Appointments began in 1991 when Patience Garrett chose to follow her calling with an avid interest in retailing, antiques and beautiful appointments for the home. Having graduated from Washington and Lee University in 1989 in the first class of women, Patience made the decision to follow her interest and passion in seeking out and offering unique gift selections that customers would be proud to give and recipients would be thrilled to receive. For three years, Appointments offered gift selections in a small boutique space in Greensboro, NC. Then, in 1994, the internet was just beginning to offer customers the opportunity of buying items online. With a desire to be on the cutting edge of retailing, Appointments made its debut on the internet--before the "brick and mortar" stores made that transition. In the early days, it was a different experience for customers to "shop in their pajamas after hours". From the beginning, everyone at Appointments was dedicated to making sure that ordering a gift selection was convenient and very special. It was an exciting time and Appointments was part of the newest venue for shoppers! Customer service with personal attention was as important as the high quality merchandise that was offered. The desire to take special care of our customers is as important today as it was fifteen years ago. Today, Appointments home office is in Virginia. Gift wrapping is offered on almost all selections and your personal message is enclosed with every gift. All of us at Appointments.com give your order the special care you would give to it yourself. Whether you are shopping for "perfect gift for a special person", looking for a lovely addition to your home or dining table, or personally shopping for a "necessary luxury", we hope you will enjoy browsing through the merchandise selections that are some of our very favorites.
