About
This Hell's Kitchen shop is best for anyone hunting for a distinctive gift or a home accessory they didn't know they needed. Delphinium Home opened in 1999, founded by former musical theatre performers who saw a need for a welcoming retail space in the neighborhood. It's LGBTQ+-owned and carries a curated mix of gifts, home decor, kitchenware, bath accessories, and unique greeting cards. The store is small but packed with options; regulars praise the selection of shower curtains and the staff's helpful, friendly vibe. You'll find things here that you won't see at chain stores. The shop offers complimentary gift wrapping if you tell them it's a present. It's a pleasant stop if you're walking along Ninth Avenue, and you might even spot something for your own place. Hours are confirmed via Yelp: open daily from 11:30am, closing at 7:30pm weekdays and Saturdays, 6:30pm Sundays. Check hours and reviews.

“Great place for gifts, but...”
They should add a section for gay greeting cards. Check out www.gay-greetings.com for all your LGBTQ greeting card needs (and remember the hyphen)!

“cute things...and staff”
I enjoy coming here because there's always some little trinket you don't actually need but buy anyway so you can chat up the guy at the checkout. I guess that's a positive, since I keep returning.

“The perfect place to pick up a housewarming gift.”
If you're invited to a housewarming or dinner party and have no idea what to bring, head to Delphinium Home and you'll find plenty of choices from kitchen gadgets to modern home decorations. Let the staff know it's a gift and they'll wrap it up so you're ready to hand it to the host as soon as you walk in.

“Pricey but fabulous!”
If you need that little extra something for any room in your house but can't figure out what, visit Delphinium and you'll discover it! They have lots of cute, quirky home items, including the best shower curtain selection in the city since a local home store closed a few years ago. Yes, it costs more than big box stores, but the service is better and you're supporting a gay-owned business.
