Illuminate your home with our handmade soy candles, made right here in our Occoquan studio. Samantha at Painted Palettes, DC based artist, captures twelve stunning landscapes of her favorite places in Washington DC in this modern and clean watercolor wall calendar. The calendar measures 11x17 and has durable, thick calendar pages for each month with ample space to write in.
It is packaged in a compostable bag to protect from moisture. The wire at the top allows for hanging on mulitple sized hooks and the paper is thick and ink will not bleed through. We spend our time carefully seeking and developing products that fit a simple criteria: they need to be durable, quality made, and have a simplistic, sustainable and ethical approach.

My BFF received her gift and was completely blown away. It was a nice birthday surprise. When we visited your lovely store, she fell in love with the earrings, but for some reason did not purchase them. She talked about the earrings off and on all the way home from Virginia to Florida and how she regretted not buying them. Thank you for finding the exact earrings she wanted and getting them to her so promptly. Your customer service is exemplary.

Visited recently and unfortunately I will not be back. I love the Occoquan area and have never had any issues with shops there, in fact everyone else has been lovely. This shop was different. No one greeted me or said anything to me the whole time I browsed in the store (15+ minutes) despite me making eye contact with people who worked there and I gave a little wave. Also I saw other well-dressed customers receive better treatment. Clearly they think I'm not wealthy enough to shop there or something (I was dressed very casually.) I put aside money for a gift for a friend and probably would

One of my favorite stores to shop in Occoquan. They sell different categories of items from homemade cards, ceramic dishes, jewelry and more all created by different local artists. They also sell items like baby onesies, purses, drink mixers, key chains, and eco friendly hygiene products. It's a super cool store that has such a wide range of items I'm always surprised and walking out with something new. A great spot for birthday and Christmas shopping which is a plus with the season fast approaching!!

I ordered a Mother's Day gift from here and they delivered it timely and my mother loved it! The flowers were beautiful, unique, and fresh and the candles and chocolate were top tier as well. Additionally, when reaching out to the store they were prompt to answer any questions and very kind. Will definitely be using them again for any other gifting!

No stars (but had to put ONE or it wouldn't post). Worst customer service EVER. I placed two orders a month ago and received an email confirmation and the next day another email that the items were ready to ship. They still have not shipped despite repeated email contact. I would speak to them via the phone, but there is no answer and the mailbox is full. Frustration is to put it mildly.

I attended a beginning watercolor class held at gift and gather. The atmosphere was great. I thought the class was priced well, and I felt I got great value from the class. I felt the owner was interested in not only supporting the community and arts in general but also was interested in improving or offering different things to cater to their customers. The shop has really unique items and it fits in perfectly with the occoquan community. It's a must visit while in town.

If you have never visited Occoquan, VA, you really should. It's a beautiful little town and has dining options right on the riverfront.
We were visiting Occoquan on a Monday and just happened to venture into this store and we're glad we did! My wife and I are expecting our first child and Gift and Gather had a really cute selection of onesies, bibs, small dolls, etc.
When we entered the store, we were quickly greeted and welcomed into the store. Parking was easy and they had street parking right out front.
Aside from cute baby stuff, they also had handmade/locally sourced soaps, gifts
