What I left with was 2 teachers gifts and a bunch of stuff for me! Meghan, the owner, was there when I walked in and she walked me through her whole store. She had so much personal knowledge about all of her products. I had a difficult time choosing because I wanted everything! I really appreciated the reasonable price range for a boutique! Meghan hand makes Anthropology's famous Volcano candles in a variety of adorable containers, at a fraction of the cost! Most importantly, Meghan uses her shop to help our community. She does sip'n shops for our schools, where a portion of the sales for that day are donated to the school. On small business Saturday, a portion of the sales are donated to a local food pantry. Businesses who help our community will always earn my loyalty. To sum up- it's the perfect spot for one-stop gift shopping! (Card and wrapping paper/bags available too!)

If you love small businesses and you love your cats, boy... do I have news for you…read more The Cat Lady presides like the queen of her castle in downtown Newtown, alongside her two beautiful blind kitties, Reagan and Riley. If you're lucky enough to see the twins roaming about the store, ask them what they think you should buy -- I've been treated to them leading me directly to some of their favorite toys and requesting some one-on-one playtime. Every guest is family to these two. The Cat Lady curates her wares carefully. There are no cheap and useless toys here, no knock-off nonsense that your cat will turn his back on, and nothing dangerous that may hurt your kitty's delicate sensibilities. Whether you're looking for cat-related jewelry and clothing, cat-related decor for your home, cat-related gifts for friends and family, or a treasure trove of catnip-laced paraphernalia for your long-tailed beauties at home, this is the place to be. We make a point to visit Confetti Cats at least every few months to pop in and say hello to the twins, and to stock up on the toys that have proven to be "kitty crack" to our own kids at home. Ask The Cat Lady where the catnip fur "carrots" are -- real rabbit fur pouches stuffed full of catnip and topped with colorful bursts of bird feathers. Every fresh batch of these that we bring home results in hours of joy with our little ones.

Great place with so much to offer! We stopped by on a Monday evening and got to talk to Lauren who is one of the owners. She was very inviting and told us all about the place. Of course, we indulged in a few drinks while we were there. They have a nice selection of wine, craft beer, and nonalcoholic drinks and mocktails so there's something for everyone. They also have bottles and packs to go. The place is loaded with beautiful plants, accessories, plant supplements, and so much more. You can even pot your own plants or create floral arrangements. They also have a nice selection of books. And everything is priced very nicely. This is a very cool little place for plant lovers of all kinds. They also have yoga classes once a month.

On a Saturday afternoon, My Mr. and I decided to do a walk in and make our own candles. Thankfully they weren't busy. Highly recommend you book online if you have large parties. We were given a clipboard and pick out our favorite scents. From there, an employee will guide you through the process. You smell the oils and whatever pairs well, you mix them in a jigger. First before you do that, you have to pick out a glass. I highly advise you do the buy 3 get one free. Mix and match any size. It's more bang for your buck. After you mix your scents (you can pick up to three), you pour into the wax glass and stir until the oils are not in the bottom. We picked: Mine: Mahogany Roasted chestnut Vanilla bean Baked bread Bourbon Campfire My Mr: Orange zest Agave Bourbon Toasted marshmallow Dark chocolate Hazelnut Give them two hours for the wax to dry and you can pick them up. If it's close to closing time, you can pick it up the next day. We had so much fun making our own candles. The ladies were so helpful and down to earth. Definitely returning!

My lady and I walked in and asked to make some candles. Luckily they were not busy so we were able to get started right away. To start, they give you a paper and clipboard, and they let you come up with concoctions using the plethora of scents they have in the store to make two candles. You can also choose whatever glass you want the candles in to personalize them. Here's what we chose: My lady- Mahogany Roasted chestnut Vanilla bean Baked bread Bourbon Campfire Me- Orange zest Agave Bourbon Toasted marshmallow Dark chocolate Hazelnut You can mix the scents however you want before pouring it into hot wax to make the candles. They take about two hours to set. Ours turned out great, especially my toasted marshmallow/dark chocolate/hazelnut blend. This is super fun and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes candles.
