Small Business Saturday: Del Ray Variety

Editor’s note: Small Business Saturday is coming up this weekend on Saturday, Nov. 29. The day encourages people to shop at small businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

An enchanting throwback to the old-fashioned general store meets upscale and modern at 203 East Custis Ave., in the heart of Del Ray.

Del Ray Variety is a one-stop shopping destination including toys, party supplies, books, gifts, canning supplies, office and school, arts and crafts, hardware and large infant department. After all Del Ray is all about family.

The store is best known for “All Things Birthday,” providing unique gifts for every age group and all the supplies you need for an over the top party: helium balloons, cake decorating supplies, themed and general party supplies including plates, cups and napkins; everything you need for decorating inside and out, plus everything for those must-have treat bags for your party guest.

With classic toys and crafts like “Operation,“ and unpainted wood, along with the hottest toys of the time, everything Disney Frozen® and the hot new craft Loopdedoo, toys and crafts are the most commonly purchased gifts.

Our customers love the convenience of placing advanced phone-in balloon orders and picking-up at their chosen time. Another customer favorite is our spacious 21-space parking lot adjacent to the store.

When renovated, our beautiful art deco building maintained the huge original storefront windows which are now loaded with everything to make all your Christmas dreams come true.

Store owners Arnett and Dorn are sure you will share their passion for this truly unique shopping experience.
