There are plenty of places near Charlottesville where one can pick a pumpkin.

My partner gifted me a @Swatch for Christmas. I love it. However, it's fitted and the size was a little too big. The return policy was extended through Jan 31st for the holiday season so we sent it back right away and decided we'll re-purchase when I can go to a @SwatchUS store.
