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!

We loved this shop. They have handmade gifts from local artists. There's also a maker space in the back. We're from out of town and bought a watercolor of the Lincoln memorial, some cherry blossom memorabilia, stickers and a journal. We highly recommend!

This is my go-to spot for gifts because you get a great candle or bag of coffee or pair of earrings, but also a story along with it.

This place exemplifies fantastic customer service and true support for small businesses. Recently, I shipped a custom candle order from my Chicago-based studio to Alexandria. Unfortunately, during transit, the package was tampered with, and several candles were removed. The candles were intended as gifts for a luncheon the following day, leaving my customer understandably upset.
With time running out and from states away, I reached out to several places in Alexandria, hoping to find someone who could help replace the missing items. Shop Made in VA - Alexandria was incredible. They quickly identified similar items at a comparable price and, remarkably, even offered to hand-deliver the candles to the customer’s hotel. Rachel, who helped me, was fantastic—her kindness and dedication made all the difference.
Gems like this place, with people like Rachel, deserve to thrive, and that’s only possible when we all support them by shopping, buying, and recommending. If I’m ever in Alexandria, I’ll absolutely stop by this shop—and I encourage everyone else to do the same!

I was the recipient of a love gift from their store. I have NOT been inside their brick-and-mortar, but I can say that their products' quality were great! I was very appreciative of the gift from my friend who sent it. I received some sugar cubes, drink syrup, and cookies. I have already used all of the sugar cubes that were rose petal infused. The syrup we received from the local shop's website was perfect for martinis, and the cookies were quickly consumed upon arrival of the package. Shop Made in Virginia specializes in items locally made throughout VA. They have everything in one location, providing a single-stop shop for all things Virginia. You can order items from their website, making it even more convenient to combine items from different places versus just ordering directly from the distributor and having items show up at someone's door individually. They offer food, jewelry, art, prints, bath + beauty items, along with much more. It is worth checking out in-person or online!

This shop is my go-to for finding the perfect gift! I love supporting local makers, and all of the inventory is great quality. It's also a fun shop to bring out of town guests to as there is often a variety of VA and DC themed merch that make great souvenirs. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Lovely store highlighting local Virginia makers. I've been in a few times, it's a great place to find some local art for yourself or as a gift. I recently went in, purchased a picture of old town for a gift. The art was beautiful and although it depicted well known Alexandria buildings, it didn't say Old Town on it. I asked the employees if they would be willing to write old town on it (because I have terrible penmanship). They very graciously agreed and it came out beautifully. I am eternally thankful! I highly recommend going to the store for great items and the fabulous employees. Thank you!!
