I highly recommend a reading there and pick up a few items like this "hand chain." #&DrRuss

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.

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.

I also LOVE French apple pie... my mom gets banana nut bread and it's good but not my scent... if you like fresh laundry, clean sheets hits the notes, but too much for me (I know, with the balsam and cedar all year long who am I to say)?! Great local business, really LOVED the previous owners (I believe they sold all the recipes-so all is still great).

Because the shop is on the small side and it absolutely filled with goodies, the service is impecable. A warm greeting, a helpful eye, a friendly chat. There's also a section in the back that has children's clothing and other items, and what looked like a sewing station for personalization of any number of items or even tailoring. This will become one of my go-to spots for picking up a lovely gift for a friend or even for myself! Only thing is, no parking means circling Wayland Square or paying for one of the nearby lots.

You can never go wrong with a candle. But be warned that you can go wrong with the wrong candle! When you walk into the mall, you'll already get a sense (scent?) of how great wonderful smells can be. Like the abercrombie store of candles, you'll get blasted by fragrance 50 feet away. If you're super sensitive to smell maybe it's not the place for you. Keep in mind they constantly have buy one get one free sales which makes the candles much more affordable. Otherwise it can take a hefty chunk out of your credit card! Two of my favorites are the lavender with lemon (I think... ) and the one the green candle with melon scent. Both unassuming but makes themselves known scents! (don't buy all their candle wick cutting crap... waste of money).

Without the sales, this place can be a bit pricey for what it is hence the 4- and not 5- star review. The staff at this location (hired just for the holiday season or not) were extremely helpful and sociable during the visit. They touched base with my friend and I about our and their favorite candles, offered suggestions on how to properly detect the scent of certain candles (hint: smell the cover/cap to the candle, not the wax itself... apparently it is a truer representation of what the candle will smell like when it is burning), and were genuinely excited when final decisions were made about which scents to buy. There is a gigantic selection of candles to choose from at this location and a variety of sizes and types available. Jar candles, tumblers, tarts, single and triple wick candles with different burn times, air fresheners, warmers, the list goes on and on. If a candle is on your gift list (or personal gift list!) you are sure to find something here that will fit your needs. Browse the internet before visiting and you can usually find a coupon or two to use with your purchase. My favorite candle this time of year used to be the Christmas Cookie variety but they came out with a new Snowflake Cookie is a sweeter version of this and came out on top this year with my purchases. Conveniently located on the first floor of the Providence Place Mall.
