They offer candles, home furnishings, jewelry, pretty much anything you can think of. It is beautiful inside. I can't believe I didn't know about this place! I found them by chance. I think this is the perfect place for people who might want to do some Holiday shopping but do not want to brave (gulp) the MALL! I am one of those people who prefer a charming gift shop oozing warmth and New England charm to the impersonal business and crowded hassles of the big box stores and shopping malls. There is alot here to explore and it is easy to find and parking is ample. It reminds me of the lovely shops in Cape Cod and Maine, places I adore and do not see much of in Fairfield County. Now that I am aware of them, I will certainly be there frequently And here's a tip: they personalize many of their items, if you want that service. You just can't beat that. Highly recommended.

And I waited too long to buy a few specific cards. I was greeted at the door with a friendly hello, and the check-out staff person was also very pleasant. The store was very busy, but there was no line at check out. A different staff person thanked me as I was leaving. I found everything I was looking for -- a special card for my mother, very nice holiday thank you cards for a few people who've gone above-and-beyond during the year, and value packs of multiple holiday and new year cards that were just fine / not tacky. I didn't browse the gift items, but it looked like there was a lot of good stuff to consider for future occasions.
