Craftland

I have always found the most unique, inventive gifts at Craftland made by local artists and well-​established crafters alike. The shop is *so much fun* to browse, and has everything from jewelry to kids stuff, paper goods and original art. Definitely stop by on your next stroll downcity and prepare to find and buy perfect gifts for even the most difficult to shop for! Really great Rhode Island souvenirs, too!

It’s a fun place, but I can’t really see myself buying anything from here simply because everything is too expensive. Beautiful letter-​size calendar? It would be the perfect gift for $ 20 or even $ 25 if I’m feeling generous, but $ 30 is just too high for what is, in the end, paper goods. I thought there might be some hidden deals somewhere in the store, but the same sticker shock happened with all their other merchandise (rings, t-​shirts, jewelry, prints, cards, etc.).
I guess it just felt weird to be charged luxury prices in such a fun, kooky environment. Bye, Craftland, see you when I’m rich!

I love the new Craftland. The space is a bit smaller, but I like it better than the old space as it’s feels a bit more cohesive and manageable. There’s also a ton of natural sunlight, which is lovely — you can really see the gorgeous textures, colors and details in all the hand-​made goodies!
Quite honestly, Craftland is where I come for most of my gift-​buying — there’s usually something for everyone, from prints to tees to jewelry, and all of it is made by independent artisans, many of them from RI. My favorites are the tees — really soft, high-​quality tees with great graphics that make a perfect gift.
The prices range from very affordable to investment pieces — in particular the earthenware. Everything is so beautiful and beautifully made, too which makes shopping both a pleasure and difficult, since I often end up wanting one of almost everything!
Also, Craftland is my go-​to for stationery items — they have wonderfully quirky little cards, stationery sets and postcards that range from sweet to cheeky. Love it!

I LOVE Craftland! I have been wanting to visit for years and it was everything I expected. An extremely well curated collection of art and other awesome goodies! It definitely is a great place to get a gift, card, or present for anyone fun!
