Your house is a collection of all the things you’ve come to love throughout your life. The records on your shelf, the books by your bed, and even the mugs in the cabinet tell the story of who you are as well as who you are becoming. When you’re buying items for your family, it’s helpful to find a space with a curated selection that seems to understand you. At Dwell New Haven, you’ll feel as though you’ve stumbled into the house of your new best friend. If you’re looking for some fantastic gifts, I’d love to tell you more about it.

Dwell New Haven is a woman-run shop that first opened in September of 2017. When Kimberly Pedrick founded the shop, she wanted to create a space with products she knew her customers would love as much as she did. She has worked hard to craft a space that immediately feels like home. Everything from the warm ambiance to the hand-selected products feels personal yet inviting. The shop offers baby clothing, home goods, stationery, pet products, and candles that will leave your house smelling amazing. You’ll find both locally produced items as well as one-of-a-kind goods from across the globe.

One of the highlights of Dwell New Haven is the baby products. Kimberly has sought out soft materials and adorable patterns so your baby can have the coziest wardrobe. The boutique offers clothing from Savage Seeds, Petite Plume, Our Green House, and Milkbarn. Once you’re done checking out the clothes, go to the toy section, where you’ll find knit dolls from Bla Bla as well as snuggly blankets from Angel Dear. The shop has an impressive selection of Jellycat plushes and keeps a rotating stock of holiday-themed toys. You can also buy books and specialty baby skincare products.

Once you have everything you need for your baby, it’s time to move on to the rest of the shop. Here, you’ll find goods that will transform your home. You can buy taper candle sticks, framed wall decor, thoughtfully created prints, and decorative pillows. The shop is your destination for Rifle Paper Co. with picture frames and recipe holders.
The apothecary section and the candle section are full of scents designed to help you relax. You can find candles for meditation as well as for cleansing.
Dwell New Haven is also one of the best places to find gifts. They sell themed glasses, old-fashioned drink kits, paper cards, keychains, and more!

At Dwell New Haven, you can have a curated selection of goods that will elevate your space. Check it out today so you can treat yourself.
