The store carries home furnishings, home and fashion accessories, bath and body products, tabletop items, baubles, custom stationery and unique gifts. Whether you're looking for scented candles or a new designer handbag, the collection of wares at Pear Tree House is eclectic and charming. There is even a small selection of high-quality baby products.

Pear Tree House stands out from other Tucson stores because it offers classic and contemporary Southern-inspired design. The boutique was inspired by owner Chris Wangensteen-Eklund's love of the Southern shops of her childhood. So, if you need to add a dash of homespun whimsy to your home or office, Pear Tree House in Tucson is the perfect shopping spot to browse and explore.

The store also has a popular gift registry program. Your friends won't have to guess what you want for that big special occasion. Most items can also be wrapped and shipped, so you can also send that one-of-a-kind gift home safely.
