Marmalade

I really like this place. I go here a lot when I need a cute gift for a girlfriend. They have a great collection of items and I find something just about every time. The items all have a uniqueness to them. You can tell the owner puts a lot of effort into choosing what is available for purchase in the store. Very cute place that is worth a visit.

Love this place, even my kids love to go there. Great place to get candles, ornaments, housewarming gifts etc.

Owner is wonderful, creative and talented. Young staff member today did her a disservice. Most people come to Marmalade for gifts. My purchase was thrown in a bag with no offer of tissue or ribbon. Presentation is everything and I specifically came by because I wanted the small gift I was purchasing to look special. I had to ask for tissue then was quizzically asked «If I also wanted a ribbon?» Yes! Of course I want a ribbon. Staff should be as mature and sophisticated as product. Sorry to have to give three stars instead of five.

Having been a fan of Curly Girl stationary for YEARS, I’ve been meaning to check out Marmalade for a while. Popped in a couple months ago, and was not disappointed. Such cute stuff!
Stationary, accessories, and really cute home décor /​furnishings. Fantastic selection.

This is my go-​to shop for gifts. Plus the staff is so friendly and helpful. Love this place.

My first stop for cards and hostess gifts. I love Marmalade-​you can always find something fun and unexpected. Such a fun store, such a great card selection.

Belmont Center has done the town a disservice by bringing 8 bank storefronts into the small 1 block downtown, having me and others ask «why bother» to stop and shop — so I didn’t for 3 or 4 years — but I had discovered this store in their previous location and HAD TO follow it to Belmont Center. They are the only reason I stop in Belmont Center and the I now stop so regularly for this store that I am shopping in the Center more. They should give this young lady an award!
This store is: CLEVER, CUTE, REASONABLE — it has jewelry, cards, handbags, baby items, household items (decorative and useful). Jewelry is from $ 10 to hundreds and all of it cute and trendy. I now buy nearly all my gifts here and everyone loves the things I get there. I am almost exclusively purchasing my cards there, and they are great.
If you haven’t been to this store before, it is worth the trip or worth the time to stop. Give yourself AT LEAST a half hour to browse or you will be sorry! And everyone who works there knows the value of customer service and is so nice.
The Belmont Center Business Association owes this store a big thanks!

My wife was able to find gifts for several friends with a once stop shop. The downside is they do not take discover. The upside they put everything aside so My wife could have me bring a different card. the wrapping they did was fantastic and the staff was friendly.

I like to shop locally but will not continue to shop in this store. I bought 3 gifts last week and although the lady ringing up my order had offered to gift wrap the previous 2 customer’s purchases, she did not offer to do that for me. Further, she was more interested in hearing local gossip from another customer than helping me. Too expensive to support local shops when treated this way!

I’m glad I live nearby in case the power goes out for a long time and we can’t read or bathe ourselves. It will be Marmalade and their apocalypse-​proof inventory of soap and candles to the rescue.
It’s a really cute store and I enjoy browsing/​petting the dog as I cut through, but does the world really need thirteen kinds of $ 10 gardenia soap? They do have a small but well-​edited selection of costume jewelry and an excellent selection of unique greeting cards.

This is one of my favorite stores to buy gits for other people, and especially for myself. If your a fan of the Curly Girl Designs, check out Marmalade, they have a awesome selection. They relocated a while ago to a bigger space in Belmont Center. They have everything from stationary, wall art, candles, stocking suffers, beauty/​body care, and more. It is nearly impossible for me to leave this store without buying something for myself or someone else. The owner is friendly and helpful, and they will wrap gifts. Lastly, some of there stuff can be on the pricey side, but sign up for the e-​mail list which sometimes offers discounts.

This is my favorite little shop to buy gifts for friends (and for myself!). I love their gorgeous assortment of jewelry, scarves, handbags, candles, cards and beautiful things for the home.
I always make Marmalade my cut-​through for other things in Belmont Center when I park out back.
The ladies who own the shop are so friendly and I love how nice my gifts end up when they wrap them for you. Love love love Marmalade!

I frequently run to downtown Belmont for my weekend Starbucks fix and for the past few months, my eye has been drawn to the enchanting window displays that Marmalade has completed month after month. I finally went in for the first time today, and was happily rewarded for my curiosity. The store is exactly as its window display suggests: polished, whimsical, sophisticated, and full of items that make me swoon. Their merchandise ranges from perfectly scented soy candles and pretty table linens, to wrapping paper and greeting cards, with plenty in between.
This afternoon, I purchased a taupe and white Turkish bath linen, and was very impressed with the sales associate’s (owner’s?) knowledge and enthusiasm about the product. I will return to Marmalade whenever I need a gift, or have the opportunity to buy something nice for myself, not only because it’s filled with unique and quality merchandise, but also because the staff is so *nice* and friendly, something that I haven’t happened upon in too many of my recent shopping experiences.
Marmalade is doing it correctly, in every aspect.

Just like all other reviewers… I love this place. It’s more than your ordinary gift/​card store. It has really unique cards, paper, jewelry, home items. It’s a small space but I could spend hours in there looking at everything. Really nice people too!

I stopped in here to get a gift, thinking that it was the former store that was located there.
To my surprise, it was a new store with completely different wares. I loved everything in here. It had a very handmade feel to the the items… even though they may have not been.
Cute bags/​clutches, unique and pretty jewelry, pretty paper…
Definitely a great go-​to place for a unique gift!
They opened just recently in April, and I know they will do great in the center! :)
I will be heading back to the store soon!

Super little gift store. Great place to find a creative present. Love that they have a wide range of items to choose from with prices that will not break the bank. Many items are locally made and the owner is friendly and helpful. Innovative, cute and fun!

I’ve been a fan of Curly Girl Design for awhile now, and was excited to check out this little shop outside of Boston on a recent trip up north. It did not disappoint, Carrying a full coterie of Curly Girl Designs (from cards and Prints to iPhone Decals and Coffee Mugs) There were plenty of other objet d’art to browse through — soaps, home décor, toys for children and adults, even honeys and preserves and seed kits. Overall, it was an explosion of beautiful things — talk about Sensory Overload, there was so much to look at I ended up circling this small shop several times, and I’m sure I could easily spend hours going through the wonderful wares inside this Inspiration Emporium.
Simply put: this place was a-​mazing! I highly recommend stopping in this lovely shop that almost feels more like a studio, like taking a sneak peak into the artist’s imagination, and being able to take some of the treasures to enjoy at home! My only complaint, I wish it were even bigger, and that we had one in Philadelphia! Can’t wait to visit again next time I’m in the area.

Sweet, creative, local products in a small setting make this place a gem. I’m glad the store isn’t any bigger because I would find even more things to spend my money on!
I love their Curly Girl waterbottles and prints, their home décor, and the stationary options. Marmalade has a little bit of everything and is perfect for treating yourself or buying a gift for a friend.

This is not just a gift store– it is a gallery of that which is beautiful, fun and wise. It is a total experience. Leigh’s cards, calendar, artwork and posters are witty and thoughtful. Her message resonates and the images are delightful – perfect.
The jewelry is unique, whimsical and well made. All the scarves are to die for– same with the bags and belts. Actually, everything in this store is something that I would like to buy. To top it all off-​it is such a delight to get to know Lucy the dog. I relish every moment while browsing. A trip to Marmalade is a fantastic experience– a treat that you won’t want to miss.

Agreed, this is a great little shop with an adorable interior, great sales help and easy parking. It’s a excellent take for a girlfriend, birthday or hostess gift. Lots of unique items and the prices were quite reasonable.
Best of all they stock a lot of locally made products — it’s owned by a local designer of cards, bags, prints, etc that’s all produced downstairs, in the basement.
