“A great Christian gift and book store right in the he center of Bethel. The owners were so nice and helpful. Highly recommend this place if you need a special gift or book for a new birth, communion, conformation, graduation, baptismal , wedding etc..”
“In 1986 I graduated from Florida State University. My friends got together and bought me a Decanter Set which I have used since that time. While moving a few years ago I broke the Tequila Decanter and thought it irreplaceable. I just found and ordered the replacement Tequila that is exactly the same as in 1986. During the process I corresponded with Crystalize and they were amazing. My Decanters are used often and still in perfect condition after 33 years. Kudos to Crystalize for having a great product.”
“Came through for us finding a difficult to source prescription when no other pharmacy in the area could do it. Seamlessly worked with our doctors and insurance company to make sure it would be covered. 5-star service, great attention to detail, no long waiting lines and a personal touch you can't find anywhere else.”
“This place is a gem! Great place to find one of a kind gifts. Made by local artisans, this is a go to when I want to get something unique that’s not mass produced. Love the vibe and seeing local artisans creativity come alive. Every time I stopped by, a staff member was very helpful and friendly and gave assistance when needed. I like to take my time to look and admire the work. My latest buys are jewelry from BeadFreeForever (always gets lots of compliments when I wear her jewelry).Also picked up a dish cloth with a catchy quote by Two-Dutchess. Definitely recommend!”

They always have something new whenever we go and we love that it's Newtown! they've got a lot of artsy Newtown and Sandy Hook branded stuff as well as puzzles, coasters, books, charcuterie boards, throw pillows and tons more.”

I have had to call on 2 occasions to change a delivery date and modify an order and staff was very helpful and got everything done quickly and correctly.. no complaints, definitely recommend them :-)”
“A small, but charming store with country charm. I stopped in for some locally made soaps and ended up buying some signs to hang in my home. Prices are very reasonable for the items. Clean and welcoming, I will certainly stop in again soon!”
“The Gift Cottage is a staple of downtown Bethel, which starts with the super cute and well-kept exterior. Inside are lots of well made gifts, most of which you won’t find anywhere else (especially the Christmas ornaments that have scenes from area towns — those are specially made for The Gift Cottage, and are hand painted!).
The prices are what you would expect for good quality items, many of which are hand made.
Be sure to try a truffle, but be warned: you may leave with a box! They’re out of this world.
Last but certainly not least is the staff - Joan, her daughter and the rest of the team are genuinely friendly people who clearly love the store, their customers, and take pride in curating unique gifts that fill their store.
My wife found several treasures, including a nice small purse and mosquito repellent scarf! Oh, and of course truffles. =)
I HIGHLY recommend The Gift Cottage and can’t wait to return.”
