When it comes to putting together a thoughtful gift, we firmly believe in the thrill of the hunt. It’s not easy work, but the ingredients can sometimes be found right in front of you. While the internet is obviously a helpful tool, more often than not you can find what you need in and around your own neighborhood. The items in this guide that are not from Pod were found in and around our own neighborhood: At the stationer’s, a café, a small vintage shop—and even the butcher’s. You can download the guide here.

So swing by our website or stop in at our brick-and-mortar shop and explore Cambridge. Or, poke around your own neighborhood and investigate your local independents. You might discover something new and wonderful. And if not, we’re just a few clicks away. 

We are thrilled to hosting Tina Burgos- chief curator and founder of the online lifestyle site Covet + Lou. A veteran retailer in the Boston community and overall arbiter of great taste—you hopefully remember Stel's on Newbury Street—Tina will be serving up some of her favorite emerging designers including Ace & Jig, Lauren Manoogian, Nico Nico, Misha and Puff, Atsuyo et Akiko, The Great Lakes Goods, and more! Items for women, kids, and home will be on hand. Doors open this Friday October 16th at 11a. Not to be missed! 

Thursday, June 25th is the, whew.. official last day of school. You see, in case you don't live nearby, our shop is situated right across the street from the Baldwin Elementary School and playground. Our brutal winter has these kids locked and loaded until the end of the month. What better way to break free than with a good old fashioned ice cream social. Come one, and all, we are thrilled to be hosting honeycomb creamery as they begin to launch their delicious small batch ice cream biz right outta Somerville, MA. Seriously tasty flavors will be scooped into cones and cups. Wildly excited last-day-of-school kids, relieved parents, and sprinkles will be on hand. Two hours of scooping 2:45-4:45pm. Bring your wallet--pints for sale too. Oh yeah, tossed into the flavor mix will be a gorgeous sorbet.
