Pleasant Surprise

This shop is so much fun. It's my go to every year when I'm looking for unique, funny, original, goofy gifts for the holidays. The prices are reasonable and the staff are really helpful. If you're looking for something different than the milk toast stuff offered up at the mall, check out Pleasant Surprise. You will be pleasantly surprised.

This was the first time I entered the shop with my cousin. There's an incredible selection of collectibles with lots of incredible scents like medical Marijuana. There was also a book of the queer eye dude that looks like Jesus and a Shakespeare book that made me realize he looks strangely like Dr.Phil. The customer service was incredible. The cashier even helped us name our unborn children. Incredible. I can't wait to see my beautiful baby boy, Philbert. Definitely recommend.

This is my go to place to buy all my gifts. there is something for everyone here and always at a fair price. Every time i go there is something new and cool i have never seen. Perfect place to shop for the person who has everything. The staff there have always been very helpful in picking out gifts with me. It is a must stop shopping destination !

Cute little souvenir shop. Bought a stone elephant and a couple of plush lobsters (very cute!). They had a sale going on so the prices were pretty reasonable. Staff was nice as well.

The Pleasant Surprise is what you would think as a dull normal gift shop. Instead, when you walk in, you will be Pleasantly Surprised. The store has 2 sections. There are lots of gifts and things for all ages. It even has a variety of sweets. They change there stock often so be sure to check in once a month to see what’s new. I think this gift shop is awesome and that you should visit!!!!!!

I love this place! It's an adorable shop with TONS of gift items for everyone and anyone. They've got kitchen items, books, notebooks, household decor, cards and more. I love popping in here and just looking around whenever I'm on Thayer Street.

Items in the store are fun and unique. If you are looking for a gift for someone who has everything, this is the place to shop.

Cool, fun store with employees that don't follow you around. There's something for everybody here, from local/RI-themed goods, to funky ice cube trays, to clothing.
