I've shopped here many times. Awesome place for gifts. Today I treated myself, and purchased hedgehog measuring cups. So adorable! Actually using for an appetizer station. So many quality items, not overly expensive. Incredible sale area, merchandise from bright and colorful to muted and relaxing. Service is excellent thank you to the owner and coworker. I always enjoyed my time there. read more

this is the perfect shop to get cute things! I am so happy that I discovered this store on one of my walks - it is such good quality items with a good price point as well. this is my new go-to place for seasonal decor to make my home cute. I can't wait to give all my friends little gifts from here. The owner is so nice and helpful and makes the experience even better than it already is. probably my new favorite place to shop for home items :) I recommend following their instagram to stay in touch with the new items they get read more

I love this store and everyone who works there I follow their Instagram or inspiration on what to buy next! Really special individualized gifts. Shop local y'all! read more

Everything is super cute. I wish I could buy it all. The owners taste matches mine. I later went to a gift store in my town and the prices for some of the same items were 20%higher! I was shocked because this a a super cute store in a pricey neighborhood. read more

Cute little local shop, really nice staff, have been in several times since I moved to the area a few weeks ago, always been a pleasure!

Greentail Table was recommended to me by a friend as a good place to buy gifts. I found some great gifts for people who are difficult to buy for. I also always manage to find a number of gifts for myself every time I browse their website. Everything I have bought is quality and beautiful. I've mostly purchased from the website. All the items are just as described and they package everything wonderfully and ship quickly. I'm going to try to make it to the store more often because it's even more fun to browse in person and the women who work there are so pleasant. I love that they are constantly refreshing their selection and that they always have a lot of seasonal items. read more

Great place with a lot of interesting things. The staff were very helpful when I was looking for a special gift.

I love this store! I called the weekend after Mother's Day desperately looking for a card and they said yes they still had some. So I rushed over and they didn't have it out on the floor anymore, but already pulled a pile out for me to look at. I was in a hurry and it was SO nice that they helped me get what I needed so quickly. Everyone there is always so kind and I love going around looking at all the wonderful things they have! read more

Extremely cute store with tons of things I want and try to convince myself I need. Perfectly reasonable prices and the woman who (I'm assuming) owns it is always very friendly. read more

I have passed by this place many times and it looks so cute from the sidewalk so I decided to go in today. I opened the door and got completely ambushed by an old woman who was waving her hands at me saying "we've reached capacity! You have to go outside!" I'm all about the covid restrictions so to me, that's fine to have to wait outside. However, as a first time customer getting bum rushed like that was jarring and speaks greatly towards their customer service skills I'm sure. There's definitely a more tactful way of letting people know the system in place. Most people want to comply by it. But the way this lady treated me made me keep walking. I ended up not going in. They don't deserve my business. Better luck to others who get a warmer welcome. read more

When I walked into Greentail Table in the Nonantum section of Newton over seven years ago I was very happy to see a shop specializing in gifts and home décor. I remember my first impression was that it reminded me of Crate and Barrel on a small scale but when perusing further I realized it offered an even more personal and interesting assortment of things all hand-picked by the owner Linda de Valpine. Linda has a great eye for merchandising and her store offers a terrific selection of things of interest for the home at reasonable price points. Over the years, I have also been impressed with the personnel as they are very courteous and helpful. Marilyn who has been there from the start has helped me on numerous occasions. It is the type of store that one can easily find a gift for even the pickiest of people because Linda has really good taste. I recently bought double-sided placemats that have a different shade of blue on each side and gave them as a birthday gift. My friend wrote me a thank you note and told me not to tell anyone but they were her very favorite present as they were pretty and practical and she said she would use them all the time. So, if you are looking for a gift and not even sure what to get I suggest going to Greentail Table as you will delight in all its offerings and surely be able to find something for whatever the occasion and don't be surprised if you also find something for yourself. read more

Cute store but terrible customer service. Linda misunderstood a request I made, and it resulted in me having to come back to the store to pick up the item. Since she thought what I wanted was out of stick, it would have been nice for her to offer free shipping to have it sent to me, especially since I have a 5 week old newborn at home, but she didn't. It's a good thing she didn't offer, actually, since when I went back, I discovered what I wanted had been in stock the whole time. She apologized for the mix-up, although no offer of a slight discount for the trouble was offered. This is all fine, but what really upset me was a follow-up email she sent a few minutes after I left. It didn't apologize but instead basically explained that she was right and I'd been wrong. Basic practice of retail is that the customer is always right, Linda, and she never clarified what I'd asked for, making an assumption. Maybe if what you think they want isn't in stock, it might be good to double check or offer an alternative that might be what she wants instead. I won't be back. UPDATE: Linda offered me 25% off to make up for the inconvenience. Much appreciated. read more

Stepping into Greentail Table is like visiting a well curated exhibit at MOMA. Linda's taste is exquisite and her knack for being au currant but with items that will always be in style. Be warned- hard to leave this shop without buying!!! and you won't regret it.... read more

See all

Put this store on your radar! This is a small exquisite shop, the kind you think doesn't exist anymore. It is certainly a place to buy unique hostess or wedding gifts but much more!The owner, Linda, has a great eye and has selected items that will make your home more special. There are many reasonably priced items and her stock evolves with each new season keeping the look fresh and giving you ideas for your own life. I never leave without picking up some of her special cocktail napkins. read more

This place has some awesome stuff and everyone is very pleasant. I didn't really look hard at the prices but they didn't seem bad. Everything was a little unique and I found it hard to leave without buying something or calling friends and family to see if they had any small gifts that they needed for friends. They had some unique stuff and everything was colorful and fun. It made me want to have a party just so I had something to buy entertaining stuff for. The brands were varied and the store has a fun vibe. I think it will be a place where everything changes in and out quickly and the spot is tucked into the old Italian neighborhood of Nonantum so it doesn't stick out... I hope they market a bit more or get a bigger, flashier sign, otherwise I fear people will miss out on going here, but i recommend you go! I hope it makes it in our neighborhood... i want more places like this to come in! :) read more

My mom and I went yesterday (the Wednesday before Thanksgiving) to get a birthday gift. They had just closed but very generously re-opened for us. The selection in the store was great but not overwhelming. We found a beautiful gift and card. All in all it was a great experience and we will be going back! read more

A beautifully-curated selection of tableware, candles, and gifts. I love browsing, and can always find a unique and special gift, or something to spruce up my own home. I loved chatting with Marilyn, an employee who helped me pick out a gift for a friend. Such a lovely addition to the neighborhood! read more

This is a wonderful store with many gifts and things I really, really, really want to buy for myself. As other reviewers said, items are a little different, just enough to be fresh. I have visited three times and always walked out with something useful, cool or lovely. read more

This is a store that would not be out of place in Brooklyn, Portland or any other chic shopping mecca you would care to name. Beautiful ceramics, glasses and linens, plus fun extras like party favors, cookbooks and small food items. Everything is artfully arranged in a bright and cheerful space. Sophisticated but friendly vibe. I plan to do a lot of holiday shopping here! A wonderful addition to the neighborhood! read more

What a find! Great store for unique gifts if you can keep from buying for yourself. I have already accomplished much of my holiday shopping thanks to Linda's blend of food items, linens, ceramics, and funky recipe booklets with CDs. I look forward to taking some of the classes that are offered. read more

I have tried to go twice. Both times it was closed, although the website said it would be open. First time was on a Monday (website says it's open Monday-Saturday), but sign on door said it's open Tuesday-Saturday. The hours on the website should be accurate! Next time I tried was a Tuesday; I checked the website before heading there. It was closed again. I can understand being closed for vacation, but why wouldn't you put that on the website? I give up! read more

Top notch offerings at this great tabletop and home entertainment boutique. The selections are colorful and well designed quality items, great for gifting or getting that little extra for your table. I will keep them in mind for my interior design projects. Check them out in time for the holidays! read more

Great store! Easy to miss - but right near Tommy Doyle's on Watertown. Neat stuff to shop - found a great salad cookbook and a nice gift for a friend that collects salt/pepper shakers. The owner was very nice and helpful. read more
