The Christmas Shop

The Christmas Shop Delighting visitors and locals since 1961, The Christmas Shop is the oldest holiday shop on the East Coast. Open every day EXCEPT Christmas

Our selection, curated over 6 decades, features unique ornaments and collectibles from regional, American and international artisans. The Christmas Shop is well known for regional ornaments, especially representing Colonial Williamsburg and Virginia, but we also have items from other Mid-
Atlantic and Southern designers. We are one of Byers' Choice oldest distributors, and our Byers' collection is

always fabulous! Chief among our international specialties are our Russian carved figures, Russian Matryoshka nesting dolls and German Smokers (yes, we have incense for the Smokers!). Our Olde World painted glass ornament collection is the largest in the region. We also carry many international small artisan design houses:
Carved from olive wood which has been harvested in Bethlehem
Vietnamese inlaid wood
Egyptian Museum blown and etched glass
Authentic Imperial Cloisonne from China

If you have a favorite pet, sport, hobby, musical instrument or holiday story . . . we have the perfect ornament for your tree or your collection!

The staff of the Christmas Shop want to share with you their favorite holiday ornaments and goodies. So each week we will have one of our staff share their favorites in what we call our "Staff Picks". First up we have Christina!

I love this! Not easy choices; because I love everything in The Christmas Shop!

My favorite items we have had in stock are the Gingerbread inspired Russian Santa that looks like you could just take a bite from AND the Periwinkle Jewlery Collection
Gingerbread Men earings.

So fun! I already have the Periwinkle Collection Gingerbread House earings I also wear as pins!

My favorite new items are the Birthday Cake Angel that looks like a piece of Birthday Cake AND the snowy, icy, Norwegian skiing Gnome carring a wreath!

Here at the Christmas Shop we are very lucky to have locally, hand made items you can not find anywhere else!

We at the Christmas Shop LOVE it when field trip groups come through our door. This amazing group from the Bonita Springs, FL Middle School came in with positivity, energy, and questions. It's groups like them that bring a smile to our faces no matter the day. Our manager, Ashley Waters, was lucky enough to have a picture taken with them! When they sent this picture in, there was no other option but to display it. We love all our customers so much!
