In 2012, Elizabeth and Donovan Cain opened the doors to Hazel Baby & Kids in downtown Jersey City.
When expecting their first child, Landon, Elizabeth and Donovan realized there was a need for a local store catering to expectant parents and their children. Finding none, they decided to create their own, naming it after Elizabeth’s beloved Great-Grandmother, Hazel.
Starting a new business is never easy, but with a clear vision and a lot of passion, Elizabeth and Donovan dove right in. They envisioned a place where parents could find everything they needed for their little ones, from essentials to unique, thoughtful gifts.
From day one, the belief at Hazel Baby & Kids has been that local families should be surrounded by products made in a socially responsible, environmentally friendly, and sustainable way. This philosophy guides every decision, from the brands carried in the shop to the types of organizations and events Hazel has partnered with throughout the years. Elizabeth and Donovan carefully select products that align with their values of quality, sustainability, and community. Each item you find at Hazel Baby & Kids not only meets those high standards but also contributes positively to our local and global communities.
As a small family business, Elizabeth and Donovan have had the great joy of watching their customers' families grow over the years. They’ve seen babies grow into toddlers, toddlers become children, and families expand with new siblings. Each visit, each smile, and each shared story has played an important role in building the strong community and connection at Hazel Baby & Kids.
