About Us

Hi!  I’m Joanne Dondero, Proprietor of Abigail’s Crossing Gifts.

I opened Abigail’s Crossing Gifts, located in the center of historic Quincy, Massachusetts, in November, 1993. I wanted to offer customers a charming country store, featuring gifts and Quincy memorabilia. Over the years, our inventory has grown into an eclectic array of items offering “something for everybody.”

Our quaint shop, filled with gifts, collectibles, home decor, scented candles and soft, peaceful music is a pleasant getaway from the bustle of your daily routine. Here, you can browse our display of offerings, ranging from an inviting line of up-to-date Yankee Candle fragrances, to a vast selection of Boyd’s Bears, Byers’ Choice Carolers and colorful Vera Bradley Design handbags, accessories and luggage. Our “Cat’s Meow Village” assortment, featuring a variety of regional wooden replicas of historic places, also provides for wonderful memorabilia. Feel free to browse our collections at your leisure, either online or in person.

Anyone who has visited our store in the past will immediately notice that one thing has not changed since our founding: the wonderful service we provide. Most of our employees have been with us since we opened our doors! They know how to service our customers without ever being intrusive. The result is a delightful, comfortable shopping experience for all our visitors.
