It's the kind of store where you can easily find something for just about anyone and any occasion. They have a great selection of greeting cards and some of the most unique wrapping paper. Also, we've picked up several Jellycats here for our niece. Prices can run a bit high, but that's part of the charm since many of the items feel thoughtfully curated and aren't the kind of things you'll find everywhere else. The staff is consistently friendly and always greets us when we walk in. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind gift, this is the place.

They have a great selection of gifts - from Lilly Pulitzer, Kate Spade, and Mudpie to Scout and Swig. Once a year, they do an open house where the whole store is on sale. I typically stock up on crowd pleasing gifts like Swig cups, Scout bags, and Richmond themed gifts so I always have something on hand if I need a last minute present. The customer service is pretty top notch, too. All the staff members are friendly and gift wrapping is complimentary.

I usually come here when I need last second coffee beans since they carry Recluse coffee. I also have fun visiting this shop with friends when they visit me in Jackson Ward. One of my favorite things to buy here is their birthday card that has a candle imbedded into it along with a match. I think it's so cute and whimsical and the birthday person always loves it. I've been wanting to buy some of their beautifully colored taper candles. Every time I walk in always admire the ladder covered in an array of rainbow candles. If you're looking for a unique gift or a new statement piece, Odd Bird is the place for you.

New Discovery was a medicine for consumption (tuberculosis) a disease which at the time was killing millions of people. Many companies offered cures and remedies for consumption. However, all were frauds, including this, which was actually a concoction made from a morphine and chloroform mixture, calculated to strike terror to the doctors or to any other class or profession, except, perhaps, the undertakers. It is a pretty diabolical concoction to give to anyone, and particularly to a consumptive. The chloroform temporarily allays the cough, thereby checking Nature's effort to throw off the dead matter from the lungs. The opium drugs the patient into a deceived cheerfulness. Add a touch of alcohol (to further dull the sufferer's pain, and hey, it helped (until it didn't) The combination is admirably designed to shorten the life of any consumptive who takes it steadily. It was pretty cool and the owner/manager was a blast to chat with as well. Quite a few oddities "not for sale" and most likely not a store for everyone. Check it out if you dare. No charge for admission.

The place is filled to the brim. There is a little something for everyone. The owner was extremely nice and allowed us to look around without much interruption. She was super knowledgeable about the sources of all the items which was really nice to hear about . The prices all felt very fair with a majority being in the 20-25 range with a couple on the cheaper and more expensive side. I loved the name and had to really stop myself from "stuff"-ing my basket with everything. I was able to get a couple of cards for gifts for others and would definitely reccomend this spot if you need a gift for those friends "who have everything".

It isn't cheap, but a lot of it is artisan-made. The Gallery is located inside the hotel, it's a mix of a gift shop and a gallery. The Gallery itself is down some stairs in the gift shop section and also near some windows on the same level as the gift shop. They always have rotating artists. In the past, the downstairs part only had art up, but it now looks like they're putting up some things to sell as well. It's free to visit, so if you don't want to buy anything that's ok. The people who work here are always super welcoming and kind. I highly recommend stopping by.

This was one of the first stores in the area to carry reproduction Miriam Haskell jewelry. The owners also produce a few of their own items including pop-art-ish plates with silhouettes on them and tote bags featuring prints of old Richmond postcards. I've also seen funky cameras, felt handbags, earrings made from recycled tin and a selection of note cards and stationery that always makes it hard to leave without something. Most recently I'm in love with the little reusable cloth sandwich and snack bags featuring bold patterns; the glass water bottles and wine glasses that are made to resemble their plastic counterparts; and the wooden "Not Plastic Cutlery" that comes in packaged in a cloth napkin. The fun selection makes this a great place for buying gifts or just treating yourself. If you're there to shop, make sure you check out the front of the store and the room in back behind the main gallery display. There's lots of good stuff waiting for you.
