Hmm, it was right on the Downtown Mall but seems to have moved just off of it. Anyway, there are actually not too many locally-made items and some goods were a wee bit expensive, but overall, it's swell.

I was impressed with the size of this toy store and excited to see that they carry many of my favorite toy brands like Folkmantis, Calico Critters and Ravensberger puzzles. They had a lot of fun sounding games I hadn't heard of as well. Aside from high quality toys and puzzles Shenanigans also had some really nice seasonal stuff like Advent calendars. My husband and I explored for quite awhile and finally landed on a Jellycat branded stuffed animal for a friend. For such a lovely store I would have expected there to be a little bit more in the way of service. For the fifteen minutes we spent in there the only acknowledgement we received was three words when we checked out - twenty-three seventeen. Maybe the employee was just having a hard day.

They also ship gifts, which I LOVE! and shipping local is free and within the US is free for purchases over $50! Small businesses rock, and I especially love this one!!

Everyone there was so happy and welcoming and we already can't wait to return the next time we are in need of a gift! Basketful has great items for anyone on your list from welcoming a neighbor, to sips and sits, children's gifts, traveling gifts, pets, and more! They will even create baskets from afar to serve people in our local #cville area! This could be your parents who don't want to send you money, or friends who know you may be getting married who can't attend. The gifting possibilities are endless! Of course we HAD to pick up some items of our own and these were some of our favorites which was hard enough to narrow down! Here's what we brought home today! 1. Flip Vase! Choose your own cute plants to put in this mini flipable notepad! The pages/vases change on each page and the mini vase holds water! 2. Dual candle with cactus and mango leaf scents! The candles smell amazing and I plan to reuse this as decor for another planter when the candles are done! 3. Picnic or throw blanket with the cutest combination of colors! I loved the theme we choose for our items! 4. Incense by YUYA NO SHIZUKU in the fragrance Water Dragon from Japan.

When visiting in early November they had tons of ornaments and I was pleased to find two very detailed wool deer ornaments for my Woodland Creatures Christmas Tree. Ten Thousand Villages sells a variety of fair trade items like jewelry, accessories, handbags, home decor, trinkets and such but I spent most of my time looking at Christmas decor. There are various Ten Thousand Villages locations but I'm not sure how many in total. I know there are four in Virginia and two in Maryland.

After putting up hundreds of flyers, we got a call from Carrie who put together a person who was buying a leash for a dog they found, with us, the desperately searching, heartbroken dog owners. Although a reward was offered, Carrie refused it. While we were in her store, we noticed how welcoming and well-stocked it was, and what great items she carries. It is a great place to find whatever you need for your furbabies. Thanks' to Carrie, we were able to enjoy the holidays with Teddy, instead of anguishing over what might have happened to him. Carrie is an angel. Shop in her store!
