Hi! I’m Tess Ritchie. I am a Sophomore at Liberty University from Charlotte, North Carolina. I’m so thankful to the Downtown Lynchburg Association for letting me take you guys with me throughout my day in Downtown Lynchburg with their Downtown Lynchburg Gift Card. My friend, Faith West, who is a local photographer, spent the day with me and took all of the pictures throughout our day downtown.
A nice thing about the Downtown Lynchburg Gift Card is that you can track your balance on your receipt (it shows up as ##x## right next to the Authorization Code) after you buy something, so it is super easy to know how much money you have left! You can also check your balance online.
The White Hart Cafe
Gift Card Purchase: $9.00
The first place we went to on our day downtown was The White Hart Cafe! This is my favorite coffee shop in Lynchburg because of its calm atmosphere and kind employees which makes it perfect for studying. I used my Downtown Lynchburg Gift Card and got an iced chai latte with vanilla and a cookie. The White Hart has lots of seating options which is something that I look for when finding a coffee shop I love. This is a great place to go to with your friends or if you need a place to get a lot of homework done.
Live Trendy or Die
Gift Card Purchase: $48.44
The next place we visited was Live Trendy or Die. This boutique is by far my favorite store downtown! They have so many cute clothes and accessories all at an affordable price. While I went throughout the store, I found so many adorable things and it was hard to not try on everything. I ended up getting a perfect white dress that looks just like a dress that I have been wanting forever- but this one was half the price! This store also has a section of vintage clothes which I love because you can find something that no one else has!
Gilded
Gift Card Purchase: $10.11
Next, we stopped by Gilded which is right next door to Live Trendy or Die. They sell cards, candles, and so many cute little things that you can use whether it be for school, work, or even around the house. With so much to look at, you can spend forever browsing. There are lots of things that you won’t see at first glance, including some dainty necklaces and earrings that would match any outfit! While I was in Gilded, I found a small notebook that is easy to carry which is exactly what I was looking for! Another great thing about Gilded is that THEY SELL Downtown Lynchburg Gift Cards. Whether it’s for yourself or for a friend, the Downtown Lynchburg Gift Card is the perfect gift for anyone!
Ayven Avenue
NOW ACCEPTING DOWNTOWN LYNCHBURG GIFT CARDS
Ayven Avenue Boutique was the next stop on our list. Faith has been telling me to go for so long because she’s so obsessed with the store! A thing I really liked about this store is how they’ve decorated. It’s in an old house and the back wall is a huge mirror, so it is really easy to see what clothes would look like on you. They have so many cute clothes and accessories, but I would have to say my favorite thing about this boutique would have to be the shoes! They have so many choices and they are all so cute and unlike any that you would be able to find at the mall.
RiverWalk Trail
Right before dinner we decided to go to the RiverWalk Trail to take some pictures. This is such a pretty area, and it is the perfect scenic place to spend time with your friends or go on a picnic. It’s also a great place to take pictures whether it’s raining like it was on the day we went or if it’s sunny! With so many amazing places nearby like Riverfront Park, Dublin 3 Coffeehouse, MayLynn’s Creamery, and The Depot Grille (which is where we went next), it’s the perfect location.
The Depot Grille
Gift Card Purchase: $24.07
The Depot Grille is the best place to go for dinner because it has such a comfortable atmosphere and the staff there is amazing. Our waiter and waitress were both so nice and made our time there even better. We got cheese fries as an appetizer which were absolutely delicious and I highly recommend them! For our meals, Faith got the Southwest Salad, and I got the Pretzel Club Sandwich. We loved our meals! We weren’t planning on getting dessert, but our awesome waiter talked us into getting the Brownie Sundae. He didn’t lie when he said it was delicious. Overall, The Depot is the perfect place to go, especially with big groups, because they have such a variety of food on their menu which will make everyone happy.
I had the best day downtown with Faith and I am happy I could take you guys with me! A huge thank you to the Downtown Lynchburg Association for giving me the opportunity to do this! I highly recommend buying Downtown Lynchburg Gift Cards for friends or family. You can see and do so many things with it!
