Held a 1.5 hour birthday party for a group of 2-5 year olds here on a Saturday morning on the…read morerecommendation of a staff member at our child care center. Lazy Daisy staff was helpful, patient, and kind! Party room was spacious and cheery, and not fancy, so no worries about what young kids might do in the space. Plenty of tables and chairs for a group of 10 kids plus parents--had two sets of tables so we could do ceramics on one, have extra activities (paper crowns to decorate, coloring pads, blank cards, fossil excavation kit) on the other for those who finished painting early, and then could have cake at the first table once the ceramics were cleared away. They let us store our ice cream cake from Kirt's in their freezer till it was time, and even helped us find plates and forks, which we forgot to pack. (Fortunately there is a nearby gas station with sundries.) They are a small business, so cash/check is preferred (wish I had remembered to bring a checkbook). We did a "test run" painting some small items in the drop-in studio with the two birthday celebrants a week before the party, which worked well so they felt familiar with the venue and activity--if you can manage it I'd recommend that too. In theory the room can handle up to 50, but I'd say our group of ~25 was perfect for the space. Would warmly recommend this place to any parents seeking alternatives to Little Gym, Carver Rec, and Discovery Museum birthday parties for this age group!

You choose your colors, sit down and go to town! They fire it up and it takes up to a week to be able to pick up. We are still awaiting the final products but we had a lot of fun painting them! It was a bit pricy bc you pay for the piece as well as the studio fee so we paid close to $60 for the 2 pieces we painted but it was a special occasion so worth it :)

They also ship gifts, which I LOVE! and shipping local is free and within the US is free for purchases over $50! Small businesses rock, and I especially love this one!!

Everyone there was so happy and welcoming and we already can't wait to return the next time we are in need of a gift! Basketful has great items for anyone on your list from welcoming a neighbor, to sips and sits, children's gifts, traveling gifts, pets, and more! They will even create baskets from afar to serve people in our local #cville area! This could be your parents who don't want to send you money, or friends who know you may be getting married who can't attend. The gifting possibilities are endless! Of course we HAD to pick up some items of our own and these were some of our favorites which was hard enough to narrow down! Here's what we brought home today! 1. Flip Vase! Choose your own cute plants to put in this mini flipable notepad! The pages/vases change on each page and the mini vase holds water! 2. Dual candle with cactus and mango leaf scents! The candles smell amazing and I plan to reuse this as decor for another planter when the candles are done! 3. Picnic or throw blanket with the cutest combination of colors! I loved the theme we choose for our items! 4. Incense by YUYA NO SHIZUKU in the fragrance Water Dragon from Japan.

Build a bear in general is expensive but it's a great place to give someone a good experience and something that will give them good memories. They're also very accommodating for children and make the experience fun for them as well!

I never went as a child and had no idea what to expect. I was so pleased to have Jason there to walk us through the process and make each of my kids feel so special and invested in their new birthday bears. He took them through an adorable heart ceremony that they are both still talking about, followed by giving their new bears baths, choosing accessories (I appreciated that he didn't try to upsell me), and naming their bears - complete with birth certificates! Then each was packaged in a cardboard house/box that they had fun decorating at home. What a fun outing and great activity for kids!

I also picked up a pair of super boho silver and leather earrings that I've gotten tons of compliments on since I've worn them endlessly! I also love the assortment of teas and picked up a couple pouches for my tea time! My friends and I enjoyed the humorous tea towels, cute signs, and and inspiring artwork! We were impressed with the aesthetically designed displays and loved spending time roosting in this nest! If you are in the Staunton area, take a gander! The prices aren't "cheep", but the quality is totally worth it!
