Nutmeg Handcrafted Gifts

I absolutely love coming into the shop! Karen is so sweet! It is the perfect little shop to find gifts or something nice for yourself. I buy most of the thank you gifts for my doula clients from Karen. There has not been a time I have stopped down and been disappointed. My clients absolutely adore everything they receive! I'll always be back!

I was visiting family in CT from Los Angeles, CA wanted to bring home some cute Connecticut made items for my co-workers. My mom suggested this shop so we popped in - The selection is wonderful! This gift shop has everything especially their local goods! Shop is very cozy and has so many treasures! The owner was knowledgeable about her products and helped me pick out some things for my co-workers and family to bring back home with me - I bought so much she even shipped it back to my home in California because I knew it wouldn't all fit in my carry on! Would highly recommend this store to anyone who needs a gift for any occasion!

I always find everything I need in this shop. I absolutely love that everything is handcrafted. Alot of the items are local, which I think is fantastic.
Karen is an amazing person and helps you anyway she can to make sure you are satisfied. I have been buying her candles and soap for years. I won't buy candles from any other store anymore.
It is a trip you must take.

I can’t speak more highly of this shop and it’s owner Karen. I was so happy to hear that this shop moved to Watertown down the street from my house making it just that much easier to stop and shop there. Karen’s candles are the ONLY candles I burn in my house these days and she will refill the decorative glass jars some of her candles come in once they are burned down! The candles burn forever and smell strong enough to smell throughout your home. I get so many compliments about the candles when I host at my house and Nutmeg Handcrafted candles are burning. They make the best presents for anyone who loves a good quality candle. Karen makes every item with such care and to such high quality. She also offers her handmade soaps which are made just the same. Nutmeg Handcrafted is my one stop shop for all my unique present needs, they also can wrap what you buy in beautiful gift bags making it the perfect last minute place to shop in a pinch. I can stop there the day of an event and always find the cutest gifts for every occasion. Karen patiently has explained to me what crystals offer what meanings and how to sage my home correctly, as she has an array of different crystals, palo santos, sage bundles, and incense for all your witchy needs. Karen has also gone above and beyond to make a special one of a kind candle for a family member of mine whose pet passed away and made a custom label for the candle to make for a unique and thoughtful gift. Needless to say she cares about her customers and will create what you need if you can’t already easily find it in her store! I’ve bought a beautiful mirror there for my sweet baby girls nursery as well that I was so excited to find. Karen knew so much about the artist that made the mirror and it made it that much more of a special and unique item. All of her items are local or have meaning behind why she has it in her store. If you haven’t already, stop by and check this store out… you will not be disappointed that you did!

Love these products! I have a candle in each room, but honestly it only takes one to make my whole house smell amazing. Unlike most candles that I buy from stores only keep their scent until about 1/4 of the way through, these keep a strong lasting scent even if the candle isn’t lit. AND THE SOAPS give you such a natural, clean feeling without leaving any sticky/slimy feeling like most scented soaps do, the clover fields is my favorite ! Karen is hard working, very personable, and you can just tell everything she makes is made with love! This is definitely a business worth supporting!

These candles are amazing!!!! I have been searching for homemade candles for a while and I found my spot! So many different scents to choose from too. I have placed two orders within two weeks and I’ve been extremely happy with both orders. Very fast shipping and wonderful customer service. Highly recommend!!!!

Absolutely in LOVE with the candles!!! Currently have vanilla bean & witches brew burning in 2 different floors of the house bc I couldn't chose! Love supporting small businesses and Karen knocks it out of the park with amazing gifts made from local people! ( you may say im obsessed!) Only place I buy gifts!

Walking into Nutmeg Handcrafted Gifts is a feast for the nose. A great place to buy gifts or a special gift for oneself. So many unique choices.

Simply amazing! These candles not only burn a loooong time, they smell amazing and easily fill the room. The soaps are soft on your skin and I always feel great after a shower. I also love that these are handmade with love, local or you can buy online! I moved out of state recently and I am sooo happy that I can still buy from Karen! I honestly wouldn't look anywhere else, I've tried a bunch of brands over the years, Nutmeg Soap Works simply out performs in EVERY way!!

Simply put - DECADENT! I’ve never had candles which smelled so amazing! The presentation of the candle, with its eye catching labeling on the mason jar and eye catching colors, makes it a centerpiece that can be placed anywhere in your home.
Now, for the important part, the scents themselves - INCREDIBLE! I own four varieties, and each one is soothingly pleasant and Uber refreshing! Also, the alluring bouquet of each candle lingers long after blowing them out, dispensing a divine aroma to whatever room I place them in, which I’ve never had with any other candles I’ve ever purchased. MUCH better than Yankee Candle, in ALL facets!
I HIGHLY recommend trying these candles out, I ASSURE you, you will NOT be disappointed! And with the large selection of scents available, I’m sure you will find one that you will enjoy just as much as I do! Rest assured, when I get through these, I will be doing another candle run to restock! Bravo, Nutmeg Soap Works!

Karen is such a warm hearted soul in helping her customers shop in her new beautiful store!!! I travel across the state to shop for gifts and also treating myself. Her store is very clean and organized.....and best of all handmade!!! Will be back soon for holiday shopping! Thank you!!!

Magical!! That's the word I use when telling people about the candles and soaps ..... and melts!! Obsessed with candles ( vanilla bean, cherry almond and every single seasonal smell are amazing) ! Equally obsessed with alllll the soaps!! Love everything! Truth be told, things I've bought as gifts....I've kept because I can't give up!!

My wife picked up some soap today from the farmers market. I had the pleasure of using the Tobacco Road. It's bar far one of the best smelling bars of soap. Definitely going to get a couple more bars.

Best soap and candles! Perfect spot to get that gift for someone who is hard to buy for because they have everything or to just treat yourself!!! Stop in and check it out!!!

Wonderful products, made with love!
A long lasting, hand poured, treat for the senses!
I use these everyday, and my customers love them, too! Truly a product that can speak for itself!

I just received my shipment on these candles and they are divine! I can't wait to check out the soaps that Karen makes!

Great products!! Long lasting candles!! Great variety of scents!!

Absolutely LOVE this shop!!
