I've seen the Purple Cow advertised time and time again in local theatre programs, but never had…read morethe chance to visit until a few days ago. Boy, am I glad I took the time to check them out! 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!

A lobster roll was very good, not the best but it hit the spot. Next up was the Swordfish straight up with a side of asian slaw. The swordfish was spectacular.

My family (daughters, SILs, and four grandkids) returned for the SECOND year to get Narragansett swag and souvenirs. The shop has an amazing selection of quality beach inspired jewelry, the latest trends in sweatshirts and tee shirts (including long sleeve), and hats. The prices are not high for the quality offered. Also available are home items such as mugs, wall art, table top decor and local named signs. They also carry beach towels, sunscreen, boogie boards, sand toys. The family carefully selected jewelry, hooded sweatshirts, sweat pants, and t-shirts. We had fun, and it was Grandma's treat! The friendly owner and two knowledgeable young staff were very helpful and made shopping easy by locating sizes and styles. There is a dressing room available. One negative is the small amount of children's clothing available. I had to go to the "Special T Shop" which is part of the Narragansett Pier Shops for toddler and young child size clothing for my three and one year old grands. (See review)

Nico Scout is one of my favorite stores in the entire universe. A visit to the store is like the…read morebest treat ever. 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.
