Retail · Greater Fredericton

Carrington & Co. is a locally owned gift and lifestyle boutique that has been in business since 1998, located at 225 Woodstock Road inside the Delta Hotels Fredericton, along the river just west of downtown. The shop carries a hand-picked mix of products from around the world: women's clothing and sleepwear, jewelry, bags and accessories, bath and body products, home and kitchen pieces, and baby and kids items.

The brand list is a big part of the draw. You will find Jellycat plush toys, Lug travel bags, Michel Design Works, and Canadian-made jewelry from Constantine Designs, including sterling silver and 14k gold pieces. On the chocolate side, the store's website currently lists Rogers' Chocolates, the longtime Victoria BC chocolatier, so this is a reliable stop for a boxed-chocolate gift even though the Godiva name lingers in the store's listing.

Shoppers describe the store as merchandised with real care, closer to a high-end department store display than a typical hotel gift shop, and reviewers consistently praise attentive, helpful staff who make suggestions and go out of their way on gifts. Custom engraved necklaces done through the store have come up in reviews as a standout.

Because it sits inside the Delta, it is easy to miss if you are not a hotel guest, but it is open to everyone and works well as a one-stop spot when you need a polished gift. There is also an online store at carringtonandco1998.com that ships orders.
