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 !

Every time I stop in, there's something new -- local art, clever barware, lotions, candles, clothes, dog and cat items... You name it! The shop's "Think Outside the Box" vibe really fits: it's cozy, creative, and full of surprises. The staff are always kind and helpful, which makes browsing a pleasure. Honestly, if you live in Church Hill, you never have to go to Carytown again -- this place has everything you need for thoughtful, one-of-a-kind finds.

SUCH A CUTE STORE!

The store is huge with so many products to peruse. I also got a goat hand cream that is so moisturizing. The only downside is the dressing room - props for having one (since some stores don't) - but it could use some TLC, specially hooks to hang clothes on. This is a small piece of feedback - I definitely recommend this store!

Some lean religious but there's plenty of non-religious items too. I've purchased three pieces of art for my apartment. One is in my kitchen and two are hanging in my living room. I really like what they curate. They have other items too, like jewelry, soaps, kitchen fare, and some clothing, but I tend to veer toward the home decor. It's a great spot to find something to liven up your space or to snag a cute, reasonably-priced gift for a special occasion.

There was one other shopper in the store while we were there, and despite the small size it generally felt safe to visit. Hand sanitizer was available too, which is always great.

I usually take the bus when visiting, but there is street parking out front and nearby. This tiny bookstore has everything from books to small gifts. They carry most well-known trending books as well as fun local or independent finds. I haven't done it before, but it seems if they don't have a book in stock, you can order it through them. The prices are what you'd expect for a bookstore. On a recent trip, I was looking for a cookbook to get my friend for his birthday. There were specific ones he wanted. After hunting through their wonderful collection and having no luck, I asked someone who worked there. They were extremely kind and helpful. Although they didn't carry those specific cookbooks, they did give me recs for similar ones. I had a different question later and asked someone else who was equally as kind and helpful. I highly recommend visiting this bookstore. Although it is on the smaller side, there is a lot to explore. You will definitely leave feeling inspired to read more.
