Always an excellent shopping experience here! The customer service & products for sale are unparalleled.
I replenish my supply of coffee from this place fortnightly. Its a local non-profit that shares Ten Thousand Villages branding. They carry an ever-changing variety of fairly traded products from developing countries. Worth the visit to choose something handcrafted, as a picture online doesnt do justice to the uniqueness of the items. Did I mention the chocolate?
Blown away by the wonderful staff! I cant even begin to describe the selection.A must go to for Christmas gifts -- and theyre gifts you can feel great about.Kate helped me find a tremendous amount of perfect items... even an item for my mother who is very hard to buy for.
This intimate shop is packed with HUGE selection! I didnt think Id find as much as I did and the prices are AMAZING for what youre getting. I picked up a new face mask and its one of the most comfortable I have. Four yr old is obsessed with the adorable fingerpuppet they picked out. Im already eyeing some wine glasses there for next time. The owner is just so sweet and informative. Right next to Mishas, you should do yourself a favor and drop in!
Worked with Alexandrias Ten Thousand Villages for companys tokens of appreciation for staff. Kate, store manager, was responsive, helpful, and went above the necessary customer service to make sure we were happy. We will definitely be using again.
The cutest little shop with the most neat finds! Everything is unique and it’s a great place to shop for gifts. They have one where I used to live as well, so I was super excited when I realized there was one near me here. Made me think of home in the Midwest!
Very friendly helpful staff. Adorable gifts
Good go-to gift shop for a good cause.
I love this shop. Its my go-to shop for picking up gifts for both friends and strangers (for holiday gift exchanges). My very first experience here was a great one, so I come back as often as possible now.I walked in here on a Sunday night at 5:50. The store closes at 6. After browsing the store for a few minutes, starting from the back, I worked my way up to the front of the store, and was kindly greeted by an employee. She asked if I needed help looking for anything, and I openly revealed my dilemma, Im searching for a Secret Santa gift, but I know absolutely nothing about the girl whose name I chose.The wonderful employee gave me a nice tour of the jewelry section, since jewelry is always a safe bet. The employee (or really volunteer) told me which items were the best sellers, which items she had recently sold, etc. I ultimately went with a necklace with turquoise jewels on a silver chain.I could never really tell whether or not the employee (volunteer) was being so helpful because she wanted me to exit the store sooner rather than later since they were closing soon, or if she was always so helpful. Im convincing myself the latter is the case.I also love that they have mini pieces of Divine Chocolate at the register for .25 cents. I can quickly satisfy by sweet cravings (which I always have) without feeling guilty!
Great place for finding unique gifts.
Beautiful store with great selections of jewelry and home goods. Easy place to find gifts, and the prices are very very reasonable for a fair trades store. Im happy to support a business that helps pay fair wages!
My happy place, this is like a toy store for me. I LOVE COMING AND CHECKING OUT THE NEW PRODUCTS. they have beautiful and unique styles.
This shop is so special. So many different options from around the world, and everything is fair trade. I love when I recognize things Ive seen from my world travels.
I love this place. Its a fair trade shop, so you know things are made by hand and fairly paid. I got a beautiful alpaca wool scarf that is so soft and beautiful.
Ten Thousand Villages is a shop selling unique, fair-trade items from around the world. Its a great place to shop for unusual gifts, many of which come with information about how and where the products were made. For at least some of the staff, work there is an unpaidlabor of love.
Want to feel good as you shop? Wanna see really cool items? Selection of amaziñg things like nut earrings that look like stone, cork wallets, fabrics that are unique and beautiful...then to see that the Crafters are from Bangladesh,etc, villages all over the world in certified fair trade. Just go.
Ten thousand village shops are always a great option for gifts that are unique and endearing. This particular spot was well stocked. The woman working there was also very nice and helpful.
Love them! Been shopping here for over 10+yrs. Wonderful staff and volunteers complete the experience. Best place to get beautiful, fair trade items for gifts or treat yourself!
Im staying in Alexandria for a week and making my way down King Street to the many unique shops. This one by far is my favorite!! Such friendly staff and such unique items to choose from. Jewelry, decor, chocolates, coffee, kids items and much more and the prices are very reasonable.
My experience with the staff was truly phenomenal, the store has many beautiful items and you can see that the staff is passionate about what they do.

A great premise behind the store/organization with a great selection of Old World crafts and jewelry although the selection doesnt change much
Popped in just to look around. Staff was super friendly and the store is well located
