FOR WHEN THE GIFT IS THOUGHTFUL… BUT THE WRAPPING ISN'T. 😂

Sometimes the bag is almost as important as what's inside.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, a new baby, showing up at the last possible minute, or just need everyone to know that you are absolutely not good at wrapping presents...we've got a bag for that.

Of course, then you still have to figure out what to put inside.

Luckily, we're pretty good at that part too. 😉

Which bag are you grabbing? 👇

New Item Monday!

Our NEW tee shirt design for this weekend's Blue Ridge Bigfoot Festival at Wintergreen Resort in Nellysford, VA. The Scarlet Visionary captured the fall colors of the mountain retreat and even put a couple West Virginia visitors on the famous chairlift!

The only problem? We don't know what color shirt to put it on! Which do you like best? Natural, Charcoal, or Garnet? 👇Let us know below!

MOONSHINE MONDAY

There’s a lot of time to think when you spend this much time on the road.

Long drives. Late nights. Early mornings. Long hours standing in a 10x10 space. And probably more conversations with myself than I should admit to. 😂

You think about where you’ve been. Where you’re going. What’s working. What isn’t. What matters…and what really doesn’t.

Sometimes the road is exhausting. Sometimes it clears your head.

And somewhere between here and there, you usually learn a little something about yourself.

👣 Keep wandering.

💚 A LITTLE SUNDAY NIGHT FAVOR…

Somehow, this weird little store of ours has become Your Appalachian Emporium.

A place for local artists and authors. Antiques and vintage. West Virginia history. Books. Original creations. And, obviously, an unreasonable number of cryptids. 😂

If The Thrifty Mountaineer has ever made you laugh, helped you discover something new, introduced you to a local creator, or simply given you a place where weird feels normal, we'd be honored to have your vote for Best of Morgantown 2027.

💚 Vote for the weird. Vote for the fun. Vote Thrifty.

🔴👣👽 WEIRD HAS A HOME HERE.

Some of you came for Mothman.
Some came for Bigfoot.
Some came for West Virginia history, antiques, local artists, bad jokes or whatever strange thing we happened to post that day.

And some of you probably still aren't entirely sure why you're here. 😂

That's okay. Neither are we.

The Thrifty Mountaineer has always been a place for the weird, the wonderful and the people who enjoy wandering somewhere a little different.

Believers. Non-believers. Cryptid-curious.

There's room for all of you here.

👣 Come Wander.
