FIND WHAT
YOU LOVE.
For nearly two decades, Between Friends Gifts has been a local icon of downtown Tazewell, Virginia. As a boutique hosting local makers’ goods, seasonal decor, and lots of artisan snacks, Between Friends is the perfect place to make a pitstop while doing some retail therapy (especially if you need a thoughtful gift for that special someone!).
Nestled along main street in downtown Tazewell, Between Friends isn’t just a space to shop — it’s also a space for socialization. At the counter, owner Vickie Boothe is often engrossed in conversation with shoppers, both frequent and first-time visitors, offering recommendations or simply checking in on their families.
Among the dishes and fancy snacks, a stunning collection of vintage furniture and thoughtfully displayed dinnerwares add even more character to Between Friends’ offerings. Quality locally-sourced soaps, lotions, and bath accessories can also be found throughout the shop, making perfect little gifts or stocking stuffers for anyone (including yourself!) who’s investing in their self care practices.
Between Friends also offers custom gift basket assembly services, enabling customers to create gift collections that are 100 percent tailored to the recipient. Plus, the shop also offers custom embroidery and monogramming on site. Talk about some thoughtful presents!
Around the holidays, Between Friends is a must-see. Boothe’s windows are craftily adorned with winter-themed goodies and decor. Just below the large Christmas tree in one window, toy trains glide along their tracks, weaving in between tunnels and buildings in miniature Christmas villages.
Local’s tip: If you’re stopping by at Christmastime, commemorate your travels with one of Between Friends’ Virginia-shaped ceramic ornaments. They’re made in state and are an absolute must for your tree!
