    Reasonable priced bookstore with a large selection of both collegiate and classy items. They have…read moresome super fun finds in here and it's some of the best UVA merch I've seen.

    I need to get with it and write some UVa related reviews. In the past, I had a thing for UVa…read more With Monticello nearby, and its unique history, the Jeffersonian world made an impression on me. Part of it could have been that I began my college studies at a place where going to school in shorts, Hawaiian shirts, and flip flops most of the year was the norm. And it wasn't just the surfers who did that. In that regard, UVa was a definite counterpoint. I had also visited the campus and was quite taken with it. So, I would purchase things from this bookstore and have them sent to me, out to "the Coast." I'm talking coffee mugs and t-shirts. To have ordered license plate frames would have been disingenuous, so I didn't push things that far. I didn't get in to UVa for a graduate program to which I had applied. Perhaps you now better understand this mitigating behavior. I see reviewers weighing in on the prices of items, notably textbooks. That textbooks are high priced, and ridiculously priced, is a ubiquitous situation. It's like that everywhere. With the interwebs, one now has other options. Clothing and gifts are also always high priced. The best one can do is scour the store and look for discounted items. I was at UVa again and realized I hadn't been in possession of either UVa coffee mugs or UVa clothing for years. I reasoned that, to avoid postage and the headache of looking on line, I should buy a few things at the bookstore while there. I bought 2 coffee mugs and 2 t-shirts. The typical college bookstore is a likely candidate for 3 stars. However, the customer service at UVa stood out. A person initially helped me with locating apparel and pointing out some of the better values. I was then turned loose on the gift section, where I did a compare/contrast of which coffee mugs offered the best price-quality rapport. I found two. At this point, I needed to complete the purchase at a cash register. The woman working there was humorous and friendly, listened to my "story," and knew the mugs might see some bouncing around for some distance in the trunk. So she made sure she meticulously wrapped each mug and packaged them so they would make it home intact. They did! I'm not the only person who likes college paraphernalia. When I worked in downtown Atlanta, there was a lady on my floor whose cubicle was festooned with University of Georgia and Bulldogs items. I didn't know her, so I never asked her why. I did ask another employee: "Hey, what's with 'so and so,' and why is her cubicle plastered with University of Georgia stuff? Did she go there?" The employee I knew said, "No, she didn't go there. But she's a big UGa fan." I had some friends outside of work with whom we would discuss our respective jobs and just cut up. I told one friend, an Auburn University grad, about the lady at work whose cubicle was a shrine to the University of Georgia. She knew where I was going with this. And I added that she didn't even go there. She just nodded and laughed, explaining that, in the South, this can happen, saying, "We call them 'pickup truck alumni'." I bring this up because, as I was buying my items, it made we wonder if I was now a "pickup truck alumnus" of UVa. I did get a sheepskin somewhere else, though. So, if assigning stars by word count, I could use "pickup truck alumni," which would only make for 3 stars. I need to "find" that extra star, and that extra word. I can do it one of two ways. I can make pickup two words. That would be "pick up truck alumni." Or, if I didn't want to make pickup two words, I could just exclaim, "Pickup truck alumni ... Wahoo!"

    My boyfriends daughter loves fur coats and we saw this store's selection from the sidewalk and…read morewandered in to browse on a summer afternoon. They have a wide selection of furs and hats and a classic and classy open space with large floor-length mirrors and chairs and the majority of their coats hung on racks than span both walls on either side of the store. A friendly older lady greeted us and offered for us to try on anything we'd like. We obviously weren't going to purchase one but she easily said try on anything you like and see how it looks (some of the coats I saw were over $5,000). I was surprised by how friendly and welcoming they were and the easy demeanor of the owners inside. No pretense or judgement at all (with me in my lululemon workout clothes). If you're looking for a fur - this is the place to shop.

In 1938, Samuel Silverman opened his shop on Washington Avenue in Newport News, a few blocks from the shipyard. His inventory then consisted of 6 furs borrowed from his brother-in-law.Silverman Furs moved to Historic Hilton Village in 1976, and we have vastly expanded our inventory. But what hasnt changed is the Silverman familys tradition of expert personal service. Sam Silverman knew almost every one of his customers by name, and his son Louis followed in the Silverman legacy, often seeing the children of some of his fathers original customers coming back year after year. Now, Jason has joined the business, carrying on the Silverman name as the third generation.Few furriers anywhere can match the experience of the Silvermans.So, when you consider buying a fur, dont get wrapped up in hype. Come to Silverman Furs, and get wrapped up in tradition.

    I love this store and the staff here-always so friendly and kind! We find some treasure in here…read moreevery time we go. I found their prices overall reasonable-The clothing can be steep-but the sales racks have some pretty great deals. Love the presentation, love the conversations with the front desk ladies, and overall thankful for this joyful store!!!

    Absolutely wonderful store for kids! They have clothing (definitely high-end quality and price),…read morebut the huge draw for me is that they have such thoughtfully selected books that promote diversity and environmental stewardship. The books that you find there are so full of quality content, the type of books that help parents raise children with intentionality and teach kindness, empathy, and open-mindedness. The organization of the store is fun. When I went, there was a section for summer themed items and travel toys, STEM, dino toys and clothes, and more. I was truly wowed by the quality brands. You find brands like Haba and Usborne. I was particularly taken aback by all of the great Usborne stuff! I'm a major fan, and it's expensive to get that stuff shipped. The books end up being like $20, so it was nice to see them priced so reasonably here. I saw some great write and wipe books on letters, numbers, and math. There were some great sticker books (the type that teach), and I was able to snag a seek-and-find bug sticker book that teaches counting for like $8. It is incredibly engaging and effectively reinforces counting skills in a very fun way. Plus, it gives kids something to do with stickers that's fun and doesn't involve finding them all over your house. They also had some great quality Canadian brand of kids toys that I cannot remember, but good craft kits from them. Aside from the clothing, prices were quite reasonable, and the clothes, admittedly, were better quality than you see at typical kids stores. They were made like stuff used to be made. You know, like actually quality enough to pass down. I definitely plan to make this a regular stop for my birthday and Christmas shopping list. There are no yap yap toys, but pretty much kid-powered stuff that requires a brain to be actively engaged in creative thinking. My kind of stuff! Honestly, this store literally looks like what I would put in a kids store, if I created one myself, so I'm so happy to find that it exists. It is truly a magical place, as my fellow Yelper said. It really can't get much better. Please support this wonderful business. It is SO worth the drive, if you're out-of-town. If you have any doubts, just plan add a stop to the Discovery Museum for some great play and La Flor Michoacana for delicious ice cream, but you'll see that Whimsies alone is worth it.
