Wow! I found PWD…read morewhen I was doing a search for baby stores so that I could get my expecting bestie some baby gear and I was not disappointed! I was trying my best to avoid large, corporate chains like Babies' R Us that pump out items by the millions. My friend's baby deserves the best, most unique stuff and I was determined to find it! It can be a little tough to find them, as we drove right by the first time; even though I was literally looking over as we drove by and saying, "Oh! It has a red slate roof like that building right there!" Well, that building was it. It's in a random location in a little strip of independent shops, and to be honest, their sign is ridiculously ugly. They could definitely use some help from my graphic designer friend in the branding department, but I couldn't let that stop me! We entered the super tiny, and somewhat cluttered, store and we were the only ones in there! It is kind of small, but those shelves and hooks are packed with unique product. It was exactly what I was looking for - a unique, independent baby store where one will find inspiring and creative items for baby and mom. I couldn't have been more happy with the selection of products - all things you can't easily find many other places, or that are imported from other countries or are just plain unique. They carry items for both baby and kid - from swaddles, bibs, burps, cloth diaper supplies (which seems to be a big deal?), stuffed animals, teething supplies, pacifiers and bottles, breast pumping supplies, children's books and toys and even some of those cool miscellaneous toys and gadgets that tend to amuse and delight both children and adults alike. I got an assortment of items for mommy-to-be: burps, swaddles, stuffed animals, teething toy, pacifier wipes, etc. which together totaled almost $90. Which brings me to the fact that this place is certainly not cheap -- I didn't really look at anything that was priced under $15, but that could also just be that I tend to be drawn to the most expensive items without even knowing it. I've just got an eye for quality! And even if the items were a tad overpriced, at the very least you could attribute the extra cash to the amazing customer service. There was one young girl at the counter, and she was extremely friendly, helpful and bubbly. She made the shopping experience quite enjoyable, asking what we were looking for, offering suggestions and even sharing some personal stories of her own about different items in the store. She made a great salesperson and an even better confidant. It was really refreshing after shopping in NYC for the past two months. All in all, an A+ experience on all fronts (accept a little steep in pricing) and I would absolutely return and would be more than happy if just about anything were purchased in this store for me when I finally have a baby!

They have some unusual and gifts and everything is excellent quality. Everything I've ever purchased here my friends (and their little ones) have been thrilled with, despite it not being on their gift registry. And, best of all, I can support a local business and spare myself the agony of a trip to Babies R Us. If you want a unique, high quality gift and dont want to spend hours searching for it this is your place. I hope they stay in business for a long time. The shop is easy to miss from the road because its in a small but very busy and somewhat non-descript shopping center. Dont give up until you find it!

The location is also ideal as its right on Greenwich's main street close to the train.

My friend Mindy and I visited during the Christmas season, and the store was beautifully decorated -- festive without feeling overdone. The candles were a huge highlight. They make their own, and they smell amazing. There's a great variety, and it's honestly hard to leave without picking up at least one. The owner, Robert, was incredibly kind and took the time to chat with us. He and his wife own the shop together, and you can really feel the care they've put into it. Beyond candles, they have a really nice mix of home décor, cards, and adorable kids' clothing, especially for the holidays. Overall, I really enjoyed my time there. It feels like one of those local shops you want to support and keep coming back to. Definitely looking forward to another visit.
