Hive & Forge

5 Stars – A Must-Visit Gem in Salem! 🖤👻 We were told by several people in the community that we had to stop by Hive & Forge—and they were absolutely right. This shop is a total treasure trove of spooky cuteness and eclectic magic! It has the perfect blend of dark whimsy and artisan charm. We were instantly pulled in by the incredible smells coming from the soap section, and yes… we adopted a ghost in a bottle (no regrets). 🕯️👻 Their collection is beautifully curated—featuring local artists and makers, but everything is displayed in a way that feels organic and elevated, not flea market-ish at all. Think apothecary-meets-haunted-boutique with a side of mystical flair. They had some really unique men’s button-down shirts that caught our eye, and I couldn’t resist the gorgeous jewelry—I ended up purchasing several pieces that I’m totally in love with. Everything felt one-of-a-kind and meaningful. The woman working inside was super sweet and helpful, happy to chat and share info on the makers and items in the store. Whether you’re hunting for a quirky gift, a magical accessory, or just want to soak up all the witchy-curated vibes, Hive & Forge is a Salem must-visit. Can’t wait to go back! 🖤✨

Obsessed with this place! Such a beautiful little shop. The smell of the soaps and candles placed towards the front of the shop draw you in. Lots of amazing curios, oddities, loose leaf teas, candles, soaps etc. They seem to do a great job of supporting other local businesses and artists.Lots of unique pieces available. I could've spent more time in there and if I ever go back to Salem I will absolutely visit here again and recommend it to anyone who visits. I got preserved piglet in a shadow box and an art print.

Our tour guide told us to go here last October to avoid long lines for shops that have stuff you can buy on Amazon. This shop was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I bought the coolest souvenirs for my friends, family, and myself! I was in here for so long. Coolest shopping experience. Even though it was busy, all the employees were literally so nice and in such a good mood. 10/10.

This is an eclectic "Hive" of craftsmanship and creative artistry. From old books and metal work to taxidermy and handmade soaps. Definitely worth checking out on a regular basis to see whats changing.

What a beautifully curated shop featuring local artisans!! The shop is an eclectic of vintage and hand crafted items from ceramics, jewelry, handmade soaps, clothing and so much more. It is not a typical tourist spot at all! You can tell the artisans work hard to keep things fresh and ensure any patron kind find something to their liking!

cutest lil store full of oddities and art! I spent nearly an hour in here and could have spent an hour more. beautiful prints, beautiful clothes, beautiful jewelry, and SO many unique stickers and pins. Best little shop in Salem and absolutely worth a visit!

I love this place! This is a wonderful shop to support local artists. Hive and Forge has a unique selection of artisan products, curiosities, clothing and jewelry. Everyone can find something cool here. The owners are really chill and make you feel welcome. I would highly recommend this being your stop for a special gift from Salem.
