Holiday Shopping

It's the most wonderful time of the year in Lexington, Buena Vista, and Rockbridge County!

'Tis the season to shop the sweetest downtowns all dressed in the spirit of the season! Immaculate window displays, wreathed lamp posts, wonderful scents, and a crisp nip to your nose are greetings as you browse store to store.

The Village of Fairfield

Warm and toasty gifts await at The Quiltery. Choose from an array of fabrics, kits, notions, and of course, finished quilts. Antiquers will want to swing through 3 Seasons Antiques & Unique Treasures. You never know when a long-sought something will turn up right before your eyes.

Both The Quilitery and Brownsburg Museum are stops on the North Rockbridge Trail.

Downtown Buena Vista

Vinyl Cuts offers personalized creations, local souvenirs, and lovely gifts year 'round. You'll be surprised at what you'll find.

Coiner Country Store is an Amish stop for bulk candy, old fashioned jams, syrups, and plenty more. You'll be surprised to see the things that await: rocking chairs, towels, cutlery and kitchen supplies, soaps, locally made barbecue sauce, local honey ... you just need to go.

The BeeVe is your stop for "sweet souvenirs" in Buena Vista. Enjoy a scoop of ice cream and shop fun t-shirts, hoodies, beanies, stickers, Buena Vista themed items, notebooks, Southern Virginia University-inspired gifts, and more.

Downtown Lexington

For the hands-on recipient on your gift list, make a beeline for House Mountain Yarn Co., offering all of the needful things a knitter could want.

Those who are more hands-in will undoubtedly love what awaits at Ladles & Linens, Lexington's kitchen shoppe! Shenandoah Attic & Victorian Parlour and Lexington Mercantile also offer kitchen accoutrement, sauces, jellies, jams, oils, seasonings, and much more.

A block away, Chelsea Collections also offers gifts and items for the home, like garden flags, tea towels, glass goodies, and more.

Quirky gifts, jewelry, manly grooming supplies, and more await at Sugar Maple Trading Company. You'll adore their big windows; they go all out with a holiday display!

For rare or out of print finds for your favorite bookworm, head to The Bookery or The Historian's Books. Downtown Books also has an excellent collection, plus unique Lexington souvenirs. Game time is family time, and Lexington has a store specializing in just that: Just Games is your go-to for board games and more.

Beautiful handmade jewelry, fine art, wood turnings, and pottery can be found all over Lexington at places like Artists in Cahoots, Earth, Fire & Spirit Pottery, Cabell Gallery, and Nelson Fine Art Gallery.
