I loved everything inside, and wanted to buy one of everything! If you're looking for a gift for almost anyone, this is a good spot to check out. The prices were pretty reasonable, but some were a bit pricey (to be expected). I can't wait to go back for another gift!

Shop local like you mean it and you won't be disappointed at Texture!…read more After many years, Texture has relocated out of the quaint house on Baldwin Avenue to serve its customers in a more convenient location just a few blacks down on Colley Avenue. The new location is nestled next to Running, Etc and across the street from Blair Middle School. It boasts ample street parking with a convenient side parking lot for customers as well. A beautiful store-front window is always displayed to perfection bringing window shopping to life during your stroll down Colley Avenue. A charming sidewalk chalkboard sign greets you before you even enter the store. The handiwork on the sign is done by a local artist which speaks to the nature of Texture. As you enter the shop, you will find it proudly supports local artists of Coastal Virginia from Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, and more. I'm always impressed by the jewelry, hand designed greeting cards, pottery, and accessories that the owner finds for the store. She or any other "Texurette" will happily tell you about the origins of any item. The ladies who work in the shop (Texurettes, as they are fondly called) are always friendly and helpful if you are looking for something particular. They offer complimentary gift wrapping in adorable gift bags tied with ribbon. Every time I give a gift in a Texture bag the recipients eyes light up! You will find a price range for every wallet. I have bought $2 hand soaps, hilarious dishes towels for $10 as well as beautiful jewelry in the higher price range. Texture is one of those local shops who truly supports local as well. I love both that they give back to the community and support local artists. It is definitely the ideal place to find a gift for any occasion. They have a baby boutique with one of a kind baby gifts, vintage inspired puzzles, funny gifts such as socks and dish towels, coastal decor, jewelry, handbags, pottery, candles and more. I'm not sure how the owner did it, but the move to their new location only brought more of that local charm with them to Colley Avenue. They are still serving up friendly southern greetings to every customer while making their new shiny store feel ever so welcoming. Kudos!

They have some cute gift items and make custom fake floral arrangements. One of the things pointed out to me was that you can bring in your own vases or cases and they will build something for you based on your colors and request. Additionally, they sell these pretty fake magnolia wreaths and can update/change them for the seasons. What a cute idea! I saw tons of pretty things inside including seasonal gift/decor, candles, soaps, lotion, and Lampe Berger which are fancy Parisian room diffusers. Nice! With loads and loads of scents to personalize and cleanse your space. I'm def. coming back from one of these! The friendly lady inside, names Leslie, was a pleasure to chat with and took my name for when more of their Parisian lamps come in stock! Def. a great place to browse if you are looking for a gift, I found my husband a gorgeous decanter for Valentine's Day that he loves! I came back a few weeks after my first visit when the Berger lamps came back in stock and purchased one and we love it! Absolutely a great gift idea and so unique. A different lady helped me this time and she was just as nice as Leslie. Welcoming and super warm and provided me with all the instructions I needed for using my lamp the first time. Small shop, but a real gem.

This store was one of the few places open at the time so we went inside to see what they had. Typical tourist gift shop with souvenir clothing, toys, beach apparel and toys, snacks, alcohol beverages etc. They're basically an all-in-one shop if you need anything from food to clothing! Of course everything has the tourist price tag though. My brother in law purchased a beach hat so he wouldn't burn up in the summer sun and that cost him a whopping $50. They definitely have some cute stuff but you'll be paying the tourist pricing for it! Cute shop though.
