This is a perfect stop for anyone looking for that special little gift or trinket for a friend or loved one. Additionally, and secretly (because I'm selfish when it comes to books), they have a small but selection of old but interesting books scattered throughout the store...don't tell anyone else. I didn't catch her name but the lady who works the desk is extremely welcoming and helpful as well. You need a decretive piece of wood art with a snappy little quip about wine or alcohol, they've got it. Perhaps you want something that displays your or someone you knows patriotic fervor, it's here. Or you may like a new dish or two as a centerpiece that strikes up conversation at your next get together, well then, you guessed it, it's waiting for you. There's no reason not to check this place out. Have some brunch at the Secret Garden Cafe then take a foot-tour of this amazing town, and pop in to see this place in all its glory. Enjoy!

Nice gifts from leather goods, candles, soaps, jewelry, books, stationary, kids clothing, greeting cards, etc. The establishment is a great size, and the customer service is on point.

I loved both of my purchases and can't wait to return back to support even more.

We were visiting Occoquan on a Monday and just happened to venture into this store and we're glad we did! My wife and I are expecting our first child and Gift and Gather had a really cute selection of onesies, bibs, small dolls, etc. When we entered the store, we were quickly greeted and welcomed into the store. Parking was easy and they had street parking right out front. Aside from cute baby stuff, they also had handmade/locally sourced soaps, gifts, shirts, etc. They had some items featuring dogs and things like that. They had a selection of fine tea and also really nice shaving/razor sets for men. Some really great gift ideas. As we finished up our visit and checked out the lady made some nice lunch suggestions, other stores she liked, and events coming up in Occoquan. She also did a really nice job of wrapping our purchase and tissue paper and a nice bag --a huge plus if you're shopping for a gift. We will definitely visit Gift & Gather next time we're in Occoquan! I added some photos (note they are from the business's Facebook page).

There was a note inside the glass cupboard which read something like this "take any book you like, read it and return with a note included for the next reader." I was delighted! I felt like congratulating the owner for such a wonderful idea of sharing books. Growing up reading, books have been my closest companions since I could remember. This place would def be frequented by me. Equally charming were the many antique pieces set up ever so cutely in the shop with price tags (super affordable) on them! I found my new fave vintage shop! And if you love vintage/antique shops like I do, def check this gem of a place out!

After going through the first section, we entered the second and were about to continue into the final part when an employee unexpectedly stopped us. I was told I needed to leave because I had "touched the talent." This accusation surprised me -- it simply didn't happen. The area was pitch black, and I held onto my friend's arm to stay together, not reaching for or guiding anyone else. Regardless, we didn't want to cause a scene and decided to leave quietly. I wanted to share this because the situation was confusing and disappointing. We were really looking forward to the full experience and left feeling unfairly treated. DO NOT RECOMMEND

I especially enjoyed hearing his stories and learning about his deep love for Persian carpets--I even ended up purchasing one for my dinning room. The quality and pricing were unbeatable. Highly recommend!

The two men who fulfilled the installation of my shutters & shades were so polite, efficient, neat & tidy, and overall did a great job. They worked quickly and finished a couple hours before I thought they would which was a very pleasant surprise. I've had my shutters & shades for a little over three weeks now and I'm very happy with the products & process. I'd recommend Budget Blinds.
