Hi! I need to get a gift for a couple in their late ‘70’s (who really don’t “need” a thing). A friend suggested a Richmond jigsaw puzzle, which I thought was a great idea, but I can’t seem to find one on short notice. (I need for tomorrow.)

Does anyone have an idea where I might find something like that (VMFA shop is sold out), or anything else that might be a good idea? Thanks in advance for your help!

Beasties in Carytown! Their whole back part of the store is devoted to RVA goodies and local artist contributions:)

The Library of Virginia has a nice gift shop. I bought some Virginia themed gifts there last Christmas.

You're welcome. Not sure what their stock is like after Christmas...

The shop at The Jefferson also has RVA themed "things" that make my 85 yr old grandmother happy
