Zo Much More, Needham Heights, MA (2025)

Today, the Zo Much More "𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱itude Tour" made its way to Proud Mary Gifts, a much beloved gift shop in Needham Center.

Zoe has given and received many gifts purchased at Proud Mary over the years and to say she's been warmly received on her visits there is a colossal understatement. Today's tour visit actually pretty much turned into a product trade! She left there with almost as many gifts as she brought to share - including a bracelet that says, "HAPPY", one of Zoe's favorite songs.

For the Zo Much More products, Zoe tried to capture the Proud Mary color scheme, different fonts and the flower in their logo - as well as their "Life is a Gift" tagline - and showcase the fact that they offer gifts there for recipients of all ages and just about any occasion. Thank you, Proud Mary!!

While the specifics of Zoe's Post-22 life are still a work in progress, we wanted to use these last few weeks in her beyond awesome Needham High School Post-Graduate Program to thank the many local places in Needham that have served as her community classroom to help her develop important life and social skills as she graduates into her role as a productive adult member of this community. Nicknamed the ""𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱itude Tour", Zoe will be stopping by several local establishments over the next 3-4 weeks, accompanied by her super-dedicated NHS Post-Grad support, delivering sample Zo Much More products that she made and customized for each place uniquely inspired by her interactions with them.)

Next up on the Zo Much More " 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱itude Tour " today was Cafe Fresh Bagel in Needham Heights. Conveniently located on Zoe's walking path from her job at Temple Beth Shalom back to Needham High School, Cafe Fresh Bagel is one of Zoe's favorite places to stop and get lunch. Although her schedule hasn't been as favorable for this stop of late, she loves their cinnamon raisin bagels and their killer chocolate chip cookies. The staff is always patient and friendly to her - even when the place is packed!

Zoe loves the colors in the Cafe Fresh Bagel logo and focused on the coffee cup and bagel motif for the products she made for them. She even included beads meant to look like the style of bagel Cafe Fresh is known for. They definitely win the prize for the most team members to get in a tour picture (so far). Thank you, Cafe Fresh Bagel!

Rainy day in Needham made much brigher by two more fantastic stops on the Zo Much More "𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱itude Tour " today.

First up, an incredible Needham landmark, !
Given the choice between Disney World & Volante Farms, Zoe would pick Volante Farms 100 times out of 100! In fact, she'd pick Volante Farms over just about any destination. Apples have long been a mainstay of Zoe's diet and Volante's is her number one source for them plus she loves so many other things they sell. She has convinced her Dad to take her there pretty much every Saturday for years and let's just say, she is never 'just browsing". Truthfully, we've used Volante Farms over the years to practice Zoe managing her impulsivity and to develop appropriate shopping skills. Like Zo Much More, Volante Farms is a family-owned and operated business although they've been in business roughly 100 years longer than we've been around. They are notoriously generous and supportive of individuals with disabilities and the community in general.

The green and gold in the pens & bracelets Zoe made were intended to play off the Volante Farms 100 logo and she chose to include beads for all the products to represent some of the many things they sell and she loves to purchase there. Taking the tour picture in front of the apples was a natural. Thank you, Volante Farms!

The final stop (for today) on Zoe's "𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱itude Tour was French Press Bakery and Cafe. French Press is a newer addition to Zoe's favorites places but it has risen in the ranks quickly. Anyone who frequents French Press can attest that it has the feeling of being the heartbeat of Needham Center. A meeting place for many with a seating layout that encourages socializing and meeting new people, French Press is a dream for a sensory seeker like Zoe. She loves the friendly vibe of both management and clientele as well as the buzz of the energy there - and they have a chocolate chip cookie there that she can devour in no time flat!

Zoe focused on the coffee cup and bean in in the French Press logo in many of the products she made for them - as well as the artistic mastery of their bakery items. Thank you, French Press!

There was never any question that Zoe's next stop, Treat Cupcake Bar, would be part of the "𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱itude Tour." Whether directly or indirectly, Treat has been a part of most major milestones in Zoe's life. If you know Zoe, you know how drawn she is to color (& sprinkles) so we can neither confirm nor deny that the Treat logo inspired Zoe's Bat Mitzvah color scheme many years ago. Treat Cupcakes were literally the centerpiece of Zoe's Sweet 16 Party.and a feature at her 21st birthday celebration. We will never forget calling Treat to order cupcakes for one of Zoe's birthdays and the voice at the other end said "Oh we love when Zoe comes in to visit!"

Zoe made use of that Treat color scheme she loves so much, adding cupcake beads including some with a ring around some of them in the spirit of Treat's logo - and even simulated the sprinkles in one of the Fidget Pens. Thank you, Treat!

Super busy morning with 3 stops on the Zo Much More "𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱itude Tour" to 3 awesome local favorites.

First stop this morning was at A New Leaf. Zoe has recently rediscovered this old favorite spot. When Zoe was younger, we would always make a trip to A New Leaf before her birthday parties to make sure we had good safe treats for any guests with food sensitivities - and we love that this great resource is available right here in Needham. The people are always friendly and it's a comfortable place to spend a little time. And for someone who loves both fruit and cookies as much as Zoe, this place is outstanding!

Zoe played off A New Leaf's logo and green color scheme in the products as well as the pineapple from their Juice Bar sign.

The team at a New Leaf wasted no time putting these Zo Much More gifts to good use - sending a picture of them in action within minutes! Thank you, A New Leaf!!
