Taste of Culture, Cambridge

Gifts and value...this is a funky place, not many left in the Harvard Square area, and a place to get gifts for friends and family. Right now, the inventory is 1/2 price for many goods. The owner travels throughout South America to find unique gifts; she buys from cooperatives and indigenous crafts makers in Peru, Chile, Ecuador, etc. And she is one great person as well, very generous and appealing. In a time when so many stores are corporate entities, this is a place that is quaint and can't be duplicated. Check it out....definitely worth a stop.
