Cottage Collections  A Dicksons Company

Cottage Collections (formerly Cottage Garden) began in 1996 when Maryland entrepreneur Mark Timm, drawing on his experience as a specialty retailer, launched a gift brand built on quality, fair pricing, and lightning-fast service. These founding principles fueled remarkable growth—doubling sales annually through 2001—and earned the company the reputation as America’s top music box manufacturer.

In the years since, Cottage Collections has focused on in-house product development, featuring proprietary artwork and sentiment-driven designs. A family-driven ethos has remained core to its identity—Cottage transitioned to an employee-owned company in 2016, reinforcing its commitment to a people-first culture rooted in passion, creativity, and attention to detail

Since becoming part of Dicksons in 2018, Cottage Collections has scaled its offerings and reach while preserving its signature brand DNA—quality, fairness, and speedy shipping. Along with the introduction of Elanze Designs, Cottage Collections now brings boutique-style décor, fragrance, fashion accessories, and giftable tabletop accents to specialty retailers with fresh, on-trend collections.

Cottage Collections is a perfect partner for gift shops, garden centers, tourist boutiques, and hospital gift lines, Cottage Collections delivers retail-ready appeal with effortless merchandising. Backed by Dicksons’ robust logistics, a multi-category portfolio, and a commitment to in-stock reliability, retailers can confidently present eye-catching assortments that resonate with seasonal trends and customer sentiment.
