Before the Rockville Town Center redevelopment, many of you may remember that The Waygoose gift shop was by Magruders on North Washington Street. They relocated to Bethesda during the rebuilding phase and everyone kept hoping that they would keep their promise to open a second location. On May 1st they did open on Maryland Avenue and they are back in Rockville.
The Waygoose is not simply a gift shop but rather a gallery bursting with crafts from North American artisans. It’s
filled with unusual and wonderful creations and inventions. True artists take their handcrafts to a new level. This unusual graphite pen looks like a branch and it will write for 7-10 years!
I must admit that at both the old and the new locations in Rockville, I have had friends working as shopkeepers. Because everyone is friendly and knowledgeable, you will feel as if you do too.
It’s the perfect place to find something special for someone special. My family and friends have received many gifts from The Waygoose. Truthfully I don’t enjoy shopping. When I have to buy a gift, I want to know that I will find something at the one place I go with the limited amount of time I have.
The Waygoose has pottery, jewelry, baby items, crystals, salad hands, clocks, cards, c
utting boards, bird houses, ornaments, wall art, and many things I never dreamed existed. You can even “Give ‘em the Boot” (It’s a bird house made out of a real old boot!). Since I love these crafts, my time is spent figuring out who should receive them as gifts, but really I want them for myself. It’s not every day that you will hear a shop referred to as a gallery!
