family members to attend Virginia Tech. Tom and Michelle knew Blacksburg was the right place for their family.As Virginia Tech football season ticket holders, Blacksburg was a frequent destination for the Raubs. During their trips back to town they saw a need for a gift shop in the area which offered a wider selection of product lines and services. When the decision to move to Blacksburg was made, they knew it was time and t.r. collection was born. The store opened in September 2015 and has become a regular stop for locals, students, and visitors alike.
At t.r. collection you will discover an ever-changing assortment of hand-picked treasures for everyone in the family. From unique hostess gifts to birthday, graduation, wedding, baby, thank you and corporate gifts, t.r. collection offers the perfect choice for any occasion. They constantly work to keep the store fresh, adding new products and services regularly.
But it doesn’t just stop there…Tom and Michelle understand at the core of the human experience are relationships; relationships with ourselves and others. Whether you are celebrating an important event, expressing love to a family member, reconnecting with an old friend, thanking a business colleague, or just doing something nice for yourself, giving a gift is an emotional act that fosters relationships. Relationships are the foundation of community and the Raubs see t.r. collection as more than just a store. Tom and Michelle see t.r. collection as a platform for building community and they embody that philosophy in everything they do. Enter the front door of t.r. collection and you will immediately be welcomed into their family.
If you need a gift and want an experience that’s more than just a business transaction, you must visit t.r. collection. You’ll definitely find the gift you need and you may find much more as you experience the atmosphere of community Tom and Michelle are building in downtown Blacksburg.
