Topdrawer — Local services in Brookline

Staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable! I found this place because I’m a pencil nerd and I particularly like B and 2B pencils, which aren’t the standard in the states, but are in most other places. They had a variety of quality pencils in an assortment of degrees. I also really like that they had paper for trying them out and could be purchased individually (there are few things I dislike more than buying a pack of ten pencils and then finding out I hate them). These are the three that I purchased. The Stabilo Othello is my favorite out of these, but I really like them all! I will definitely be back for more. Pencil caps were made by me. I didn’t see any pencil caps in the store, but perhaps they might sell them...

I’m so sorry I didn’t get your name (based on the receipt I think it’s Kendrick M.?) but thank you so much for helping me find honestly my perfect wallet! I wasn’t even looking at this particular one but after your recommendation I realized how perfect it was for my needs!! It’s so compact, sleek, hold everything I need and potentially more, with a high quality and not so high of a price tag!! It might seem dramatic to leave a review over a single and simple wallet lol but this seriously fits PERFECTLY into my life. Best purchase I’ve made this year!! Thank you for being so kind...

It's a fun shop with a great selection of pens, pencils, markers, paper, etc. I go in to get erasable pens for work which I love. They also have a big selection of indoor slippers and sleek minimalist backpacks and bags. Keep in mind, the bigger items like bags are quite expensive, so I would call many of the brands "luxury" brands, but you can still get away with buying a few pens or pencils for under $10. We've been in and found some of the sales people intolerably pushy and talkative, but other times they are great. I guess it depends on who you get! Overall though, it's...
