    We had a ton of nice comments about our wedding invitations. They really stood out and set the tone for the whole day.

    All craft roads lead to Playtime--an unassuming yet remarkable arts and crafts supply store in…read moreArlington Center. As a gifter, I don't fully understand how I didn't know about this place before, but I'm so glad I do now. I went for a family project recently when closer craft shops didn't have what we needed. There's an abundance of arts and crafts supplies here, housed in two interconnected basement rooms, along with an impressive paper and picture frame selection (among other items) on the first floor. The atmosphere is one of a kind--more like an arts-and-crafts boutique curated by the owner, with items you won't easily find together elsewhere. Because of the sheer breadth, some categories (like fabrics, for example) have a smaller variety, which is just an observation, not a critique. Ribbons are unrivaled. If you don't have time to wander, ask--the best part of our experience was the owner, Carol, and the staff (thank you, Lilly). They are wonderfully kind, patient, and creative, offering thoughtful, gentle advice for your projects and genuinely care about their customers. Tip: There's a parking lot in the back or bus 87 drops you off right in front, literally. Highly recommended local business.

    How in the WORLD have I lived in Boston, Brookline, and Cambridge for decades and not known about…read morethis place. A friend recommended coming here w/ my mom to look for yarn for her knitting projects and my friend prefaced that this place was the BEST for any type of arts, crafts, decor, etc. Well, WOW!! And funny enough, my mom used to go to this store when she was a little girl in the late 50s-60s to get Nancy Drew books. She said it was EXACTLY how she remembered as a kid. I was awe struck by everything this store had. I will definitely be making this place a regular stop for gifts for people and for fun. Forget going to places like Michaels. Come to this local, family-owned business which I guarantee will have whatever you are looking for. It's an incredible place.

    I had a very uncomfortable experience with this vendor at the Boston Pen Show…read more As I was about to leave, the vendor called me over and asked if I wanted to make/customize a pen. I understood this as an invitation to try a DIY pen activity. He then guided me through choosing different parts, including the nib, and assembled the pen with me. At no point before or during this process was it clearly explained to me that participating meant I was committing to purchase the finished pen, or that it would cost over $50. Only after the pen was completed did he tell me to go pay for it. I told him that I had not realized I was expected to buy it. He then explained that the idea was that you "DIY your own pen and then buy it." He later told me that the price was written on the top of the parts box, but when he opened the box and showed me the components, that information was not something I could reasonably see or notice. I found this sales approach very misleading and uncomfortable. A customer should be clearly told before starting the activity that completing the pen constitutes a purchase and how much it will cost. I would not have participated if that had been made clear beforehand. I'm sharing this so other customers know to ask explicitly about the price and whether participation requires a purchase before agreeing to make anything. I ultimately paid for the pen because, by that point, it had already been assembled specifically for me and I felt put in a position where it was very difficult to refuse.

They also have so many pen options with a table where you can test them out. There are many gift options too. They are located in Union Square where there are many other stores and restaurants. I recommend checking it out.

    A visit to Tiny Turns just made the start of my year so much better. It's been a while since I've…read morevisited, so it was a delight to see the larger store on the street side of Bow Market, which they moved to in 2023. I didn't have time to explore the whole store (my little creature didn't have enough patience for shopping), but I will definitely have to come back. They've got so much good stationary to satisfy serious aficionados (fountain pens, Japanese and French brands, letterpressed cards, etc.), as well as a mountain of cute gift items that I could equally get lost in. But my agenda today was a paper planner, and thankfully their planners and calendars are still 20% off. Even though it's near the end of the "season," they still had a good selection from the class Leuchteum notebooks/planners to some brands I wasn't familiar with. I ended up picking up a Sooofa planner and a Hobonichi notebook (yes they have notebooks now, not just their planners!), plus some cute unique cards and stickers. (This was me being restrained.) The prices are more than you'd pay at larger chains like Paper Source, but the curation and focus on small brands and quality make it very worthwhile. I had a nice chat with the owner during check out and plan to be back very soon. It's totally worth pairing a stationary trip with a visit to Remnant Brewing for coffee or beer, or brunch/lunch at one of the many good restaurants in the area.
