best vintage store in Richmond. Totally a throw back to lower east side vintage in the 80's. It is that good. Plus they have a lot of product that is not vintage. Sunglasses, hats, locally made stuff. I can't believe someone said they had bad customer service. They are the cutest and most helpful of anywhere. Go for Christmas gifts!
Pros: playing dress up
Cons: only one of them

I love small businesses so when on the lookout for healthy options I frequent Ellwood Thompsons -- somehow they manage to have fair prices, great selection, a wonderful atmosphere and do it all with only the one storefront. Ellwood Thompsons is located in at the beginning of Cary Street so you can relax and spend your day out after having a real healthy snack or you can drop in for groceries. Rest assured that what you find will be the healthiest available items.

I've never been in a chocolate store that carries the breadth and depth of chocolate! They even make their own. I could have spent most of the day there, poring over each and every piece of chocolate and candy. This is a MUST for any chocolate and candy lover. I'll be back next time I visit Richmond!
Pros: All the chocolate that's fit to eat
Cons: Lacking Butler's Irish

I found out about this store from a bridal show, and I fell in love with one of their dresses! They have an amazing selection and the people are friendly and not at all snobbish, unlike most bridal stores in the area. It is family run and you don't need an appointment, which is very helpful. In other stores, I felt like I had committed a crime if I didn't have an appointment, but not here! Downside is they are not as organized as some stores, and this is not the place if you want personalized attention, such as a salesperson to dress you. But if you are like me, and are just as happy to have help from a friend or family member, definitely give this place a try! They were also willing to work with me, as I had special requests for the dress, and they made very helpful suggestions. Highly recommended.
Pros: Friendly, no appointment needed
Cons: not much personal service

This place has the zaniest things imaginable! I love it! They have almost nothing that I have seen in any other area toy store, yet they have it all! I know it sound strange, but it's true. They have the oddest toys ever. On my last visit, I picked up a handheld thumb-wrestling ring which just happened to be the perfect gift, and I've decided that this would be one of my first stops for gift shopping! Everything that comes from this place is guaranteed to put a smile on someone's face.

What to say about this amazing place... I've shopped here since it was a teeny tiny store near VCU. This is what a toy store should be- helpful employees, great toys, and lots of space to play! The selection is unlike any you've ever seen- from infant to adult (not in the nasty adult way). You can literally find a gift for your baby and your grandma in one visit. They have unique clothes for babies and kids (some tees for adults). Good book selection, awesome puppets, crafts, games, dress up- you name it. There are things here you just won't find any place else. Funky, campy and soo much fun! If you come to Carytown you'd be crazy to not stop at World of Mirth.
Pros: unique and fun, bring the family
Cons: parking can be tough if you can't parallel park

This is my new favorite Christmas store!!! I am from New Jersey and "happened upon" Lane Sanson on a trip to Richmond in December. What an incredible selection of Christmas decorations! I bought as much as I thought I could get home with me on the plane, and then looked for comparable things when I got home - but many of their items are so unique I couldn't find them elsewhere. I go to the Fan House Tour every December and a stop at this store will always be part of every future visit. Go there - you'll love it!!!!
Pros: Great selection of unique items
Cons: No website!!

My matron of honor and I went shopping at Jingles today and found the boutique very impressive!! Not only were we able to browse the bridesmaid gowns at our own discretion, but we were helped every single step of the way. We had a blast with the associate who was helping us, she actually played a very significant role in our experience. She was very helpful and knowledgeable, but more importantly, you could tell that she loves what she does and goes above and beyond to make sure that your time is well spent. I recommend Jingles to any bride in the metro area, don't drive to DC, you'll find everything you're looking for at this boutique-and if you can't find it, they will find it for you! We found some wonderful dresses at great prices-$200 and up-we can't wait to get back in the store and try more on!
Pros: Knowledgeable, honest, great space for trying gowns on with great lighting
Cons: None
