It turned out to be much…read morechillier in the morning than I anticipated, so I decided a souvenir long-sleeve shirt would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe. We happened to park near Frazzleberries, which I'd consider a more upscale souvenir shop. They have lots of high-quality goods -- gifts, magnets, clothing, etc. I was looking at a different shirt when a friend pointed out one that was SUPER soft. I tried it on and was immediately sold. The fit, the material, all great, and at a reasonable price. I want to say $35? I also bought a very nice Newport magnet at the checkout counter. A very successful visit!

This is a fantastic little local business that redefines the concept of "shopping small" by offering a wide array of locally made products - everything from handmade clothing to soaps and creams. The next time you have a present to buy for someone, the Purple Cow should be the first stop you make. Speaking of presents, they even have a section of birthday and special occasion cards, which makes it an easy one stop shop for all your gifting needs. While a lot of the inventory tends to lean toward the yogi-earthy-crunchy set, they have a great section of toys and stuffed animals for the young and young at heart, plus a whole lot of classy jewelry that's also made by local artisans. The Purple Cow is a must visit if you find yourself in Wakefield, RI, and need to purchase a memorable gift for a loved one, or simply just want to browse around a truly wonderful small local business!

Prices are on the high side so plan accordingly but I feel the quality and uniqueness is worth it. If you see something, regret not getting it, you can either go back or order it to be shipped right to you. While I throughly enjoy a niche market, products and support the message of this shop, it definitely has very strong messaging that some might not like. However, that's what I love about Newport! No one is afraid to stand on their beliefs and open a store with those beliefs front and center. I am definitely going to enjoy this establishment again! Especially on a nice warm summer day. I cannot wait to buy a few more things. Only draw back is the store is small and if you have any type of mobility device like a scooter or wheelchair, you are not going to be able to maneuver around the store and handicapped parking is at quite a distance. I ambulate with a cane so it was easier for me but I did have a hike to get there.

I was long overdue for a treat, so I paid Amber a visit this past weekend & my heart grew three sizes that day. I heart Amber, her energy, her taste, her philosophies, her creativity, & her genuine, infectious laugh. Every bit of Nico Scout reflects Amber & every bit of Amber is reflected in Nico Scout. What a selection of products! When I don't know what to get someone as a gift, I go to Nico Scout. Amber has done the hard work of thinking & collecting & curating, so that I can just show up & get inspired. I always find something for someone, & it's usually something I never knew existed. Last year I found an incredible book in the store about Black American musicians & the conception of jazz. I didn't know this book existed & didn't know I needed it until I saw it. It came home with me, of course, & was a perfect gift for a good friend of mine. Books, clothes, knick knacks, art, pottery, plants, homewares, etc. There is so much goodness here, running the entire gamut of price. There's something for every person & every budget here. I am so glad this little paradise exists & I can't wait to see what Amber has in store for 2025 - I hear that workshops might be on the horizon? Sign me up, please.
