5 Stars for a fabulous little gift shop with everything you could possibly need for gifts for the whole fam! We were looking for a very specific gift to send someone back home- a red lobster stuffed animal. As we walked past this shop we saw exactly what we were looking for right on the window display! I had my little dog with me and they welcomed us in- the gal at the register even gave my pup a treat! I could've spent hours shopping for the whole family, from jewelry, to games and puzzles, to art prints and home decor- There was so much to choose from! I'll definitely be back for more and am so thankful for the friendly staff! read more

What a beautiful shop! The owner was super sweet and loved the variety of items they carry. I got a few art prints to frame, love supporting local artists. This is a great spot to grab a gift or a bit of home decor.They have a great selection of puzzles and other gifty items like that. I will definitely be heading back in! read more

Super cute little shop that helps put Hope Street in that category where one can spend a few hours exploring and enjoying! Rhode Craft is a shop similar to Frog & Toad with local artisans represented but not as comical. Straightforward items from jewelry to home goods to stickers. A few items a little high priced and some reasonable. They had a clearance table, which I love! Again, a great addition to Hope! (I bought a little ring holder dish, black heart shape $3 on clearance) read more

I was visiting Rhode Island, mainly Brown University, and could not find any souvenir shops nearby! Rhody Craft was not my first location to look for a souvenir, heck, it did not even pop up on Google or Yelp for recommended souvenir shops, which was completely disappointing because this place offers a lot of cool items. We were headed towards Frog & Toad and I suddenly saw this place on the way. We visited Frog & Toad first but it did not have the things I wanted (mainly souvenirs for tourists that references "Rhode Island" on their products). Rhody Craft had many of those! From pins, mugs, shirts, magnets, and etc., Rhody Craft is that rare souvenir shop for tourists. It is a small, lovely shop that offers a variety of touristy collectibles as well as unique, handcrafted items. read more

I want to love this shop. The owner seems pleasant and knowledgeable about her products. The items in the store are from the New England area and are reasonably priced, they also don't seem like silly knickknacks. The atmoshere and shop is clean and homey. I also greatly appreciate the bike rack in front! Upon visiting recently, there was a window sign (see picture). As someone whose family bikes and walks, this made us feel unwelcome. Are a few parking spaces worth more than our lives and the community? We drive to Hope despite living nearby because it's dangerous... it's not "fine and dandy." Until we feel welcome, this shop will remain a plan C if we can't find what we want at other shops like Frog & Toad or nearby shops that welcome us. We'd definitely visit more if it was more accessible. read more

Rhody Craft - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Needed to get a gift for a friend. They have a little of everything: shirts, tote bags, home decor, wall art, soaps, little knick knacks. They have a mix of Rhody-inspired items, or items made by local artisans without reference to our lovely state. Prices can be a little high, but there's a wide range of things you can choose from. The owner gift wrapped my item at no extra charge = SO CUTE and lovely. read more

Such a cute store and wide variety selections! I enjoyed looking around and ended up finding a lot of great gifts! The lady was so nice and helpful! Price range was wide. You can find goods from very reasonable ones to nice gifts! The store is very clean and bright! read more

What an awesome Local shop on just the cutest street ever! Rhody Craft's new spot on Hope Street is the perfect addition (is it considered an addition to the street if it basically moved across the street?) Well, regardless this place is amazing. The perfect place to grab the perfect gift for that someone special. Looking for a nautical scarf for Aunt Julie? A quirky RI themed T-shirt? Silly socks on your list? Well, Rhody Craft has it all! From greeting cards, to clothing, to jewelry and framed art, you can find what you are looking for at Rhody Craft! read more

Really cute selection of items! Lots of great pins and handcrafted costume jewelry. Staff was a little stand-off ish but very friendly once I approached the counter and paid for my purchases. Great place for gifts and souvenirs. There is no sales tax on anything hand crafted! read more

Have only shopped on line here and it has been fantastic! Found some great gift items as well as some nice clothing accessories for myself. Great variety of products, very affordable and great service. Also, being from New England myself, I love shopping local and supporting other small businesses. Highly recommend Rhody Craft!! read more

I have shopped at Rhody Craft now for over five years, and I continue to be impressed with the fantastic merchandise as well as the wonderful merchandising. Moreover, Kim and her staff create a lovely, inviting, warm, and ever-helpful atmosphere. Furthermore, Kim is a superb buyer/curator of unique merchandise. I'm a staunch advocate of buying from local businesses, and Rhody Craft is one of my favorite shops in Rhode Island, and I have sampled at least one hundred shops from Providence to Westerly. I'm thankful to Kim and her entire staff for making shopping at Rhody Craft such a charming and personable experience. I have recommend this shop to innumerable folks whom I know, including the plethora of artists and artist-based businesses that are a part of my overall life network. Thank you, Kim, and Staff!

I just love this store! Between the selection of fun unique items and friendly staff, I enjoy every visit. Each time I go I find just the right gift. Great complimentary wrapping too, can't beat it! read more

I have adored this store since it opened in its first location. I'm sad because Liz Rodriguez' pottery isn't here any more, but Sepialupus is lovely and well worth the trip. read more

Another crafty gem of Providence (and this one's shiny new new). Was up on Hope for a hair appointment and happened by Rhody Craft's $5 table - matching glittering rad earrings and hairpins - whaaaatt! Peering in the window I could see wee crafty baby booties, letterpressed greeting cards, and dangling jewelry. .....I had no choice but to enter the premises. Inside of RC I found trinkets and bobbles, the kinds of things that come together to create songs like "A Few of my Favorite Things". Candles and soaps and nappies and booties, pressed ink and satin flowers and bracelets and stained glass, neat little gift boxes tied up in string. Fab.Bu.Lous. If you're a fan of Craftland or Queen of Hearts, then this is a PRIME spot for you (and this time with loads of street parking and a lot less traffic). It's stores like Rhody Craft that define what it is to "be Providence". read more

Can Hope St sustain another small gift shop, you ask... you bet it can! Especially one as unique as Rhody Craft. Rhody Craft could be the physical storefront for all the coolest RI based Etsy artists. (And I am not referring to the "homemade" Etsy stuff.. this is the real deal.) It has tons of really unusual handmade jewelry, accessories, art, and my fav.. science geek/ nerdy couture. Each time I walk down Hope st, I get drawn in just to find another "must have" item. The best thing... I can always leave with a clear conscious... everything is reasonably priced AND I am supporting local artists! Win win for me! read more

Doing some christmas shopping and keeping it local! This shoppe is an AWESOME find...super fun, inventive gifts, staff are fabulous and did I mention the gift wrapping!!?? Winner, winner! you won't be disappointed! read more

Rhody Craft - Lovely gift wrapped Christmas presents! - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Cute, cute, cute! I love that this shop has opened op on the East Side right on Hope Street. It's such a welcomed, fun addition to this neighborhood! Everything in the shop is created, made and crafted by a local RI artisan, and ranges from stationery to jewelry to tees to artwork. If you're a stationery fiend like me, you'l go nuts in this store and tear your hairs out trying to decide between options -- they're that good! The store itself is sunny, bright and colorful -- truly a joy to shop in. Parking is on-street, so do yourself a favor and build a trip to Rhody Craft into a stroll along Hope Street, where business is booming and the cute shops keep popping up. read more

Great selection of handmade gifts, jewelry, and other cute things! Easy parking in the neighborhood and friendly service !

After Small Circle on Wickendon closed, I went into a period of mourning. However, I'm super excited that Rhody Craft has moved to Hope Street! This store will definitely be my new go-to for gifts. The store is small but has a decent variety of items. I hope that stock and artisans rotate over time. The store features apparel, housewares, and jewelry. Prices are more expensive than they were at Small Circle, but I would much rather pay more and support local artisans and storeowners than go to a big box store. read more

Love this store. Was a great place for holiday presents and even found some cool stuff that I just had to have for myself. The quality of their crafts is really good and they definitely have a sense of humor! Stop in and enjoy -- everything is made here in Rhode Island and it's a great way to Shop Local. read more

Bought my husband one of the stained glass ballsacks they have hanging in the window for his birthday. He loved it!!! read more

This is a very cool store. I love the local products they offer

My Mom and Dad (who are stuck at home alone in California) absolutely LOVED their bird themed Happy Box! It made the whole day special. Wrapping each individual item in bright papers made it even more fun. I highly recommend the Happy Box service to anyone wanting to brighten someone's lockdown. read more

Well what can I say all I heard about in this place was how our president is a joke and she was sick to her stomach when he won last year. I think talking to customers out loud in front of others about politics like you were was wrong. My wife and I went to other shops on the road and they were very nice and had customers in there shops so we spent our money at those establishments. You really need to change your the way you speak out loud in front of customers or you will fail after time. read more

Nice selection of gifts for self and others. I have found some of the prices a bit high, but there are plenty of items that are reasonable. They moved from their small space on Hope Street to a bigger space across the street. The new space certainly allows for more comfortable browsing. read more

I visited family in the neighborhood this summer and am still smiling every time I pick up something that I purchased at Rhody Craft. I bought a number of gifts and ended up keeping a few of them for myself ;-) The prices were really reasonable and I appreciate the opportunity to support local artist and locally owned establishments. The staff/proprietors were delightfully kind and warm which added to my experience exponentially! read more

Great little local shopping spot! Perfect for gifts for all ages and tastes. There are a lot of hidden treasures if you take your time to really browse the selection! Staff are friendly and engaging. read more

I love the unique local finds here. Perfect to bring to relatives when visiting for the holidays or a place to pick up a fun gift for a party host. It's hard not to snag the jewelry for myself-I love the cool array of vintage and artsy styles. Pro-tip: like their facebook page for timely gift ideas. The mother's day post was a life-saver!

I ordered the Happy Bird Box for my Sister-in-law's birthday and she was so thrilled with it. I had reached out because I saw an error with my billing address and the response was prompt, sincere and helpful. It was corrected and the gift was shipped the same day! In times of uncertainty, supporting local businesses like Rhody Craft is important to me and I am so happy with the service. She seems to have more great stuff available too! I'll be shopping again, for sure. read more

Great Shop, best selection of handmade! Love Love this store! Lots of RI themed gifts.

Though I have never stepped foot in this shop--yet--I can say Rhody Craft has the best products and service based on a recent online order. Kim, whom I believe is the owner of Rhody Craft, was simply wonderful!! I saw a beautiful mug with a picture of the state [of Rhode Island] containing a heart in the middle as featured in a Rhode Island-based Instagram account, and I knew I had to have it. I tapped the link for the shop it was available and discovered all that Rhody Craft has to offer. This shop has so many wonderful items, from jewelry to t-shirts, mugs to fun prints. While there is a good variety of items for sale online, there is likely more [products/selection/variety] in the store. A few clicks here then there, and I ordered that featured mug. I received it within days of ordering (and I ordered on a holiday weekend, too). It was gorgeously wrapped, with colorful ribbons springing everywhere and a shop sticker on top of the box, a flyer for the shop (showing the great selection of items) tucked in with the box. However, I heard clinking when I picked up the box and found the mug had broken into three pieces in shipping. I e-mailed Kim right away and, promptly, she responded by stating another mug would be in the mail that day. She was extremely kind and so helpful, and, after receiving a mug in one piece, she was very, very efficient!! I very much appreciate her excellent customer service. Also appreciated and loved, the mug itself is so well-made and sturdy (I have no idea how the order cracked), with a unique and sleek design and lovely picture design on it. Rhody Craft proves to represent Rhode Island well with its products and outstanding customer service. Without a doubt, the next time I visit Providence, my first stop will be Rhody Craft. Kim made such a positive impression on me, so I intend to keep supporting this fantastic small (and state-proud) business!! read more

One stop shopping for stocking stuffers and super helpful staff. Thx Rhody Craft!

This little store is a treasure in Hope Village/Summit. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the goods inside all have great stories. I got a wonderful selection of RI themed Christmas ornaments there around the holidays, and the card selection is also great. From t-shirts to baby gifts and coasters, the merchandise is whimsical and best of all, supports local folks. Next time you are thinking of getting someone a gift, check out Rhody Craft. read more

Rhody Craft is an awesome store on Hope St. featuring clothing, hand crafted jewelry and pottery, geeky gifts, and artwork. The store features all of these things and more from various local artists. I love my locally made dog bowl that I purchased when I adopted my dog earlier this year and my friend was very happy with the hand made bib and newborn hat I bought for her baby shower. I love their Dr. Who and Sherlock necklaces and wall art, for the geek in me. The staff who work here are very friendly and they offer free gift wrapping. Great addition to the shopping scene on Hope St. read more

This is a cute local shop with a good variety of items to choose from. The merchandise isn't 100% my cup of tea but I always enjoy browsing and I really like their new space. I can usually find something to leave with even though I know deep down I don't need it. I like that they always have some candle options. The owner has always been friendly to me, and I'm pretty sure she is always there, too. You can tell she takes a lot of pride in her business. read more

This great store showcases an array of talented Rhode Island artists! You're sure to find a perfect gift!

I absolutely love this shop! I like supporting local artists, and this store has practical items made or designed by local artists. I'm a big fan of Fish Cakes (a fun local art line), and they have a huge stock. This is my go-to shop for gifts. read more
