We’re excited to announce two new product lines—plus the reintroduction of a beloved in-house design project.

 

Nielsen’s is now partnering with Grace Farms in New Canaan to carry their exquisite, responsibly sourced herbal teas.

 

Bold, aromatic and impossibly delightful, we are confident you will love this new addition. For the next month, stop in anytime to sample a complimentary tea—available through our rewards app.

“We take every effort to reduce our impact on the environment through the sourcing of our ingredients and production of our products and packaging. Our teas, coffees, and cookies are made with organic ingredients that help replenish soils and use less water all without chemical-based fertilizers. Our teas are packaged in plastic-free and biodegradable sachets that are better for you and the planet. When possible our packaging is made with post-consumer or FSC certified materials that are biodegradable or recyclable.”

Glasshouse Fragrances.

Just wow. This is the candle line we have been waiting for. Striking colors, bold packaging and scents that transport you. We are thrilled to carry these divine candles and diffusers, founded by a native New Yorker and exclusive to Nielsen’s in this area.

From the company… “We believe that our sense of smell is the most powerful one of all.

This is the world we inhabit and continually create at Glasshouse Fragrances. Complex, layered fine fragrances in many forms that make you feel something. Deeper. Beyond our product and yourself. What we make and where we take you is further than fragrance itself. Close your eyes. Open your imagination.

Fragrance is something we get to experience, like Alice in a sensory wonderland, bringing joy, style, inspiration… Our sense of smell is entwined with our memories, instantly jolting us back to nostalgic moments of the past. Fragrance is the one aspirational luxury that impacts everyone – no matter their age or dress size. It’s primal, yet precious. Instinctive, yet rarified. It can be comfortingly familiar or excitingly new. It makes us feel fabulous and glamorous, while elevating our spirit and soul. We strive to create a product that is technically flawless, unique, and has an uplifting effect on those who experience it.”

The Forget-Me-Not Collection

And finally, for those who missed it; we are now creating our own greeting cards in house. Titled the ‘Forget-Me-Not Collection‘ in memory of Margaret Peters—a dear friend and coworker who drew delicate forget-me-nots, now memorialized on our cards.

Employees submit artwork and photography each month and then we hand-select the best images to be used in each season’s collection.

 

We have two positions open here at Nielsen’s and are looking for 1 person for each position.

Looking back at our flower flares over the years, we’ve faced so many challenges and had so much fun doing them. Freezing flowers, heat, wind, we never know what we are going to come up against!

Our flower flares were inspired by a desire to share floral joy with our community after Covid. We wanted to create something bright and bold and joyful.

Our first year, in 2022, we installed 3 pieces over 3 weeks in surprise locations.

The following year, we were back at Grove Street Plaza with a Monet-themed design and last year, we were lucky enough to grace the DCA’s front entrance for their 203 Project. We love creating these installations for people to enjoy and every one is a different experience for us!
