According to its website, Mellow Monkey is a home decor and design as well as gift store nestled in an old warehouse where the Housatonic River meets the Long Island Sound.
Mellow Monkey offers on-trend décor, home accents, and gifts, featuring a curated blend from international designers to local artists, per its website.
As noted on its website, Mellow Monkey is a popular statewide destination that lives up to its reputation of being "anything but the ordinary."
Readers' Choice voters agree.
"Hands down, the best store to find unique gifts in Connecticut," said Monique, a Readers' Choice voter.
"Absolutely wonderful gift shop, they have everything!" said Joan, another voter.
Owner Howard Aspinall expressed his gratitude for the win.
"We're over-the-moon that Daily Voice readers voted us Best Gift Shop in Fairfield County," he said. "It's especially meaningful to us considering our unique location for a retail store—in a warehouse on a dead-end street! In our 10th year, shoppers have learned that we really are the fun store for fun people, worth the trip from anywhere! Thank you!"
To celebrate this win, Mellow Monkey is giving away one free pair of Spring-inspired floral stud earrings with purchase for those who mention "Daily Voice." One pair per person while supplies last.
Congratulations to Mellow Monkey!
The shop is located at 360 Sniffens Lane in Stratford. Visit Mellow Monkey for more information.
