Much more than any other HomeGoods I've ever been to. They even have a second floor where they house the bathroom decor, blankets, & vanities. Their first floor had a large selection of lamps, house decorations, kitchen gadgets + machines such as SMEG coffee machine + Cuisinart products, as well as outdoor patio furniture sets! Honestly will be back very, very soon! They have literally everything and more, I love it! We found a nice rotating charcuterie board here and I have already made great use out of it earlier haha. Highly recommend! Parking: free parking lot

Specifically we were looking for charcuterie board and found the perfect one that spins! Using it to make our own for snacks while watching a show! Pricing is affordable and they have so many items here that you didn't think you'd ever need haha. So we spent some time checking things out, never know what idea pops up next. Has good parking right outside, located next to TJX down street and sierra which all seemingly correlate to one another. Service was find quick and easy checkout. Got what we needed. Store was clean, mostly organized and shelves filled to the brim with deals and clearance items as well.

A Truly Extraordinary Boutique & An Even More Extraordinary Owner…read more I've been shopping at Karma for more than 15 years, and in all that time I've never encountered another boutique--or another human--quite like Phuni, the remarkable woman who owns and runs it. She is kind, inspirational, incredibly talented, and has an eye for style that feels almost magical. When I first wandered into Karma all those years ago, I remember thinking the clothes felt a bit expensive for me. What I quickly learned is that the quality is far beyond anything you find elsewhere. Every piece I've purchased has become something I wear joyfully for years. They hold up beautifully, they feel amazing, and I'm constantly stopped by people asking where I got them. Truly, each item ends up paying for itself in longevity and happiness. One of the best parts of shopping here is that Phuni knows me--my style, my size, what flatters me, and what will make me feel wonderful. She regularly brings me pieces I never would have even glanced at, and they end up being the exact things I fall in love with. Last year she suggested a jacket I never would've tried; I wore it - with a fabulous scarf and woven tote bag I also got at Karma, in NYC, snapped a rare selfie because it looked so good, and a woman on the subway stopped to tell me I looked adorable! Phuni also dressed me completely for the night before my daughter's wedding, and the outfit was so special. I continue to wear each piece with joy. In fact, I've asked my husband to skip the flowers for Mother's Day and my birthday-- instead I spend it at Karma. Shopping with Phuni is such a gift in itself. It's not just the clothing, either. I've found beautiful jewelry, scarves, bags, and truly meaningful gifts here. And what makes it even better is that Phuni sources everything she can ethically, sustainably, and through Fair Trade, supporting many women‑owned businesses, including artisans overcoming tremendous challenges such as sex trafficking. Her values are woven into every item she brings into the shop, and you can feel that integrity the moment you walk in. If you read her story (and you absolutely should), you'll understand why this place feels special from the inside out: https://www.cometokarma.com/about. Karma is one of my all‑time favorite places to shop, not just for the clothes but for the warmth, spirit, and generosity of the extraordinary woman behind it. If you're thinking of visiting, don't hesitate. You might walk in for clothes, but you'll walk out feeling seen, uplifted, and beautiful. Highly, highly recommended.

Not all that inviting, but in conclusion, China Fair is an absolute GEM!…read moreI have driven past this place tons and tons of times and even though Newton has it's own look about it, this place doesn't fit in (when I think of Newton, the atmosphere doesn't even seem somewhat like the rusty old conditions of China Fair, which seems more sensibly located in an old alley in the worst section of Boston). And for a while, I actually thought it was closed. You really can't tell it's open.... and anyone who has the courage to go into the little "shack" on the opposite side of the building, called the "Paper Annex", with a small paper sign on the door, HAS to have some bravery. Even though it looks closed, drive up behind the building (even though it looks like a one way road... I can guarantee you, it isn't), and park your car, if you are looking for the best prices throughout the large city of Newton on any storage containers, timers, baskets, mason jars, wine glasses, kitchen utensils, mugs, plates / bowls, small appliances, decor for home, towels, and all sorts of other stuff. They even sell banana holders (too bad, I hate bananas). Anyway, the woman working was friendly, and the prices throughout the store were well lower than any of the nearby competition. Remember, think Newton here. Bloomingdale's, Crate & Barrel, and HomeGoods are the three only other places I can think of with this kind of stuff, and while HomeGoods, specifically, has good prices, but still nothing like this! I have to take off a star for the poor design of the parking lot and driveway of this place, as well as the building that is in major need of an overhaul, but I still highly suggest it. 4 stars for China Fair.
