I'm glad to hear that buybuy BABY in West Hartford has reopened, providing a valuable in-person…read moreexperience for assessing baby items. It's a great place for those who prefer to feel and see products before making a purchase. The reopening is a welcome addition to the area, helping customers make informed decisions about the quality of baby items. Overall, a fantastic resource for parents-to-be! Selection was great and also lots of sales going on.

Took a trip to see what Max & Lily's Closet was about. It was a small, cute, and very clean…read moreconsignment shop with items from baby to tween clothing, maternity clothing, toys, books, decor, and many other treasures for kids. The shop is very well organized, toys are well kept and wrapped nicely together, and there were a lot of luxury brand clothing, gently used. They coin themselves they are West Hartford's finest children's consignment shop. The pricing was fair for most items (toys, decor, etc), but clothing seemed a bit high. They do have a rewards/loyalty program which I signed up for--I got 10% off my first purchase AND $5 off. Also, if you are local or close by they have 10% off Tuesdays. The young ladies that rang us up were very nice. I'd likely visit again since the shop is very clean. A lot of second hand children shops are cluttered, disorganized, and have a strange smell. I do love Max & Lily's Closet's mission to go green and reuse.

They seem to vie with each other to see who can be more rude. Today I tried to purchase an article of clothing for a little boy. The salesgirl handing me something in pink. I said no, it's for a boy, and she argued with me that it was in the boys section. After telling her "no" four times, she left and said someone else would have to wait on us. We left and spent our money three doors down at Old Navy where the salesgirl was pleasant and accomodating.

I left frustrated and empty handed and went to target. I like carters, but it got cold fast this year and I needed this stuff for my daughter ASAP. They specialize in childrens clothing, they should carry seasonal essentials.

The employees were always amazing with assisting me in selecting and purchasing their wide variety of products. The discounts and promotions were always comparable to competitors as well. Being able to touch and test products in store made me more confident about my purchases. Thank you for making my experience in prepping for my little one memorable.

Hope & Stetson is lovely little, family owned boutique in West Hartford Center. There are quality…read moreitems here for women, babies and some small items for the home. I've seen some casual summer dresses, jeans and sweaters for women, as well as some pretty jewels and other accessories. The best part of this store is how appropriately priced the items are. They also have small sale section. Right when you walk into the store, you'll see the words "happy place" on the ground. I absolutely love this detail. The staff who work here are always ready to help find you the right size and guide you to find what you might be looking for. There is no pushiness to make a purchase. The baby section is adorable for a special gift for someone, but some of those items are a bit costly. I love stopping by this store. It's beautifully set up, organized and easy to navigate. They have fitting rooms and a welcoming, friendly staff. Hope & Stetson is a family owned boutique I love to support.

This was a stop fully decided by my wife and even just the name caught her eye. She is a huge fan…read moreof anything comfy and cozy and this place is aptly named with their assortment of leggings, blankets, scarfs, hats, and other accessories. It was a brand/chain we were unaware of and had never heard of before. It is a smaller size store of the mall and if it was busy moving around would be difficult. Thankfully during our stop in they were offering a deal on everything in the store for a cheap price of $10. This is realistically the only reason why my wife made the decision to even buy anything. Normally the leggings the sell for $40 each so the two pairs she was lucky to snag for a little over $20 after tax would normally be $80+ after tax. While she has enjoyed the leggings and believes they are very comfy/cozy does not believe they are worth that hefty price tag. So, if you visit this location or another, and even go to their website I would say only grab things if on sale and not at full price. This is the reasoning for the 4 stars instead of 5.
