“I am amazed at the level of personal service The Old Town Shop provided when a friend's gift of beautiful cherry blossom bags was stolen from my front porch. Valerie went out of her way, when she saw that the package had been delivered but then stolen from my porch. She ordered the replacement and got it re-delivered with a lovely note card. And I love the beautiful cherry blossom bags! Although I live in Bethesda, I will make a point of visiting The Old Town Shop when I am in the neighborhood.”

Take the time to explore the nature 3 floors with a lot of things to see.

“I love shopping at Steadfast Supply. They have such unique and fun items in their store. I never leave empty handed. They source incredible greeting cards too and it's my first stop in the neighborhood for any card I need for personal or work scenarios!”
“Outstanding environment, this is the best place to visit after your, visit to the White House., The staff is fully ingage when you walk in store. I've been a customer since 2013. ANDY HARLAND, LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA USA USA ??”
“Doing Nisey’s is like being on a treasure hunt. You will find something that satisfies your desire, need or want. While shopping, the vibe you experience is like therapy. A real feel good place. The proprietor (Jackie) is informative, creative, sweet and a true jewel.??”
“On our annual anniversary trek to Alexandria my wife and I hit the shops, particukarly for the grandkids. Happy Place caught our eye and Anneliese made the experience incredible. Besides help with gifts she was a wealth of info regarding Christmas happenings in Old Town. Hope the owners appreciates the gem they have working for them. Stop by and indulge. Take in the beautiful scenery along the way.”
“I found this business online while on the hunt for a wooden wine holder shaped as a duck for my girlfriend's mother as she had added this to her Christmas wishlist. (Yes, I know it sounds silly). I'm skeptical when it comes to online shopping with the way the world is today but I hoped for the best & ended up purchasing the item. What led me to their site was the fact that the product was way cheaper than the competitors & their shipping timeframe was promising. About a week later, I received the item and it was perfect! Exactly as described, got here quickly, and didn't cost an arm or a leg to do so! Very satisfied customer!”

“This store is GREAT for gifts, surprises, or just some nice finds to have around your home. It's also great for finding puzzles, games, or hobbies to do on your own. They also had quality cards for special occasions, and many unique items - and all for a good value - that really made me appreciate this store. It's a shop that's worth coming by over and over again, whenever I'm in the area to see what finds for sale the owner has managed to pull out of the top hat. And this isn't a second-hand shop.”
“Always a great selection of cool NASA items, from pins and stickers to jewelry, apparel, and home items. Prices are very reasonable, some items are pricey but nothing feels overpriced.”
“I love this store, both the Shirlington and Wharf locations! They have a variety of unique gift ideas - but my favorite is their selection of vintage jewelry 5 stars all the way!”
“Visited with MIL - a gem of a find. While small, lots of beautiful and unique gifts, especially for the hard-to-shop-for category. The owner was a delight and we were happy to leave with nice gifts for others (bags, jewelry, and definitely some for ourselves). It's right off Eastern Market and upstairs from a cards and balloons shop so a bit hard to see from the street - but worth seeking out!”

“This was my first time at National Archives Store. My toddler and I found so many awesome gifts to bring back home. Staff were extremely helpful, kind and knowledgeable. Top quality items! Very well organized. I experience wonderful customer service. Highly recommend shopping here on your DC trip.”
“This is actually one of the best museum gift shops I see in DC. There are so many options, the designs are unique and cute (not just regular, boring museum merch), and they support payment via WeChat and Zhifubao.”
“Actually a pretty solid gift shop in a pretty good location. Our toddler wasn't really crazy about anything in there, it seems like it's definitely more focused on adults that like history which is totally understandable.
The gift shop is relatively small but fun to peruse. And looking back at our trip, I'm glad we didn't really focus on getting anything there. There are SO MANY gift shops in the area, just keep that in mind.”
“This is the actual gift shop in the headquarters building of NASA so of course it's awesome. Really friendly staff that will help you find what you need in terms of clothing pins cups or astronaut ice cream”

“I bought space food and magnets.
There are 4 types of space food: 3 flavors of ice cream and dried strawberry.
It was about 8 dollars.
I thought it would be nice if there were more types.
I purchased the magnet shown in the photo. It was about 12 dollars.”
“Was in need of quick items to gift somebody who recently lost a loved one. I am a fan of quickness and efficiency in this store hit its mark perfectly! Excellent customer service as well.”

“Patrick's is a beautiful gem on the Wharf. I see in the reviews below other shoppers mention their price point and the owner being "rude", but I'll have to come to their defense. The owner is not rude, he's actually a lovely person with a dry sense of humor, which I realize some may take as rude, but he is not. Getting to know him has been a treat. The owners of this business have been in interiors and decor for a long while and have a gift. Their store is stocked with classic high-end dinnerware, tableware, art, candles, jewelry, picture frames, and all sorts of home goods and beautiful treasures. Mixed in with the higher-end offerings are plenty of affordable and beautiful items, too. I think a sign of a well-made shop is one that provides goods for all variations of shoppers, which is a challenge, but Patricks does this well. Do yourself a favor and visit them. I shop here often and cannot say enough kind things! I am excited to see what they bring out for Easter!”
“Enjoyed it seeing the selection of gifts at the Washington DC gift shop. We were able to get some souvenirs from our trip from here and they had a good selection. The staff was nice and it was well organized with lots of options especially lots of magnets and Christmas ornaments.”
“Fantastic service. I ordered a same day delivery from Arizona and after hitting the send button, I realized it was 15 minutes until they close. I called to confirm my order was received and they could deliver same day. They really came through and delivered within two hours! Thank you so much for the great service and delicious strawberries.”
“The customer service is great under new management! I ordered chocolate apples and ballon’s for my son’s birthday at school (apples are all he eats). He was so happy. Check out the pics.”

“Had a great experience using SHELTER! Used them to custom make a custom engagement ring and it came out beautiful! Coming in knowing about nothing on engagement rings, Magnolia walked me through all the steps helped me pick out styles and options I liked. They are very knowledgeable about stones and metals to use and what looks good. Could not be happier with the outcome. I felt the price was very reasonable as well. Would highly recommend!”
