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.

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.

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".

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.

I will definitely be stopping by there again before the holiday season is through and even more in the year to come! *the attached photos are a little old but show a sampling of the fun items in the store!!

There are lots of fun tea towels and cool socks, beautiful cards, gorgeous mid century modern vegas style ornaments with names of cities and neighborhoods(Richmond, Bellevue, Museum District, Fredericksburg etc She just needs Petersburg!). I believe the shop owner makes the ornaments. She does make scented candles. So people have scented candles but these are exceptional-- the scents so nice, nuanced. I plan to get one next time. The jars them come in are pretty as well. I was in awe of the rings....they were sort of art deco yet sort of exotic. I cannot remember the lovely store owner's name but she said they came from Portugal. There were other fun rings made in Germany. She obtains her items from her travels and the store reflects that. I fell in love with a ring and had to have. It's gorgeous and I own nothing like it. The prices are reasonable and the items are beautiful. If you need a gift for someone you really like who likes pretty and colorful things this is where you go. Parking was easy and you could walk down the street to Dot's Back in for a treat. I'll return....very soon!
