- Your presence – not presents – is required.
Virginia GEMS asks you to give real life "experiences" instead of "stuff" as you look for special gifts for friends, family and loved ones throughout the year. From tickets to plays, concerts, and films or memberships to area museums, Virginia GEMS helps you solve gift-giving dilemmas, helps reduce waste (less "stuff" means fewer things in area landfills!) and supports our local economy. So next time Mother's Birthday rolls around or you find yourself wondering what anniversary gift to give your husband, think about a Virginia GEMS. Local businesses, organizations and individual artists will thank you (as will our environment!). Mom and hubby will too! -
