Its right on Mass Ave across from Kickstand Cafe and is affiliated with Davis squared in Somerville. Expect to pay for a meter if you drive. There's on street parking and the Arlington Center parking lot which always has space. I always buy my sister-in-law earrings here for Christmas, but really I want them. There are funny gifts, trendy gifts, beautiful gifts. Gifts for foodies, grandmas, babies, etc. Hostess gifts, birthday gifts, holiday gifts, white elephant gifts for your yankee swap. I would not come here to buy gifts for a child. There is Henry Bears Park down the street for that. But other than that you could pretty much buy anybody a gift here.

Imprint Express prints stuff on stuff, basically. You can put your logo on any number of things for…read morepromotional purposes, awards, or just for fun. "Sure," you say, "tons of places do that." But none of them do so with such individual attention, competitive pricing, flexibility, patience, and above-and-beyond customer service. My school wanted to produce a small number of baseball caps with our logo to be given to our biggest donors. From a list we picked Imprint Express. Good choice. Throughout the long process from start to finish we had personal help from a single representative. If you have ever undertaken one of these projects you'll know how fantastic it is to have one person you're working with rather then a mini-call center where instructions are lost in a jumble of bureaucracy and a lack of accountability. They treated us with a small-scale project with incredible attention; like we were some huge contract. They even went so far as to liiterally send a person to our school to go over thread colors with us. I don't know of any other place that would do that. This is old school customer service like it should be.

I stumbled upon Imprint Express on Google when looking for a company to make shirts for the Boston…read moreMarathon...and I'm so happy I found them! They ususally don't take small orders (we only needed 5 shirts) but they were more than happy to work with us. They were so friendly, efficient and helpful! After our 1st meeting with them I had an email with a possible layout within 30mins - amazing! The process from start to finish was seamless. Talk about customer service - Katie even delivered the shirts to my office because of timing! The shirts look GREAT! And I know they are going to get us thru 26.2 miles BOSTON STRONG!!

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. A great small business and a great place for gift or holiday shopping.

I felt like a bull in a china shop (I'm one of 3 people who still use that phrase)…read more Younger guy at the counter was an arrogant dick as soon as I walked in the place BUT it's also the only place I've ever been to since 2006 where you can buy "incense" on credit so 3/5 stars... plus one star for the older guy who probably owns the place. Met him on my return trip and he was waaay cooler to deal with. Again, the only issue was the younger guy, maybe he just had an off day. Not cool to take out your personal issues on the guy helping to pay your rent.

Piro printed my wedding invitations in 2007 and did a great job for a reasonable price…read more This is a little hole-in-the-wall shop with no parking of its own, so you'll need to find a street spot. Inside, it's nothing fancy, though they do have several huge volumes of sample invitations to browse. I picked a cream colored stock with some pearlescent designs on the border and a fairly standard calligraphy font. The invitations were printed on time, without errors, and looked exactly how I had envisioned them. You can't really ask for more! My parents have also used them on several occasions and been happy with the results. I know that the pricing for my invitations was competitive, and significantly lower than some other options. I think because they do not specialize in weddings, you don't pay a premium above the normal market cost for a print job. I know Piro has also printed the booklets for some events I've attended in the city of Somerville, and those have also been good quality.

I agree with person who says if you want to be treated poorly, patronize this place. I was looking…read moreat their wares, I was approached by a man who works there and was asked if I had any questions. And I said "how much is a scarf, I looked at the ones on the other side of the floor and didn't see a tag." TBH, there was a tag, but no price on that tag. He reported with "there's a tag on every scarf." This is not a way to talk to a potential customer. I usually say "never say 'never'", but I will NEVER shop here. And also, if somebody's has less than five stars, the score is actually lower than shown because people give one star actually want to give new stars. I'm one of them.
