Lucky Duck Toys has proved to be an awesome exception! Let's be clear, I'm still not done my holiday shopping for my nieces and nephews. That is on me and Lucky Duck Toys cannot help that one. What Lucky Duck Toys did help with were the toy portion of their gifts. Walking around the store gave me tons of great ideas and a few purchases. I'm not sure if it is just a holiday thing or year-round, but after purchase I was provided with free gift wrapping. And I mean legit wrapping with ribbon on top - that ain't happening on-line that is for sure. I'll certainly be back for more toys this time next year, if not sooner for birthdays!

Yes I know there is plenty online but I'm pretty old skool when it comes to toys, I like it better shopping in a brick and mortar stores. I found it amusing to touch the toy before buying them. After promised my little girl her toys, I went yelping. Didn't find anything nice until scrolling thru pages. Lucky Duck toys stands out the most, especially with the playhouse that was in store. The moment we enter Lucky Ducks, we were welcome warmly, the ladies at the cashier were super friendly. My daughter couldn't decide what she wants so we were at each aisle over and over again lol. You know the best part? Bet every parent experience this. The ladies that worked there, didn't have any annoying look or smirks or anything like that. I would definitely go back there. P.s. No private parking, there are meter street parking. The in store playhouse is closed bc of the pandemic.

You can find a gift for basically any occasion in this shop, including engagements, wedding, birthdays, housewarming, baby showers.

This is a great place to get gifts (for others or to treat yourself) and the staff has always been very nice when I have gone in.

I especially appreciated the owner's effort to provide environmentally friendly, sustainable products. The store's central concept is related to candles, and it offers really artistic options in that area, but also features a wealth of other eclectic items, from feminine pajamas to jewelry to other miscellaneous home decor. Half of the fun is just exploring the diverse array of objects, arranged in an inviting way, with a chillaxed, California-lite vibe. I discovered this shop on my first visit to Chestnut Hill, and I have to say after walking the entire length of the downtown area, it was my favorite.

Unlike other boutiques, Linda's carries lines that you will not see everywhere (and definitely not at major department stores). While the clothes have attitude (or at least a point of view), the sales associates do not. They have been gracious and helpful every time I stop in. If you want assistance or a candid opinion, they will provide it; if you just want to browse, they will not hover. Linda's is an "old school" boutique in the best possible way.

Tons of cool signs, country home items... crochet (knitted ? don't know the difference) .. hand made items .. soaps (lego ones were my son's favorite).. candles... home decorations.. to name a few. There are few spaces out front on the street but best bet is to park in the lot across the street. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Very receptive to my son. Picked up a couple of really cool items. They have seasonal stuff so I will need to stop by often. I'll definitely be back and you should check it out.
