“I am amazed at the level of personal service The Old Town Shop provided when a friend's gift of beautiful cherry blossom bags was stolen from my front porch. Valerie went out of her way, when she saw that the package had been delivered but then stolen from my porch. She ordered the replacement and got it re-delivered with a lovely note card. And I love the beautiful cherry blossom bags! Although I live in Bethesda, I will make a point of visiting The Old Town Shop when I am in the neighborhood.”

“I love Simon Pearce and have been collecting some their beautiful items for years. I've had amazing experiences with their Alexandria store.The shop in Alexandria VA has wonderful people working there. They are friendly, professional and very efficient. Their customer service is exceptional. They go above and beyond!”
“Shop Made in VA hosted one of my bachelorette activities and it was a wonderful experience. Ella was a pleasure to work with when it came to planning and finding an activity. She's was quick to respond and answered any questions. The rest of the Shop Made in VA team was just as great.
We decided to go with a flower pressing class with Hailey from Wildry and it was so much fun. Hailey educated us about the flower pressing process and different compositions when designing our pieces. They were so helpful and a great host.
I'm excited to come back and try some of their other classes!”
“Felicia and Victoria were very helpful! Took the time to explain and recommend all snacks that I might enjoy ! If you have the chance stop in and try something do so!! Chips and candy and cookies you’ve never seen before!!”
“Very fun store to visit. Nice selection of jewelry, crafts, and knickknacks. A great place to look for gifts. Also, weirdly a good selection of coffee, tea, and cocoa. All of those are covered by a rewards program if you go regularly. The spicy cocoa is particularly tasty.”
“On our annual anniversary trek to Alexandria my wife and I hit the shops, particukarly for the grandkids. Happy Place caught our eye and Anneliese made the experience incredible. Besides help with gifts she was a wealth of info regarding Christmas happenings in Old Town. Hope the owners appreciates the gem they have working for them. Stop by and indulge. Take in the beautiful scenery along the way.”
“This great gift shop has a small high end consignment section, where you can find fine china, crystal and silver and items like Herend mini figs. They have a fantastic selection of gifts and it's my go-to for the holidays and birthday presents for those hard to shop for as well as unique items. Some of my favorite seasonal decor is from this store! The staff is incredibly friendly and always wrap my purchases so nicely for gifts.”

“I had the edible arrangement sent as a gift and the delivery guy, Bobby, had trouble with the physical address. He went above and beyond to get my gift to the recipient. When she couldn’t pick it up at the store, he made a special attempt and re-delivered the gift. I am thrilled with the service!”

“Passionately Pets provided excellent walking services on our recent vacation. Our sitter, Jeff, was courteous and seemed confident in his ability to handle our sometimes obstreperous 95 lbs German Shepherd. Unlike other walking services we have used, Jeff actually walked our dog for most of the 30 minute visit. Would definitely recommend.”
