New Holiday  Arrivals: What's In Store This December

Our shelves look a little different this December. The Shoppes, inside Middlebury Furniture at 1101 Southford Road, just brought in a fresh wave of holiday arrivals — so there's always something new to discover when you stop in.

Fresh  Arrivals for the Holidays

Our inventory rotates constantly, and the holidays are our busiest season for new pieces. From plush and toys to cozy layers and home finds, here's a look at some of what's new this year — though the best way to see it all is in person.

New Plush & Toys

Our full Jellycat shipment just arrived with this year's soft, neutral collection — the wolf, bear and moose are already favorites. New this year, we also brought in Bukowski bears, a line of cute, collectible plush that's perfect for kids.

Cozy & New This Year

Barefoot Dreams expanded their lineup with new socks, hats and fingerless gloves this season, alongside their signature robes. For the littlest ones, we added soft baby pieces, including a cozy wrap line from England — great for gifting new parents.

New Finds for the Home & Gifts

Look for the new Lynn and Liana line of epoxy cutting boards with matching knives — a favorite for couples and wedding gifts — plus this year's MacKenzie-Childs collection, heavy on nutcrackers. Stop by The Shoppes at 1101 Southford Road in Middlebury, or call (203) 528-0130. Make a day of it, and contact us with any questions.

 Frequently  Asked Questions

  • What's new at The Shoppes this holiday season?

    New arrivals this season include the latest Jellycat collection, Bukowski bears, new Barefoot Dreams socks, hats and fingerless gloves, a baby wrap line from England, and the new Lynn and Liana epoxy cutting boards. This year's MacKenzie-Childs collection features plenty of nutcrackers. Because our inventory rotates constantly, there's almost always something new to see when you visit.

  • Do you have the new Jellycat collection?

    Yes. We just received our full Jellycat shipment with this year's soft, neutral collection, including the popular wolf, bear and moose. As an authorized Jellycat retailer, we carry seasonal and year-round plush, but holiday pieces sell quickly. We recommend stopping in early for the best selection before the holidays.

  • How often does your inventory change?

    Our inventory rotates constantly throughout the year. Right now it's full of Christmas arrivals; after January we shift to spring, and in summer we set up a whole beach table. This steady rotation means repeat visitors almost always find something new, so it's worth checking back throughout the season.

  • When is the best time to shop for the newest arrivals?

    Earlier is better, especially for fast-moving items like Jellycat and seasonal pieces. New arrivals sell quickly during the holidays, and once something sells out it can be hard to restock. Shopping early in December gives you the widest selection. We're open Tuesday–Sunday, with added Monday hours through the holidays.

  • Where is The Shoppes located?

    The Shoppes is inside Middlebury Furniture at 1101 Southford Road, Middlebury, CT 06762. We're open Tuesday–Sunday, 11 AM–5 PM, with added Monday hours through the holidays (starting November 30). Call (203) 528-0130 with any questions, or stop in to see our newest arrivals in person.
