Our Story
We’ve lived in Richmond our whole lives.
Over time, we’ve built relationships with the people who help others find their place here, especially real estate agents who are constantly introducing new homeowners to the city.
That process has always been interesting to us.
It's a moment we only get a handful of times, sometimes only once. Getting the keys, walking through the door, and starting to settle into a new place. It’s the beginning of something important, not just the end of a transaction.
Welcome Home RVA was started with the intention of taking that moment to the next level.
We created a way to reflect Richmond through a small collection of goods made by local businesses, things people can actually use, that feel connected to where they are, and are packaged in a way that commemorates the agent who helped them along the way.
It’s designed to be simple, consistent, and easy for agents to incorporate into what they already do. We want to provide homeowners with a truly special (re)introduction to Richmond, or to take a piece of it with them as a farewell.
Everything we include is intentional.
Everything is rooted here.
Every box is meant to feel like an extension of the experience of coming home.
Inside the Box -
A few Richmond staples we keep coming back to. Now part of the experience.
Na Nin
Na Nin is a go-to in Richmond for people who care about how their space feels in a meaningful way.
The Virginia Pine candle stood out because it fits that mindset. It’s clean, grounded, and immediately makes a space feel settled.
Out of everything in the box, this was the one that felt like it had to be in a new home.
Blanchard's Coffee
Grabbing an amazing cup of coffee in Richmond is synonymous with Blanchard's. It’s familiar whether you’ve been here years or just arrived.
The Richmond Blend reflects that. It’s balanced, delicious, and easy to step into. When thinking about what someone would actually want on their first morning in a new place, this was the clear choice.
AR's Hot Honey
There are plenty of specialty food products around here. This one stuck.
AR’s built something simple that people actually use, a southern pantry staple with just enough edge to make it memorable. It’s versatile, it lasts, and it’s the kind of thing someone reaches for without thinking twice.
That made it an easy inclusion.
Poe's Pub
Since 1978, Poe's Pub has been a Richmond staple. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's time in Richmond, it's a neighborhood institution known for good food, good company, and a uniquely Richmond character.
