I've visited a couple of times and purchased multiple items and refilled numerous containers already and will continue to do so. She's always so helpful with advice and has background knowledge on each company/vendor she works with as far as their efforts to reduce and reuse too. I brought in my Costco sized laundry detergent container but discovered that next time, I'll only need a smaller one (she has a community glass container station if you need one) since they are concentrated and you only need about 1.5 table spoons per load of the earth conscious detergent! I also purchased dishwasher detergent powder, deodorant, washable facial pads, mouthwash tablets, lip butter, charcoal toothpaste tablets and beard balm for my hubby. There is so much in store and on her website. She also has been really involved in community engagement within Cville and it's great to see her friendly face at events!

I was impressed with the size of this toy store and excited to see that they carry many of my favorite toy brands like Folkmantis, Calico Critters and Ravensberger puzzles. They had a lot of fun sounding games I hadn't heard of as well. Aside from high quality toys and puzzles Shenanigans also had some really nice seasonal stuff like Advent calendars. My husband and I explored for quite awhile and finally landed on a Jellycat branded stuffed animal for a friend. For such a lovely store I would have expected there to be a little bit more in the way of service. For the fifteen minutes we spent in there the only acknowledgement we received was three words when we checked out - twenty-three seventeen. Maybe the employee was just having a hard day.

She is super responsive, has fantastic ideas, and is always willing to help you create the perfect gift! I really like their selection- there's so much to choose from to make that perfect gift. The store is so cute, and I loved seeing all the creative things I could add to make the perfect gift! 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.

They have a bunch of cute, kitschy Virginia-themed gifts as well as lots of varying seasonal decor/gifts. Plus they have historically-themed gifts and items to buy as souvenirs from your visits to Michie Tavern/Monticello or to bring a history buff as a gift. I just like looking around shops like this where every space has a different item, so everywhere you look there's something to see and you can make several loops around the place and feel like you haven't seen it all. They also have some old-fashioned (and not) candy for buying in jars if you wanted to make yourself a sweetie bag for the road. Upstairs there is a year-long christmas shop full of traditional christmas decorations and ornaments etc, and there are some really nice things up there if you're one of those people who think of Christmas year-round, or if you know someone who does.
