The Velveteen Rabbit

What a great experience! This local business sincerely cares about their customers. Robin was super helpful, demonstrating all of the various features of the strollers, car seats, bassinets, and other equipment they stock. Diane joined to help showcase the quality furniture. If you're looking for baby (or older) furniture and equipment, start here!

My wife and I went to The Velveteen Rabbit on a whim, mostly just to look at the UPPAbaby stroller. Upon walking in, we were immediately greeted by Robin, and a beautiful store filled with items that felt like they were hand picked by mom. From the softest stuffed animals, to the cutest clothing, and a collection of adorable books. We immediately connected with Robin and Diane, and ended up chatting with them for hours. For us, The Velveteen Rabbit will be a go to for years to come. ❤️

From the minute I walked in the door it felt like a hometown local owned store that just made you feel super comfortable to do business with! The woman who helped us named Robin was super helpful I don’t know what they pay Robin but they should for sure increase it because she is worth it. Robin greeted us the minute we walked in the door with a bright big smile, we were there to look at an UPPABABY VISTA stroller and as soon as we said that she was right next to us giving a full demonstration on it! She did so well you would have thought she invented the thing. She upheld a high standard of professionalism and answered any little question we had and if she didn’t have the answer you better believe she got it for us in literally seconds. Robin made us, the customer, feel super important, not like one of the big named chain retail stores. The Velveteen Rabbit had our children’s needs and our wants at heart the entire time we were there. I am very picky about the people who try to help me at a store because nine times out of ten they only want your money, not this place they want you as a friend. I fully suggest anybody looking for stuff for the baby visit The Velveteen Rabbit! They are fantastic and please look for Robin, and Mrs. Diane Wand if you are reading please value your employee because I will definitely be a returning customer! Thank you once again to The Velveteen Rabbit for making my wife and I super happy!

Employees are very helpful. They know their products and give very detailed demonstration on how the Uppa Baby stroller works and car seat. Easy to work with and the stroller came in quickly. I highly recommend Velveteen Rabbitt

The ladies here are top notch. I go in and tell them I’m looking for two boys size “x” and “y” and they pick out the most beautiful put together outfits. The store itself is beautiful. Supporting local means more than you know to any small business owner and I know they truly appreciate it.

This is a fabulous store for quality clothing and gifts. Don’t miss this.

Saw the pictures. You guys must be moving. So excited for you! This store is amazing. You feel like family when you shop here. Quality merchandise and exceptional customer service. Thank you ladies for always going out of your way to help us. Can’t wait to shop at your new location.

They were so friendly and helpful! I went to look at a specific stroller and they showed me both models, and all of the features on each. As well as showed me different attachments you can get for them.

Nice clothing, staff is very helpful. They have seasonal events to showcase the merchandise.

This is a great place for something special! The dress I bought my granddaughter was so cute. Great styles to pick from! The business owner was a joy to work with. Very helpful and their website is easy to manage! Glad I stopped!

This shop is a one of a kind! Its a shop where you can find a unique item for that expectant mother or something for your own child. The customer service is absolutely AMAZING! The ladies in the shop are extremely helpful and very knowledgeable in the products that the store carries. I was very impressed with the amount of inventory in the shop, such as furniture, clothes for boys and girls, toys and other necessities you may need for that special little bundle! Not to mention the shop was clean and very organized. I loved smocked items and bonnets and if this is what you are looking for this shop has plenty of options. I can't wait to use my items I purchased when my sweet baby arrives. If you have a minute to stop by you won't be disappointed! I highly recommend this little gem of a shop!

First let me say that the address on here for this store is wrong, it has moved to 7386 Harbour Towne Parkway #19 Suffolk VA 23435. The phone number is correct at 757-483-0750. I was in this store on Friday, April 26th and was so impressed that I returned later that day to the store to have a more in depth look without my child. I was amazed. The store was so neat, organized and beautiful. They allowed my child to play with some toys while I shopped. They had an AMAZING selection of clothing, bedding, toys and other items. They had great gift ideas. The sales Lady was so personable and really took the time to help me find what I was looking for. She went over several different things in the store to help me make decisions. She listened to what I was looking for and offered wonderful suggestions. I bought several clothing items that were classic and timeless. Exactly what i was looking for. I came all the way from Richmond to browse in her store and it was well worth the drive. I suggest that anyone either expecting a child or with a child take the time to check out this store. It made me a little nervous to have my child with me, because it was such a nice store but the sales Lady was very comforting, kind and understanding. I am on a distance restrictions due to complications with my pregnancy but otherwise I would be driving back sooner. I plan on going back after our daughter is born. It is wonderful place to get a personal and unique gift for an expectant mother. I highly suggest this store!
