Beacon Hill is not all antique and interior design shops. You'll find a couple of funky spots tucked in among the antiquities, and Black Ink is one of them. It's a tiny place with an entire wall of rubber stamps and colored stamp pads. Kids with an artistic flair will love the idea of creating their own stationary or cards with a stylized stamp. It also offers a collection of European post... more

Rubber stamps and ink pads, delicate ribbons, cards, tin lunch boxes and embroidered mittens are just some of the trinkets you'll find. We like the Zen candlesticks ($6), green froggy banks and the creamer creatures. Reasonable prices make Black Ink's treasures even more appealing, so surprise a friend with a sushi candle set ($18) or a pet photo album. There's also a miniature library, with... more

Funky, unique gifts are this Charles Street shop's specialty.

The Scene Cute and fun gift ideas abound at Black Ink, where sensual candles meet children's books and Chinese slippers. Small in size, the store fits perfectly into the warm ambience of Charles Street. You'll want to walk right in after a glance at the knickknacks lining the walls. The Goods Rubber stamps and ink pads, delicate ribbons, cards, tin lunch boxes and... more

The wacky wares here defy categorization, but they all fit comfortably under the umbrella of "oh, cool." Rubber stamps, stuffed animals, and offbeat books caught my eye recently; greeting cards and retro toys are equally appealing.

a fabulous selection of gifts and items not to be missed. the ecclectic mix includes something for everyone: cool european toys, sleek, designerly housewares and quick grabs like fake sushi. it's nice that they incorporated items from the museum of useful things, too. the "hello my name is" glassware makes a great housewarming present.

Pros

+ great selection, decent prices, best gag gifts

Black ink is one of my favorite unique gift shops in all of Boston. They have a nice selection of stamp pads and stamps that go with the name- but they also carry many unique items like high end candles and small accesories. They also have a small book section that make excellent gift ideas as well. The staff here is also excellent and will help even those of us that don't know what to purchase... more

I love to go to Black Ink when I am looking for a gift for someone that is hard to buy for. They have a really weird selection of merchandise. Some of the items I have bought are ink pads, sushi candles, cards and a pet photo album for my mother. They also have a great selection of gag gifts. The store is usually crowded, but for some reason the crowd of people adds to the atmosphere. The... more
