Old Town Alexandria Gift Guide

All of our family lives out of the DC area, so we love bringing gifts from Old Town Alexandria.  I’m always scrambling at the last minute though and trying to remember what I found where.  To solve this I went exploring on a recent day off and struck gold!

1. AR Workshop Alexandria 107 N. Fairfax Alexandria, VA 22314

This Boutique DIY studio has a great selection of ready to purchase Alexandria themed gifts such as pillows, coffee mugs, and wine tumblers.  Love the “Tipsy in the 22314” ones! Be sure to check out their awesome chalk clipboard events calendar while you are there.

2. Alexandria Visitor Center 221 King Street Alexandria, VA 22314

Right next to AR Workshop is the Alexandria Visitors Center in the historic Ramsey house.  They sell gifts such as koozies, totes and Virginia Peanuts.  This group also branded the amazing Instagram hashtag “extraordinaryALX”.  The staff here is so friendly!

3. The Old Town Shop 105 S. Union Street Alexandria, VA 22314

You can’t do a gift guide post without mentioning this place!  This was actually my first time at Old Town Shop and I couldn’t get over how many gift options there are.  I especially like their selection of local food such as honey, steak sauce, and spice rubs. They even have an adorable kiddie corner so this is a great pit stop.

4. Reunions 1709 Centre Plaza Alexandria, VA 22302

I have religiously shopped at Reunions for years.  Baby shower gifts, kids birthday gifts, 30 year old birthday gifts, etc.  Such one of a kind and reasonably priced items.  They also have a few Alexandria theme gifts even though they are not in the heart of old town.  My own Mother has an Alexandria pillow in her Texas living room.  Happy shopping!
