The gal inside warmly greeted me and I was left to browse on my own (just how I like it). I found all kinds of goodies in here - tumblers for drinks, chalky paint supplies for crafting and furniture refinishing, home decor, food items, clothes, holiday stuff, outdoor garden stuff. Whatever. If you're looking for a gift or something cute for yourself you can probably find it in here.

This is definitely not your standard tourist souvenir shop -- everything feels unique and thoughtfully chosen, with plenty of options that don't cost a fortune.

The gal inside was super friendly and welcoming offering suggestions for local businesses to try and making easy small-talk with me while I browsed the store.

My friends and I visited this adorable little boutique in November. While my friend and her husband…read morelooked around, I spotted earrings on the wall and made my way over. The young lady didn't make room for me to look, but hey, we're still kinda in the midst of COVID, so I made my way to an opposite wall where I looked at a shirt. It didn't have a price so I asked a second young lady, "How much?". She acted as though I was bothering her when she came over, looked at it, told me the price (without making any eye contact), and then went back behind the counter. That's when I noticed the first young lady, that was previously at the earrings, went behind the counter. The bell went off in my head, "oh she works here." It was at that moment, I said, "Let's go!" I realized they were both being rude and possibly didn't want "me" in the store. I was going to keep it to myself, but my friend said, "Wow she was rude." They must be raking in the bucks, so I'll spend my money somewhere else...and so will all my friends.

What a gem! We snuck in at the wire here with about 40 minutes to closing on Saturday last weekend…read morewhile exploring the Hilton Village area of Newport News. The owner inside was friendly and said come on in and take your time. She explained that they had different rooms inside and all were rented out to different vendors who had their own style and items for sale. WIN! Just my kind of shop. This shop is much larger than expected with something like 10 rooms inside and they all do have a very different feel. We found antiques, glasswares, books, stuffed animals, watercolor art, wall art, furniture, jewelry, beads, geodes, you name it, it's probably in here. We actually stayed for the entire 40 minutes and everyone found something to purchase. The vibe was easy and unassuming and the owner left us to browse without hovering at all. She easily said to go upstairs and take a look as there were some rooms up there too and she stayed at the front while we browsed. The side right off the main entry has a space where she said during summer she serves Lolly's ice cream flavors from the VAB area (noms). I saw easily like a dozen things I could've purchased but I'm trying to make better choices so I abstained, but if they're there when I come back to run a race in two weeks I'll call it fate and probably get them, ha! If you are in this area and looking for gifts and decor and love to antique, poke your head in here and give this spot a try for sure. It looks almost like a plant store from the outside as the front has a grown-up secret garden look.

Such a neat shop!…read more Basically people rent out sections in this little house to showcase their products. It's all local and items are either handmade or vintage. It was really awesome going into each room of the house and seeing what products there were being offered. There were pillows, decor, clothing, vintage items of all kinds, vinyl records, jewelry, etc. I guess you could say it's kind of like a flea market in a sense. Definitely a great place for unique finds or gifts!

After visiting Colonial Williamsburg, I took my parents to a local nostalgic place called…read moreWilliamsburg General Store, it's a family owned shop that was filled with snit snat items, apparels, variety of sweet treats, flags, retro toys, hot sauces, specialty soaps, jellies, plush animals and much much more. Also they have a homemade ice cream cafe in the rear of the store called Bigfoot's Ice Cream Shack (formerly Bubba's). All ice cream is made in house with unique flavors such as strawberry cheesecake, pistachio almond, peachy peach, southern blackberry cobbler, orange swirl and many more. There's option from cups, waffle cones, shakes and sundaes. I try their southern blackberry cobbler, peachy peach and salted caramel brownie. They all have their own unique flavors but the blackberry cobbler was creamy, smooth and delicious. All their staff are amazingly friendly, knowledgeable and patient. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely make another visit to get some gifts since holidays are approaching and can't leave until I try other flavors of their homemade treats. They also have outside seatings too.
