Bruton Parish Book & Gift Shop

This is a great little shopped tucked in the beautiful historic Colonial Williamsburg, VA area. It's a small, cozy and adorable small shop with a big heart and helping hands and a FREE Museum too!!The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful! I had the pleasure of unexpectedly meeting and speaking with John Fogarty, Burton Parish Church Comptroller, who readily gave me some insight on some of the items displayed in the museum and made me excited to visit their Church too.You are sure to find something unique in this store and the profits are used to do great work for communities.YES!!! I do recommend them to my family, friends, friends or friends and, NOW, the World too!!

All things Bruton Parish Church you can think of as a souvenir, or gift. The Bruton Parish Church is 1.5 blocks away. This store is in a brick building and has great signage. 100% of funds go to community outreach. Over 2 million to date has been given to various charities.Very nice quality items such as books, jewelry, throws and cards in this small shop. The volunteer staff phenomenal. The church offices are located in the rear. Make this a must do when strolling DOG street.

While we have been to Bruton Parish church many times, (it's my favorite thing on DOG Street by far) currently the church is closed for tourist visitation due to the installation of their new organ. With that in mind I figured I would finally make the big one block walk down to the gift shop to see what they've got shakin'.The scene would best be described as part hospital gift shop meets a Hallmark store for the 70 and over crowd. So many little trinkets and nick-knacks everywhere. Also noteworthy is that while the shop has an excellent mission, the prices here are very steep. Deals you will not find and some of the clothing that they're selling has never been seen in public since the Golden Girls was cancelled. Dorthy Zbornak would have had a field day in here.In the back of the building is a small chapel which is very respectfully laid out even if it was odd walking by tables of "discounted" Christmas things right by the entrance.I bought my obligatory Bruton Parish fridge magnet ($7!) and had a nice talk with the one volunteer at the register about the current organ project and a few rumored things happening in the near future. She was really a great ambassador for their brand and truly showed that this is a living-breathing-vibrant Episcopal church.I'm not really a retail person so I doubt I'll be back but if you are into trinkets or curiosities then this place might be for you and at the least it's worth the short trip away from the CW buildings on DOG Street.

Nice little Parrish gift shop found just outside of Colonial Williamsburg. There is a little something for everyone in there. There is a nice small chapel to pause in the middle of sight seeing or shopping.

Good selection of both secular and religious gifts and tchotchkes. Excellent service - I told them I was purchasing gifts and they included complimentary tissue paper and boxes. The volunteers were friendly and a little crotchety but they are volunteers!

Beautiful gifts, books & so many miscellaneous items of wide price range.In other words, there's something for everyone and everything high quality. Very convenient whether strolling the street or searching for a shop for that perfect gift. Also, ordering online service is excellent--everything packaged carefully and arrives when expected/promised.
