This shop is so fun and I always love going in. If you need a fun gift or card, this place is a must. They also have clothing, accessories and so much more. It's all adorable! I left with an opossum hat. So random but perfect and very fun! Everyone here was so nice and for providence, I found the prices to be very reasonable! read more

Anytime I'm in the area and time permits. I come to Frog & Toad - East! They have the most interesting and campy little accessories, decor, clothing, and housewares. From the fun baseball caps bearing phrases that are dripping with sarcasm to the posters, bumper stickers and lapel pins that add a little levity to life. 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. read more

After lunch we passed through a fun neighborhood and our attention caught by a shop with lots of metal animal sculptures lining the sidewalk. 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. read more

Frog and Toad has been a favorite of mine for years. It's one of those stores that I love going to poke around in and quite often leave empty handed. But when I do make a purchase, it's a great find! Think of specialty gifts. Quirky items. Funny photos/magnets/stickers/pins. Local artists sell items here and a lot pertaining to RI and local cities/towns. I am not sure if they still offer this but they used to gift wrap for free. But this place does have a little higher price point. But you get what you pay for... read more

Frog & Toad - East - Coaster gold - Gift Shops Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I found this cute little shop while searching online for the forever and always sold out Sonny Angels. Which I'm so happy to find that they don't price gouge for them. They sell them a little more than retail at $13.75 vs $12.99. Their shipping costs are also super reasonable, such a rare find these days! My order shipped within a few days and arrived in about a week. They even included a cute little pin as a surprise, which made my day. I'd definitely order from them again! read more

I stopped in this afternoon to see if anything stood out for this holiday season. I'm not claustrophobic by any means, however I felt like what I imagine an anchovy packed in a tin would feel like. The store had a strange smell and the employees weren't friendly either. I've purchased a few Rhode Island themed items from here in the past- the store has so much potential if it were organized a bit better. read more

Came here because Frog & Toad was listed as a stockist for a brand I like and was pleasantly surprised by just how many fun treasures they had! I couldn't find the brand, but I ended up getting a postcard and a little figurine. Great place to shop for gifts. read more

This store needs to have a sign explaining the return policy somewhere by the cash out counter. I bought a ceramic teapot and teacups. As I am checking out I ask her if I can use it on the stove, she couldn't answer the question. After I paid, she calls her manager. Her manager let me know that it cannot be used that way. I told her I would like a refund for the $47 and that's when I find out it's store credit only. No where is that listed anywhere near that register (I even asked her if that's posted somewhere in the store and she said it isn't) and she didn't inform me of that while I was checking out. I tried looking around to see if there was something else I wanted and couldn't find anything. Unfortunately, I'm out $47 dollars and with a gift card to a store that's 3000 miles from where I live. I hope the random lady in the store enjoyed the shopping spree on me. read more

We visited Brown University for the whole day, but we still wanted some Rhode Island-related souvenirs. Most souvenir shops are already closed by 5 PM, so we opt-in to visit Frog and Toad. Also, there are not a lot of options for souvenir shops near the university. Frog and Toad mostly consist of random and cool gifts, but they do not have many offers for Rhode Island-related souvenirs. I was still able to find some souvenirs and collectibles I wanted such as magnets and keychains, but they only have very few selections. However, this gift shop is full of fascinating items that I thought would be good for gifts for birthdays and other special occasions. They have some quirky posters, mugs, stickers, etc. If you're looking for something fun to give, this is a place for you! For any post-holiday White Elephant occasions, this is a fun store to choose your gift. read more

I love this quirky little gift shop! It's definitely a must-stop on my Christmas shopping run, especially if you have someone on your list who has a love for pop culture. They have a cute little section filled with kitschy pop culture-centric books, cards, decor, etc. They also have a wide variety of Rhode Island-themed items, perfect if you're making a care package. Humorous knick knacks, stationary, patches, souvenirs, etc. - it can all be found here. The staff is friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable (maybe a little high but that's to be expected with a local mom-and-pop store). One of my favorite little gift shops on the East Side! read more

Loved this store filled with fanciful and frivolous items that make the most perfect gifts! There were books, housewares, jewelry and clothing and even more than that! I ended up getting a frozen lemonade key chain for a Rhode Islander in the family and a hilarious apron for a friend! I also left with an excellent recommendation for a lunch spot down the street. They also gift wrap! Yes! read more

A real fun souvenir shop to stop at while in Providence. We asked the locals about where we could find interesting local souvenirs and they directed us here. Really cool and interesting items to purchase. Prices are fairly reasonable. Give it a shot I am sure you will find something interesting to purchase. read more

Can't think of a better place to shop for that random gift or an eclectic selection of random stocking stuffers. This store is loaded with local favorites and gift that make people smile or laugh. So many unique finds here. Buy a few gifts here. The staff is very helpful and they are more than happy to wrap your gifts at no extra charge. My new favorite gift store. read more

I have been a shopper her for years. It is well worth the trip. You will find new and different items with each visit.

I'm only recommending this store because of the great selection of novelty items. Otherwise, I would give them a 1! The woman at the register acted put out because I interrupted her running her mouth with a co-worker to make a dang purchase. There was no greeting, no "thank you", and I had to ask for the receipt. It was barely in my hand and she was back to yapping! Speaking loud & inappropriately for work environment. I'll look for my things online in the future! I hope she's not the owner. read more

Such a fun shop! Unique and quirky! In store shopping or curbside pickup options. From socks, To stickers, coasters, books, silly candles and more! Something for everyone, joke gifts! A little on the pricier side, but that's expected with a mom and pop! A must stop! read more

I really respect the store's decision to stay closed during the pandemic and only offer online shopping and curbside pick up. They shoe sincere caring about employees and community and make some pretty awesome mementos for this very strange time. Knock it off! read more

Hands down the quirkiest, smirkiest, perkiest, classiest, cutest, coolest, smartest, yard dartest and most creative gift shop in my part of the world. read more

This store offers a lot of charming RI gifts but unfortunately the attitudes of some of the staff makes it less likely for me to visit!

Really cute and unique selection of items, including lots of items that refer to Rhode Island. This would be a great place for gifts or souvenirs. Tons of cute enamel pins, post cards, magnets and cards. So many great cards for different occasions and definitely a lot of non-traditional greetings. Also, lots of fun socks! Prices on some items seem a little steep, but you're getting some truly unique stuff. Sales staff was a little stand-off ish, but mellow. Also, there's no sales tax on anything considered hand crafted. read more

Frog & Toad just makes me happy - it really, truly does. When I'm looking for a little something for someone and want it to be cute, quirky, or out of the ordinary, this charming little shop is where I come. The sell funky t-shirts printed with designs of local artists, beautiful jewelery and scarves from India, and little porcelain teapots or dishes from China. The have a wide selection of locally-made items, too - like candles, soaps, handbags and jewelery - which I love. And without fail, anytime I wear, use, or present something I've acquired from Frog & Toad, someone says 'Where did you get that? I want one!' Frog & Toad is my go-to gift shop. It's got spirit and a unique quality that I love. read more

Accidentally stumbled in here while I was waiting for a nail appointment around the corner. What a lovely store filled with unique and interesting gifts! I went on a mini sporadic shopping spree, buying some things for myself and my nephew. They have lovely tea sets, jewelry, clothing, dishes, photographs, thank you cards, children's gifts, and so on. A lot of their merchandise is imported from places around the world, making it a very unique shopping experience. I felt sucked in, and it's really rare for a store to have that kind of power over me, where I go inside and spend a good amount of time walking around and really looking at EVERYTHING for sale. I will definitely keep the Frog & Toad in mind next time I want to shop for interesting and unique gifts! It's definitely worth seeking out when you're in the area, and even if you aren't! It's worth the trip :) read more

I could stay in this shop for hours. There are so many unique and interesting knick-knacks in there -- you'll never get bored. They have a huge collection of hilarious magnets, cool clothing, stickers, cards, and a bunch of other things that I don't even know how to describe. Most of the items are reasonably priced but some of the personalized/handmade things can get pretty expensive. Still, I even had my friend set a reminder on Google Calendar to come back at the start of the next school year so I can buy some awesome new decorations to deck out my room for junior year. Kudos, Frog & Toad. I had a blast. read more

Frog & Toad - East - Sign. - Gift Shops Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I love this store and all the fun and unique items you can find here. This locally owned, family run business has strong ties to the community and has done an excellent job of using their voice and influence to highlight other neighboring businesses, support social causes, and provide a level of whimsy and hope during a global pandemic that has left many of us homebound and isolated. I follow them on social media and have found their posts and stories both inspirational and helpful. I've shopped here a handful of times over the past several months and have enjoyed my "knock it off" and "shut it down" t shirts the most. I have also purchased several gifts for other people and have made the conscious choice to do as much of my holiday shopping locally. They offer fast, free shipping for orders over $25 or curbside pickup, making it super easy to shop safely. I wish gift wrapping was an option, so I could ship items directly to the recipient and save myself a trip to the post office, but i realize that they are likely running on limited hours and with limited staffing. read more

This place is amazing. So many adorable things in this shop! This place is perfect for those times when you need to buy a gift and you have absolutely no idea what to get. There is such a variety in Frog & Toad that you can find a gift for just about anyone. I love that there are many local items in the shop as well. Take advantage of their free gift wrapping. They do a beautiful job! read more

Great store to shop, but then went over the top with the Ultimate Valentine's experience. Great presentation, unique, fun and local. Ashar contacted me when they were on the way and did a great job. read more

This is a lovely place to find unique and local gifts. The staff is very helpful. There are 1 million things to look at and plenty to miss if you don't take your time. Prices are reasonable. Location is great in the middle of Hope Street on the east side. Parking is street only. read more

If you leave Frog & Toad empty-handed, you're doing it wrong. This store is chock-full of amazing, whimsical items, many of them locally made. It's the perfect place to shop for a distinctive gift either for yourself, or friends and family of all ages. They've got Rhode Island and Providence-themed stuff, jewelry, leather goods like bags and clutches, knit hats and scarves, ceramics by local artists, festive glassware and salt and pepper shakers, Jellycat brand stuffed animals, other games and toys for children, and countless other funky objects like bottle openers, night lights, and socks and pencils with sassy messages. Right now enamel pins are really popular, and they've got a great bunch to choose from made by a variety of artists and designers. Have you been dreaming of adorning your backpack with an avocado pin, or a pin depicting the dancing twins emoji? You'll find those here. In terms of cards, they also have a huge selection of them for every occasion and seasonal holiday, with messages that range from heartwarming to hysterical. Stumped about what to get someone, either because they're hard to buy for or they seem to have everything? Head to Frog & Toad, they won't let you down! read more

I almost never leave horrible reviews for places, but I don't get the point of this store. It has an adorable name, which works in its favor, but then you walk in and it's like Anne Geddes and a wayward Hallmark Card writer got together to throw things at you. They have everything you can possibly pack into a tiny space and nothing you'd actually want to buy. I'm not sure why it's described as a gift "boutique," when it's more of an eensy tchotchke emporium. I've been in 3 times, each time thinking I must be missing something since it's so beloved, but I always last about 2 minutes before I start having a claustrophobic panic attack. I don't know. Maybe if they cleared out 3/4 of their stock and included things you'd actually want on display in your house. This is the meanest review I've ever written, and yet I stand by it. read more

I freakin love this place. It's the perfect place for a quirky gift or a little treat for myself. I love being able to buy local art and small-business-made products, and Frog & Toad delivers! The merchandise is generally fairly priced and eclectic, with everything from kitchenwares to jewelry to clothing to toys. They've also got great local souvenirs (gotta love the "You Can Go to Hell, I'm Going to Pawtucket" alligator design). I bought a Christmas gift here and they did complementary gift wrap in a lovely purple box with green ribbon. I love a place with a good free gift wrapping! The only downside is that the store is small for all the wares they sell, so it can get very crowded and scary to navigate. Don't wear a big backpack inside unless you're sure you can maneuver without taking somebody out! read more

I love this store! I could spend a few hours in here because there are so many unique gift items scattered around the store. Not only that, the girls at the counter were really friendly. They even wrap up the items for you! read more

Great local store to find one of a kind gifts that I think you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else! There is something for everyone - handbags, sunglasses, tees, baby clothing, toys and trinkets, jewelry, etc. If you're looking for something unique - this is your place! read more

This is my go-to place in Providence for quirky and adorable gifts. They carry a wide variety of Rhode Island-themed cards, clothing, journals, scarves, bags, jewelry, kitchen items, and trinkets all at a range of prices. The items here are so irresistible that I enter to buy a gift for someone else and always end up buying something for myself too. I love how the shop gets rearranged every few weeks, and that rearrangement alone is so fun to look at. The friendly staff members are genuinely eager to help with your gift-giving (and receiving, if you're like me) needs. They're very knowledgeable and go out of their way to ensure you're completely satisfied with your purchase. I once wanted four plates, but the store only carried two at the time. Instead of telling me that they were out-of-stock and asking me to come back when more were available, the staff immediately took down my contact information, ordered more plates, and called me when they were available. All in a matter of a couple of days! That kind of service is so rare these days and it's a true testament to the staff's commitment to helping the community. The tables, shelves, and racks that the items are beautifully arranged on are also quite beautiful. It doesn't hurt to ask if those are for sale! I know someone who showed interest in a shelf and was able to purchase it from them!! Likelihood of another visit: No question. read more

Not only does Frog &Toad have adorable and often hilarious items that you can't get anywhere else, but their customer service is just outstanding. I just went in there to pick up an item I'd asked them to hold for me, and I'm still a bit giddy at not only what I got, but just how great an experience it was. The item I wanted was one that I had seen on their facebook page. Their initial shipment sold out immediately, and I was heartbroken. So I sent them a message via facebook asking if they could hold one from the next shipment for me. They did, sent me a message when it was in, and I went to pick it up later that day. The little shop was full of customers, but none of the staff were frazzled, and they were all incredibly efficient and friendly. Frog & Toad is one of those stores where you rarely know what you're going to get, and therefore it's another in my "I suck at gift-giving, let's just see what they have" success stories. I love peering in the window, and I love wandering around the space and discovering things. I do wish it was a bit bigger because I feel like I never quite see everything, but that's a small issue. read more

I am addicted to this place. It's full of cute, charming, and unique gifts. If you have a friend who loves the movie Amelie, this is the first place you should stop to buy a gift. They have so many things stuffed into this tiny space, I have yet to leave without finding the perfect gift. Need non-cloying baby gifts? This place will have it. Need something for Mother's Day? They have something that's sure to charm. Need an apartment-warming gift? They have a selection of charming kitchen accessories (bowls, chopsticks, trivets) that almost anyone can use. Need to light a dark corner? They've got a lamp for you. Cheaper than similar places in Boston, and the service is awesome. The gift wrapping is simple, beautiful, and free! read more

Awesome awesomeness great shop for all occasions, great local items, love stopping in, there's always new things to find. Local soaps and bath products can be found, along with local artists and craft items. My favorite is stationery, pens & pencils. Great selection of patches! Love this shop! read more

Can we talk about the name of this place? I loved Frog & Toad (the books) when I was little, and now I can revel in them as an adult! The business name denotes whimsy, and that's exactly what you get. Visiting Frog and Toad is like stepping into a dream state. It's like the Wonderland of gift shops. Scratch that, "gift shop" doesn't do it justice - it's a bazaar, an emporium, a feast for the eyes. Really cool, off-beat work from local artisans, jewelry, dishes, home decor, locally-designed t-shirts. One of my favorite bunny tees was purchased here! They even have cute, off-beat stuff for children! Yesterday, they had these big, rustic, re-purposed metal sculptures - pigs, goats, and a rooster! And the prices are not crazy, even if the variety is! read more

I'll admit it. I own the "Don't mess with... Rhode Island either" T-shirt. And I wear it, proud of my ex-Texan status. This is a nice place for unique handmade gifts or just browsing. I wish I had friends with babies so I could buy them all the cute crap I see in this place: onesies, books, toys. Hear that ladies? Get that bun in the oven, or at least start making the dough. I agree with Imo though, don't bring a child into the store (or an overly clumsy adult) because it can get very crowded and require some navigating during peak hours. read more
