A one stop shop! Great variety of so many different things. There are lots of trinkets for gifts. There is also a great selection of beer, wines, chocolates, and cheeses.

Buckalew's is my go-to spot for special gifts, whether it is for a holiday or a birthday. Their seasonal selection of items is hand-picked by the owner, Robin, and she is always helpful in finding the perfect items for the occasion or the person in mind. She takes time to show you items that she is excited about and always is warm and thoughtful when doing so. She is a cornerstone of the Melrose community. Her selection of fine kitchen delicacies, craft beer, cider, and wine, and chocolates and treats is amazing! Take time to pick out some chocolates from the case, as they are all delicious. Whether to treat yourself, or shopping for someone special, Buckalew's will offer the best selection of whatever you are looking for!

If you're looking for something to gift a hostess, this is the perfect store! I got a jar of honey and they were so nice to tie ribbon on it and remove the price tag. Great place to shop for gifts!

This store is a home away from home. All of the owners are so accommodating. The triple berry biscuits are made fresh on the weekends and are SO good. They also just customized a craft beer Advent calendar for us, and we cannot wait to see what's in store. Highly recommend, you will keep going back!

You absolutely can't find this kind of quality customer service everywhere. They do an incredible job with stocking their store with an eclectic verity of fabulous gifts and their chocolates are outstanding. I'm also so impressed with how they remember your name even if it's been a month since your last visit. I'll be doing the majority of my Christmas shopping with them because their genuine care for customer satisfaction brings me back to my parents family bakery in Everett, MA, where we new our customers and catered to their needs. Their customer service should be the industry standard.

Recently discovered this local gem and can’t wait to go back. They have a great selection of yummy and unique snacks, baked goods, fun kitchenwares, local honey, craft beer, wine, and delicious cheeses. Great place to shop for gifts for the foodie on your list!

Found this shop by accident, walked out with $50 worth of stuff! Great little combo gift shop, candy store, cheese shop, gourmet foods, wine shop and prepared foods and desserts. They do wine/alcohol tastings every week from small and local brands. A range of prices, brands, and everything labeled for allergies, gluten free, nut free, local/women owned, etc. Definitely plan to come back!

Tried the seasonal pumpkin donuts, they’re amazing! Soft, fluffy, and just the right amount of pumpkin flavor. Super fresh, and the staff is really friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back for more!
