place for something certain. People will always steal ideas, photos or not, so maybe try not to have such a scarcity mentality. Anyway, if you local/ maker stuff, this is the go to spot in Providence. read more

As soon as your step foot in this store, its impossible to be anything but happy. It is filled with color and unique, hand-made gifts. There was so much to look at and I could have spent all day in here. The shop-worker was so friendly and helpful too. Prices were very reasonable as well. read more

This is a fantastic store in downtown Providence. So much to look at, it took me two 30 minutes rounds of this small space to feel like I had seen everything! Everything for sale is unique and artist made. Craftland is also located on a long run of interesting shops, coffee houses and eateries which are all close to the RISD campus. read more

Found the perfect handcrafted souvenir, the shop was interesting and offered something for everyone.

This store is awesome. It has the craft, independent artist vibe. The store owner is super nice and helpful. They have so many good things, t-shirts, stickers, art, jewelry. They request photos on be taken since art ideas could be stolen, I respect that. Great shop for gifts, souvenirs and for yourself. If you find yourself in Providence, come and support your local craft store! read more

Such a cool store! I was looking for some local gifts to bring home from our visit and I stumbled upon Craftland. It's a great mix of local artist works, RI t-shirts, jewelry, and trinkets, they also have really nice cards and paper crafts. I ended up finding a few things I love, and love that these are not items you will find anywhere else. Highly recommend to stop in, very happy I did. read more

Craftland is a Providence institution. I haven't lived in Rhode Island for over a decade, but their creative wares still grace the walls and countertops of my Virginia home. I recently placed an online order and the manager went above and beyond to fill my request and get my items to me. (Thank you!) I will forever support this incredible local business and the artisans that they promote! read more

Great little shop selling art, jewelry, t-shirts, stationary, and more - many of the objects made/designed by local and regional artists. My friend and I were visiting Providence and Newport for a weekend, and our last morning in Providence we were just wandering around downtown checking out the shops. Craftland was a great find. I got some great earrings made by a local jewelry designer and my friend found some art she wants to frame and display in her house! Great local shop. read more

Looks like I'm the first guy to review Craftland. Come on guys I can't be the only one who likes this kind of stuff. I admit it I like these types of stores. This is not just an arts and craft store. They have a nice variety of stuff in a small store. Best of all most of the products are made in RI. Cool and quirky RI made T-shirts. All kinds of artistic creations. My personal favorites were the colorful plastic light fixtures that appear to be glass and each one is unique. I will buy one when I find a place where it could be hung. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great downtown store worth checking out if you are visiting the area or live nearby. Prices are reasonable and you know what, I would spend a few cents or dollars more for locally made products. read more

Although the items in the store are unique, they are way overpriced for what they are worth. The staff has somewhat of an attitude. What turned me off the most was the politically and racially oriented signs in the window that I and others have found unnecessary and offensive. Craftland, please stick to selling merchandise. read more

This shop is so freaking cute! They have so many trinkets and accessories made by local artists. I love supporting local shops and this shop is a great place to go to if you like to do that as well. The woman at the counter was super friendly and helpful when I had questions. I also loved the music they were playing at the shop, it made our shopping experience more fun and the atmosphere more inviting. I would definitely come back here again when I'm in the area. read more

Cute shop with tons of unique and cool greeting cards. Definitely come here if you're looking for a quirky birthday card for a friend or relative! Some interesting jewelry but, IMO, pretty overpriced for what it was. Fun to browse and I'll keep this in mind for gifts in the future, but I didn't see anything I had to have. Love the concept overall though. Lots of cute totes and stickers and pins too! read more

This is where you need to go if you are looking for the perfect and unique local gift. LOTS of interesting art, jewelry, t shirts and so many perfect cards for any occasion. They are taking health precautions seriously with signs and open doors and lots of reminders to sanitize before touching merch. My go-to for any hostess or holiday gift. read more

Just your typical paper store with some incredible cards! It's tucked in the corner in the arts district. Very colorful and bright. They have everything from baby clothes (mostly onesies and t shirts), lights, organize candles and lotion. Postcards, pins, calendars etc. read more

Wow, Craftland is really a great place to visit on a regular basis! They do an awesome job of bringing new product in, as well as keeping around the old favorites. I absolutely love that you can get locally made art and prints, printed clothing, jewelry and home goods all under one roof. What really stands out though is the stationery. This is hands down the best place to shop for stationery in the state. This state is really lacking in a legit stationery store and Craftland does the trick for unique and handmade cards. While I love love love everything they carry, they could up their stationery game by encroaching a bit on the jewelry section and expanding the stationery wall. They have the right idea by putting the cards on a wall display rather than entirely on spinning racks. It allows for easy viewing and showcases the amazing talent of the artists they feature. The stationery artists they carry are local, regional and national. I'd love to see even more! Oh, and I was so happy to find the little 'no photo' tags all over the place. One more thing to combat art/IP/idea stealing is a plus in my book! I've had too many friends get their ideas ripped off by companies who like to scout out local gems like Craftland for ideas. I'm not sure if that is why the no photo tags were up, but I hope so. Every time I've been in the staff has been friendly and helpful. read more

this place is super cute and great for getting a feel for Rhode Island and some New England life. They also have a great collection of local art and cool pins and jewelry. my friend who lives in the area took us here and we stayed for a little while to see the variety of interesting stationary and magnets! would highly recommend for anyone visiting! read more

First off, this review is WAY overdue as an update. Secondly, the staff at Craftland really touched my heart with their efforts since my first review of the store. In the following Fall after my Yelp review, my partner and I decided to take another chance on Craftland as we were walking through the city. While I felt like I was setting myself up for disaster again, I wanted in because they have such cool things and I liked giving them my money before my brain fritzed out. I mean, it's a small business, they support local designers, and it is quirky and interesting... basically everything I could ever want in a store. So with my noise canceling headphones on, in we went again and browsed around. Yup, the music was loud, but I did not want to bring attention to myself so I just gritted my teeth and started looking through their wares quickly because I didn't expect to be in the store very long due to the volume. After a minute or so, the music dimmed considerably. While it was a breathe of relief for my brain, it seemed odd because we were the only ones in the store so someone else couldn't of complained about the volume. I looked up and there a staff member that kindly smiling at me. As no-one else was in the store, I knew the volume had to of been lowered for me. I was shocked, a little embarrassed and also touched. I walked over to her somewhat sheepishly, thanked her for lowering the volume and asked her how she knew to lower the noise. She told me that the Craftland staff had read my review and had just felt horrible about the interactions I had been having in their store. She apologized, said they talked about it and while none of them could remember what happened, they were really sorry. This is why shopping in the small community shops matter. Where else would this happen- with the staff reading the Yelp reviews and enacting change to provide personal attention to their customers if they can? That sales woman really made me feel like the staff cared and that they were sorry. When a business reaches out and says; we see your difficulties and we'd like to help, it just makes life a little easier to move through. Since then, I've been back in the shop quite a few times and it has been lovely each visit. I really appreciated their honesty, their continued efforts, and their attention to their community. I continue to love the space they have created and the artists they support. It is hard to make changes if you aren't aware someone has been hurt and this is where Yelp reviews really work. Everyone has bad days and we don't necessarily know how this can impact others, but I certainly don't want to hold their store to behavior they weren't aware of and have since rectified really kindly anymore. They read about the problem, they made changes and were kind about it. Isn't that what we all want and are working towards? Understanding, Growth, Collaboration? They did these things and I'm so thankful that I took another chance on them. So, thanks Craftland staff, your compassion and attention to your customers is A+ in my book now. read more

This is a such a cute little place! If you're in need of a cute quick gift this place has tons of options. Candles, art, cute jewelry, mugs, etc. great location and fun place to walk through if you're strolling. read more

I finally made it to this shop and it was worth it. It is such a cute shop with handmade items done by such creative people. This a place to go for that unique gift for a loved one and you won't regret it. Items from baby bibs, blankets, candles, soaps, jewelry, art, etc. You can't, and wont, go wrong I promise. read more

I love the new Craftland. The space is a bit smaller, but I like it better than the old space as it's feels a bit more cohesive and manageable. There's also a ton of natural sunlight, which is lovely -- you can really see the gorgeous textures, colors and details in all the hand-made goodies! Quite honestly, Craftland is where I come for most of my gift-buying -- there's usually something for everyone, from prints to tees to jewelry, and all of it is made by independent artisans, many of them from RI. My favorites are the tees -- really soft, high-quality tees with great graphics that make a perfect gift. The prices range from very affordable to investment pieces -- in particular the earthenware. Everything is so beautiful and beautifully made, too which makes shopping both a pleasure and difficult, since I often end up wanting one of almost everything! Also, Craftland is my go-to for stationery items -- they have wonderfully quirky little cards, stationery sets and postcards that range from sweet to cheeky. Love it! read more

This is a fantastic store comprised of makers and artists, many of whom are local. I really like the carefully curated selection. I also appreciate that the owners are really involved in the community. read more

It's a fun place, but I can't really see myself buying anything from here simply because everything is too expensive. Beautiful letter-size calendar? It would be the perfect gift for $20 or even $25 if I'm feeling generous, but $30 is just too high for what is, in the end, paper goods. I thought there might be some hidden deals somewhere in the store, but the same sticker shock happened with all their other merchandise (rings, t-shirts, jewelry, prints, cards, etc.). I guess it just felt weird to be charged luxury prices in such a fun, kooky environment. Bye, Craftland, see you when I'm rich! read more

This place has awesome local gifts, kitchenware, prints, stationery and cards, jewelry, baby gifts, and more. Happened upon it walking along Westminster after a delicious lunch at Veggie Fun on the way to Symposium Books. Love that they give some of their profits to organization such as Planned Parenthood and the ACLU! My husband treated me to a pair of cool, wooden earrings. read more

Trendy tchachke boutique with cards, jewelry, tshirts, posters, kitchen stuff, totes, etc. Good for a stop to get a quirky local gift. A little on the pricey side but their culling the good stuff makes it worth it. read more

What a great shop. We found a bunch of items from local artists to bring back to Phoenix with us. We love getting unique souvenirs from all of the places we visit that are outside of your typical gift shop/airport shop souvenir stands. The two employees that were working were so much fun to talk to and gave us a bunch of insider tips on where to go eat. Definitely recommend! read more

Absolutely love this place....but I have to watch myself when I pop by (trips here can get pricey). An amazing selection from artists local to PVD or local to our nation - calendars, cat nip toys, notepads, jewelry, perfectly comical screenprinted tees, and HILARIOUSLY snarky greeting cards for virtually every occasion (I always end up snatching up 5+ every trip I make here - brings a massive smile to the face of the recipient). For treats and treasure and wee trinket gifties - Craftland is absolutely superb. Even wandering between the products is a delight (music is always a good selection, light-lit space, fun employees - it's like eating your favorite ice cream with rainbow sprinkles on a perfect summer day). read more

I LOVE Craftland! I have been wanting to visit for years and it was everything I expected. An extremely well curated collection of art and other awesome goodies! It definitely is a great place to get a gift, card, or present for anyone fun! read more

I used to love coming here and came a few times a year to buy unique birthday presents, Christmas presents, etc for everyone on my list. I especially like the t shirts. But will not be back after an encounter with a very rude employee earlier today. There is simply no reason to be rude to a regular customer as I can find comparable merchandise at other stores like Frog and Toad. Bad attitude is bad business. read more

Interesting place, but nothing that unusual or that I had to buy. It was fun to browse around, but not inspiring.

If you're looking for a Providence or Rhode Island themed gift, this is your spot. They have plenty of postcards, regular cards, prints, tees, keychains, etc all with local scenery and sayings. They also have a fantastic selection of cute and witty cards for all occasions. read more

I have always found the most unique, inventive gifts at Craftland made by local artists and well-established crafters alike. The shop is *so much fun* to browse, and has everything from jewelry to kids stuff, paper goods and original art. Definitely stop by on your next stroll downcity and prepare to find and buy perfect gifts for even the most difficult to shop for! Really great Rhode Island souvenirs, too! read more

Just tons of cute and interesting stuff. They have a lot of prints, accessories, and jewelry from many of the local crafters and artists you'll see around if you go to enough area craft fairs, but all in one place at one time, as well as some work from crafters and artists from farther afield. read more
