About Occasionette

About the shop

Occasionette is a curated gift shop, opening the doors at its first shop in 2013 on South Philly's East Passyunk Avenue. The shop has grown substantially over the years and now boasts one of the city's largest selections of independent cards and gifts. In the summer of 2017, the flagship location (twice as big as the first!) opened in the heart of nearby Collingswood, NJ. 

In both Occasionette locations you'll find cards for every occasion, candles, tea towels, jewelry, bar wares, candies, notebooks, journals, photo frames and much more. Occasionette seeks to be an asset to its community in each neighborhood, from serving as a site host for CSAs from local farms and being the perfect place to pick up that little something for the people you love. 

Fall 2020 brings the opening of a third storefront, Occasionette Joy Shop, also in Collingswood NJ, just a few doors down from the flagship shop. Joy Shop is full of self care goodness - candles, bath soaks, teas, chocolate, fuzzy socks, journals, paper goods, and more.
