Black Paw Trading - Pickering Wharf

Let us start by welcoming all of you to the Black Paw Trading Co., a family owned and operated gift shop. My husband and I purchased the business in March of 2005 in hopes of finding joy and excitement in being entrepreneurs. We encourage you to browse our site in hopes of finding the right gift ideas to buy or as a point of interest when vacationing in the Salem, MA area. We strive to appeal to all and hope you find something that peaks your interest.

The store is located in Salem, MA, Witch City, USA. Salem can be found north of Boston, MA, along the beautiful coastline of Massachusetts. In Salem, the Black Paw is nested on Pickering Wharf, along Salem’s waterfront. The store is open year round, with limited hours of operation during the winter months. We carry a little bit for every season, most notably Halloween, along with gifts for all occasions.

Here at the Black Paw, we carry an assortment of candles like Colonial Candles of Cape Cod, and exclusively for us, Olde Salem Candles. We carry an array of tea light candleholders with dragons, fairies, and Halloween shapes. We sell tees and sweatshirts with many unique designs and logos all year long, to allow you to dress for the ever-changing New England weather. As you venture around our web site, you’ll notice we carry a few collectibles like Demdaco Angels, Alley Cats, and our popular Department 56 Halloween items. Tucked between all these wonderful gift ideas are our Salem, MA souvenirs. You can pick from ornaments, mugs, magnets, key chains, and many stuffed little creatures.

So whether you visit us in person or our website, we hope here at the Black Paw, that your visit was a pleasurable one. Please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or drop us an email. Again, thank you for visiting us and we hope to see you all in person while vacationing here in Salem.
