I have driven past Tweed more times than I'd like to admit and I never went it. In my mind Tweed…read morewas a store full of tweed fabrics which is not really my thing. My curiosity got the best of me and I finally decided to give it a try and let me tell you Tweed did not disappoint. Tweed is like a home goods boutique selling all of your favorite brands like Scout, Yeti & Lily Pulitzer just to name a few. They also do monogramming (for an additional cost) and custom complimentary gift wrapping. Tweed has easily become my new sanctuary and go-to place for a cute gift, new trinket or handbag. Don't wait as long as I did to treat yourself to Tweed!

I love deal stores, especially ones that handle mostly Amazon/retail returns since you can usually…read morefind some near-new items for a great price. That said, the key to stores like this are selection, visibility, and price, and this place is only okay in all three regards. Came here at the recommendation of another Yelper who also enjoys deals. The fact that I came straight here after a visit to somewhat-close-by Discount Depot provides a good point of comparison: while this place has a fair number of bins, you can search through everything thoroughly in about 20 minutes due to its size. While prices are fairly standard for this kind of store, they certainly did not have much on the $10 day (Fri/Sat) that merited spending $10 on. Indeed, most of the boxes here are wrapped up so tight with no labels whatsoever that you can't really be sure what you're getting at all. A gentleman informed me that you could take boxes up front to be checked, though how manageable of an approach is that when each bin has a hundred mystery boxes? A better approach would be for them to open them, write on the side what it is, and put it in the bins, though maybe that's just not worth it to them. All things considered, while I might swing by again if I happened to be in the area (especially on one of their cheaper days), it's not worth going out of your way for. If you want a much better volume of options (most of which you can actually see what you're getting), head down the road for Discount Depot. Overall: 3.0 stars ---- Pros: - Lots of parking. - Prices are great after a few days, though on the $10 days not so much. - Store interior is clean and inviting. Cons: - Boxes are wrapped up so tight you won't know what half of the items there are. - Not as much selection as other stores of this nature. - This area has some security risks, so aim to come during daylight hours if possible.

As part of my quest to visit as many stationery shops as I can in 2026, I was more than pleased to…read morefind Merrymaker on a recent trip to Richmond! Located in the quaint, lively, historic retail district of Carytown, Merrymaker proudly holds the title of Richmond's oldest stationery shop. The space itself is small-but-mighty, with everything from locally-made greeting cards to an impressive selection of planners, calendars, and notepads in literally every shape, size, and color. They also have rack upon rack of specialty wrapping paper, and an entire corner of the store is dedicated to custom stationery. At the front of the shop, you'll find a jawdropping selection of pens (including fountain pens) in every shape, color, and price range. Of course, I couldn't leave here without a small notebook (or two), a couple of lovely postcards to send to friends back home, and the determination to start my own fountain pen hobby "someday." Bonus points for the super friendly woman at the front counter!

I love this card and stationary shop in Carytown. It's the oldest one in the neighborhood and has…read moresome absolutely gorgeous things inside. They have a great selection of cards, journals, pens, planners, and wrapping papers. It's one of those shops that you could leave and come back in 30 minutes and discover something new. It's curated with love. The people who work here are extremely passionate and helpful. I came here with my manager and we had a blast. She ended up getting a few postcards and a travel planner. I fell in love with a small journal I got for about $16. I loved the journal because it reminded me of the Canal Saint-Martin, I'm excited to use it for card game scoring. There is really something for everyone here. There are lined journals, blank ones, squared one, and more. There is a huge variety of planners with different layouts. It felt like they had something for every preference. Not to mention, the fanciest pens I've ever laid my eyes on. I highly recommend checking this local gem out.

I think this is a beautiful shop. I mean it. It's like you've stepped into a Parisian gift shop…read more They have individual displays of tea, cocktail extras, perfume, candles, cards, dish towels, etc. I smelled the candles and wow they are luxurious. Everything is pricey, but if you think of this shop as a place you go to find a high end gift, then I think it's a great place. I would especially recommend it for Mother's Day goodies. Your mom needs one of their candles. Also, did I mention they are friendly and happy to help you look?

I loved The Cozy Journal so much that I went two days in a row. My manager who is a huge journaler…read morewas in town so we had to check out the hot and new journal shop in Carytown. I've been seeing this on a lot of newsletters so was super excited to visit this incredibly charming spot. We went on a Friday morning and it was packed. It was also packed on a Saturday morning. Richmond is excited to explore a new paper and stationary shop. They had all your journaling needs from washi tape to pens to stickers and more. They even had crafting supplies, cards, and wax seals. On Friday I fell in love with some beautiful stickers. Walking around the store left me feeling so inspired. When I left I kept daydreaming about the junk journal I kept as a child. I had recently gotten some film photos back from my birthday and bachelorette so decided I wanted to buy a beautiful journal to "junk journal" in. I went back on Saturday and got this stunning big journal, washi tape, and a few stickers. The pricing seems pretty reasonable here. You can get beautiful journals for what seemed to be $25-40. A lot of the washi tapes were $5. The stickers were $3.50-6ish. I'm sure some pricing was higher and lower, but it depends on what you're looking for. I highly recommend checking out this charming and inspiring shop.

Best gift shop in the RVA area. Stumbled upon this shop…read moreabout a year or so ago and I've visited every time I need a gift for someone. They literally have a gift for anybody and everybody. They've got their main floor, a back room (up 3 tiny stairs), and the upstairs (up the spiral staircase). They've got 2 doggos and 1 cat in shop. The cat is a local to the area whose previous owner had passed and given them their cat. The doggos are the owner's and they are super sweet ! Don't forget to give them pets on your way in & out ! The owner Mark & his wife Maggie are such a hoot ! I love coming in and chatting with them. They will suggest items based off genuine opinions and suggest something similar to what you may be on the hunt for. This place is definitely not for someone who has a specific idea of a gift- this is for someone who is on the hunt to find a unique and fun gift for another person (or themselves). The prices are pretty fair too since everything is sourced from local, or small businesses. There is too much to document. Just go in and check it out !

If you are in the area, you can certainly stop by for some nice pens, papers, cards, bags, and gifts. The staff was great and super friendly. They were also super helpful.
