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!

The owners are sweet and helpful in answering any questions about items. I finally visited the store with a friend of mine who was in search of a Labubu, yes they are authentic, and they have a ton in stock. She got her Labubu for $60 and the clothes for them were about $20+ I believe. Prices range anywhere from $3 on up and more on select items. A great spot for gifts as they have t-shirts, slippers, stationeries, Sonny Angels, Sanrio, croc charms, plushies, peeker stickers, and tons more. They have a lot of items, so plan on making a day out of it to look at the shelves from top to bottom. Be ready to splurge because I sure was!

Located in a small strip mall area, this store has a mixture of Sanrio, K-pop, and Korean items…read more The Sanrio items are a bit overpriced but you can't blame them when competing with major online stores. I was happy my daughter bought a few things from here to support a local business. They also have a selection of Korean beauty products and medicinal herbs. The customer service was great and they packed my daughter's items carefully in a cute bag.

We struck up great conversation and they are truly wonderful people who aim to help others through a variety of charitable acts.They made the most beautiful gift baskets for my women's organization's events and they were such a pleasure to work with. The baskets were gorgeous, Peggy is so talented with the custom work and the prices were AMAZING!!!!!! Additionally, they were champions for our winter coat drive and collected a ton of coats for people in need. The shop is a treat and they have the most gorgeous accessories around (not as pricey as some of the other places in the mall). One of a kind pieces, original gifts, and cheerful management is what you will find at this Hampton gem!

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.

If you love nautical, beach themed goods, this is the helm of the Yorktown area! I wouldn't steer you wrong!
