A new neighbor moved into the East Rock neighborhood in early June, Pebbles Toys & Gifts. A curated shopping experience for kids and their grown-ups, Pebbles is stocked with the most creative and imaginative toys and goods for the whole family. Plus, the shop offers in-store programming for kids. To usher Pebbles into the community, we sat down with owner Alex Kleiner and General Manager Lauren Coleman for a chat – keep your eyes on our blog for the full conversation. For now, here are three reasons why we love Pebbles.
-
Pebbles is family-owned and operated and run by New Haven locals. That’s what we call “keeping it in the family.”
-
Pebbles is New Haven’s first and only dedicated toy store, beginning an exciting new chapter for the East Rock neighborhood.
-
Pebbles gives back to the community, not only creating a space where both kids and adults have fun, but by working with local non-profits and other small businesses. Since opening, Pebbles has already supported and partnered with several local schools and nonprofits.
