Lynnhaven Mall: Mall Shopping

by Astrobuck

This was a mall I used to go to when I was stationed in Virginia. When I arrived, I had NO civilian clothes, so I came here to buy a pair of jeans,a few t-shirts, and some shoes. There are many stores here, including a large pefume shop for your girlfriend/wife to jump into; and a Dick's sporting goods store for all the guys. There is also a movie theatre here as well.Hours:Monday-Thursday: 10:00am-9:30pm Friday-Saturday: 10:00am-10:00pm Sunday: 12:00pm-6:00pm Department store, restaurant, and theatre hours may vary.

The Haversack Store: Richmond - Take a piece of history home

by matcrazy1

The Haversack Store is located inside the modern building of the Museum of the Confederacy, just right of the entrance. I was impressed with the things offered there, all in a small space. It was real paradise for fans of history and the Civil War. Well, being at the beginning of quite expensive trip I didn't buy anything there but I see the store online here now. - apparel (museum t-shirts, hats, ties)- books related to the Civil War and museum publications,- flags of the Confederacy,- gifts (statues, mugs, patches, pocket watches, plates)- military items (swords, gauntlets, belt buckles, hats, pistols)- multimedia (CD Rom, videotapes, cassettes)- prints posters (signed prints, maps)- stationary (note cards)- toys (cannons, soldiers, kepis, children's books).Details in my Richmond shopping tips. From a few bucks to... hundreds. Generally prices were not that high as in some other...

Natural Bridge Gift Shop: They sell Virginia's hospitality :-)

by matcrazy1

It's one of the largest gift stores I have seen in the USA. It offers various gifts, souvenirs, toys, apparel and home decor. A large classical building of the store was decorated before incoming Halloween. Inside I was again a bit surprised when I saw Christmas decorations sold in the middle of October. Well, it's not that rare in the USA. I paid attention to casual T-shirts with writings Natural Bridge Virginia and "I am a nature wonder" (for kids) and "Old as dirt". I liked some local food like jars of local homemade jams, especially pecan jam (we don't have pecans in Poland) as well as jam called "Virginia's Hospitality", haha what a name for jam! :-) There are also Virginia's peanuts packed in old-fashionable metal cans. Well, I would buy some "Virginia's hospitality" but I experienced enough hospitality in Virginia, for free. I always look at prices of casual T-shirts to judge...

Luray Caverns gift shops: Virginia wine and gifts

by matcrazy1

As I remember well there are three shops at Luray Caverns: - the Country Store which offers some handicraft souvenirs,- two gift shops in the Entrance Building and in the Car and Carriage Caravan offering gifts , books, CDs etc. related to the place as well as Virginia wine.In the Entrance Building I've paid attention to beautiful and large stone fireplace. I didn't buy anything but I thought over buying some interesting CDs or books on the cars displayed in the Car and Carriage Caravan Museum. It's likely I would buy some Virginia wine but I already did it in Jefferson's Winery in Charlottesville. To my surprise (especially after a visit to Smithsonian Museums in Washington, DC) the prices are reasonable, for example $7 - $11 for a bottle of local Virginia wine.

Potomac Mills Mall: Potomac Mills Mall

by b1bob

Potomac Mills is a giant outlet mall conveniently located along Interstate 95 in Woodbridge, Virginia (about 30 minutes south of Washington, DC). The most prominent stores here include Ikea, Books-a-Million, Marshall's, Off 5th (Sak's 5th Avenue Outlet), Burlington Coat Factory, T.J. Maxx, L.L. Bean, and Nordstrom Rack. There are also such entertainment venues as the AMC Potomac Mills (an 18 screen movie house) and Van's Skate Park. There is an ample food court in the middle of the mall nearest the Burlington Coat Factory. en español, en français, em português With this kind of store lineup what is not to buy?UPDATE: I will no longer buy anything at this mall or any other by the same management (Simon Group) because they evicted a tenant based on the content of his store and applied this standard only to this vendor. If you're interested, write me an e-mail for more details. Well, you...

The Valley Mall: Economical branded clothing

by Faiza-Ifrah

We shopped like crazy at the Mall for one good reason - prices. The clothes and dresses were great quality for even greater sales that were going on in all the department stores.We were told that Canadians used to come in droves to shop in the Mall, but this trend has reduced during this summer. Women, men and children clothing, apparel, jewellery and other products. Sky is certainly the limit money wise, but the clothes are economical.

Shoppe Five: Vera Bradley collection is pleasing

by Faiza-Ifrah

This shop features the entire Vera Bradley collection, including luggage, stationary, rugs,a nd tabletop.I visited this store for buying unique gifts for family friends back home, as well as to pamper myself. Ladies purses, table sheets, sleeper shoes - all kind of home stuff designed by Vera Bradley. Prices were generally high, but some gift items were economically priced.

Piney Mountain Gifts: Unique not, but souvenirs yes

by Faiza-Ifrah

This shop was a great place to find gifts for back home. However, we found that it did not have any souvenirs showing local stuff that can be kept as memento. The shop claims that lots of new and interesting items arrive at the store daily. Indeed it acrries gifts of all sorts.I bought a nice hanging carousal for entrance to my home. This shop carries many gifts, but not showing local art or craft on them. Prices were reasonable. Gift items can be bought for friends back home.

Olde Towne Tobacconist: Fredericksburg Cigar Shop

by Highbrae

In addition to a great selection from the humidors, a friendly staff and some great accessories. The Olde Towne Tobacconist offers cigar smokers a sitting room in the back where cigar smokers can enjoy a relaxing smoke in a world where cigar smokers have become outcasts. I found the staff patient and helpful. Whatever your taste in cigars, except sadly Cuban cigars which are still banned in the USA.

Stars and Stripes Forever: Americana

by b1bob

Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, Stars and Stripes Forever has what you are looking for. All manner of patriotic and political gifts plus military items. The one pictured was at Patriot Plaza in Williamsburg, but that location closed in 2007. The only one left that I know of is in Yorktown. Those of y'all who know me best which side of the political fence I'm on. I bought a shirt and several buttons along those lines.
