Frog & Toad

Frog & Toad's Providence shops approach gift buying through humour and a strong sense of place. Rhode Island-themed souvenirs sit beside work by local artists, with cards that can be irreverent rather than conventionally sentimental. Asher and Erin Schofield built the business around that mix, and their own Frog & Toad Press adds original designs to the shelves. The press produces items such as cards and stickers, giving the shops an identity beyond reselling other people's goods.

There are two Providence locations, on Hope Street and Westminster Street, and the shop's own information confirms that both welcome in-person browsing. The range is particularly suited to a small gift or a keepsake that refers to the city, though locally themed does not necessarily mean locally manufactured. It is worth making that distinction when choosing an item for its maker as well as its message. The online shop provides another route into the selection, while the team invites questions about goods seen in person but not listed online. The emphasis remains on individual objects and designs rather than a uniform souvenir range.
