So fun! I want all the clocks!…read more Ranging from kitschy camp to craft couture, the goods gifted at Gifted will fit the bill for everyone on your list: the Boston faithful, giddy grandmas, eccentric millionaires, and (as evidenced by my most recent visit) wee little bebes. Fisher Price and Tonka have their place, just not here - Gifted's inventory skews towards the educational, the tactile, and the local (especially when sourcing handmade stuff). Asked a question, "What do two year old girls like?" Realized a little more preface would have been ideal, but I'm in a gift store, so no misinterpretations allowed. Answers came swiftly, and we walked with the coolest gifts Harper B and Elizabeth G will ever get. EVER! Be sure to scout what's downstairs. And if you're super lucky, you might just get a warm welcome from Bo, the lovable shop dog. Hooray!

Also, I'm not writing this review for you, so pipe down. And I'm only kind of writing this review for my wife, who ACTUALLY looks good in these dresses. I'm writing this review for me. Selfish as it may seem, I don't care if this shop has the sweetest staff that always helps their customers find whatever it is they are looking for, and makes smart suggestions about other items that might be of interest. I do care a little bit that for some reason, they always happen to stock at least a couple dresses that make my wife look absolutely stunning.* But I really, truly care about not having to wander up and down Newbury Street in the rain, searching for this boutique that we come back to every time we're in Boston.

I had gone into the store once awhile back and was being shown dresses by a nice informative helpful salesperson when another salesperson in the store (who I now believe must be the owner or manager at least) , treated me rudely, so I left the store. That was a good while back , and I had not been back in this store since. So I just very recently decided to again give this shop another try. I went into the store and again a nice helpful salesperson assisted me and I became quite interested in one dress she showed me, and as I was viewing this dress and was looking at the colors in it thinking about what shoes, purse, jewelry etc I would put with this dress and was just about to go try the dress on, the same individual who was so rude the first time I went into this store, again came out of nowhere , and became rude again. I was startled and said I would think about the dress and left the store because this had already happened to me once before in this very same store. Don't even waste your time going here.
