We’re an independent, family-owned shop dedicated to kids and the kids-at-heart based in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada). We search high and low for thoughtful, playful, and beautiful treasures: clothes, toys books, homeware, stationery, art supplies, and other objects designed for the whole family to enjoy. We believe in fun for all and in the power of play to bring us closer.

We look for products that are fit for purpose, well-made, long lasting, and good looking. We research the brands we’d like to carry to make sure that they are committed to manufacturing responsibly and with care. If you ever come across a product or brand that you think would align with our values, please do send us a note via this contact form or email us at hello@parkette.ca

We prioritize companies, artists and makers that have a considered approach to the packaging and materials that they use. We also select our own packaging and shipping supplies carefully to ensure everything is either recyclable or compostable. Above all, we make sure that everything we offer is designed to bring joy to you and your family. Because the most environmentally friendly product is the one that’s truly loved.  

We offer a well-curated experience that aligns with our aesthetic point of view and values and is built upon personal curation by real humans and not an algorithm. If we don’t love it, we don’t stock it – it’s that simple! We’re also committed to supporting our local, Hamilton-based customers with pop-ups and other events tailored to their needs.

Our orders ship from our brick-and-mortar shop located in Hamilton, ON.  Please allow 1-2 business days for order processing.
