colorful, silly, and expensive This store is definitely the silliest and most fun in Harvard Square. Unfortunately most of the things there (unless you are buying pencil erasers or something) are quite expensive. This makes it a good place for browsing for attractively useless things out of a sense of wonder and then leaving without buying any of it. Try the Museum of Useful Things instead.

Funky and Stylish accessories with a Heavy Price Tag Black Ink in Harvard Square is always packed with browsers drawn in by their interesting window displays.

It's the type place where you want to buy lots of things but you really have no use for them and could not afford them anyways.

Quirky Finds at Black Ink Black Ink in somewhat of a unique store in that you never know quite what you will find in it, except that you know you will find something delightful and unusual. The store is a toy shop for big kids, and delights in selling all kinds of beautiful, unusual items. Even plates and cups are in unusual, yet vastly appealing, colors and shapes. They also sell cute magnets, or quirky decorations, and other types of novelty items.

Black Ink a Black Sheep, In a Good Way Every town has that loveable store where you buy useless baubles and trinkets when you can't think of anything else to get your best friend for her birthday. Black Ink is that, and more, for Harvard Square.

Black Ink - Eclectic and fun This store is great. All of the merchandise is very odd and fun. It is mostly things you can't find any other place. The mechandise includes plants that grow out of eggs, paper sheep that magically grow wool, notepads that look like sandwiches, and change purses shaped like donuts.
