This local Richmond shop is one of our go-to spots for unique gifts. Love the aesthetic, and we…read morealways make it a point to stop in whenever we're on Cary Street. 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.

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!

Things can…read morebe a bit on the pricey side here, but it makes sense because it's either locally made, handmade, or high quality. 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.

This boutique is so cute!…read more I went in based on a recommendation from a local who informed me that they carry a brand of bracelets that I LOVE called e newton. I was happy to see that Sassy Bee had a huge assortment of jewelry from this brand, more than I even expected. I was able to select a few bracelets that I needed for a gift, and for myself - I couldn't resist! The employees at Sassy Bee are very warm, welcoming, and helpful. They assisted me with picking out the perfect bracelets for my gift and with staying within my budget. They also informed me of an upcoming sale, their complimentary gift wrap offering, and their personalization offerings such as engravements on charcuterie boards, reusable tumblers, picture frames, and more. At this point, I am hooked and will definitely go back for myself and for the perfect gifts for loved ones! Good thing they told me about that upcoming sale, after all.

The prices are a little higher compared to other boutiques in the area but their selection is huge and they offer gift wrapping onsite. Parking is plentiful so if you are looking for a unique gift or want to walk off your River City diner breakfast, I recommend stopping into Sassy Bee. It also seems like they have customer appreciation sales/specials often so it might be worth it to sign up.

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 Gallery has unique rotating exhibits, but I really love it for the gallery shop. Co-owner…read moreKatie Ukrop maintains a great collection of jewelry, textiles, sculpture, home decor, paper goods and "tchotchkes" from the Richmond area and across the United States. 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.
