“Love this shop on Kensington’s antique row. It’s full of fun gifts and lots of local/seasonal finds. Perfect for picking up a hosting gift or housewarming and fun to browse.”
“I am so sad that Ann Sandra is relocating. I have always enjoyed shopping there for holiday gifts, baby gifts, and splurges for myself. Good luck and best wishes to Fred and the entire staff in your new endeavor. You will be missed!”
“Very fun shop with nicknacks, antiques, decorations and fun gifts.Lots of fun even just to explore and look around. If you are ever stuck wondering what gift to give someone, visit this shop and you will probably find at least 1 or 2 unique gift ideas.Employees are friendly and helpful.Tons of parking and free parking.”
“This place is great! Love the vibes and Mirren is amazing! I came in to get a moldavite stone and didn’t know which one to choose and she was able me! She also helped me pick out a bracelet! Customer service is awesome here! The vibes here are great! I will definitely be coming back!!!”
“This store is a gem for picking up special gifts or when I need a little pick me up for myself. It has the feel of a secret little organic gallery of beautiful treasures. I had passed it for many years not knowing what was inside.Both beautiful plants and pots but also an ever changing selection of jewelry, candles, cards, and other lovely surprises like decorative paper birds. The previous owners were super amazing so I do miss them but the current owner who is always there has a gentle kind spirit as well.”
“Saints Valley offers some of the most unique and charming collections of handmade clothing and jewelry. Each item feels like a piece of art, showcasing the creativity of owner, Lilit. the store's ambiance is bright and welcoming and Lilit is exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable about her products. Whether you're looking for a statement piece or a thoughtful gift....which may turn into a gift for self...Saints Valley is a must visit when looking for one-of-a-kind treasures.”
“I have gone there several times for embroidery, and they have always been very friendly from the time I call until I pick up my quality embroidered item. The owner, Johanna, and her staff are always extra sweet and fun. They really are the best. They have a super cute shop and they ALWAYS (and I do mean always), finish my items quicker than expected.”
“Beautiful shop with the most thoughtful things! They have a beautiful wide selection of scarves, gifts for pickleball aficionados, the prettiest stationary and self-care sets. I always find something different and personable. Always fun to pop in and explore!”
“This is a wonderful little store. I've been shopping here for 15+ years, mostly to buy bird feeding supplies, but also books, puzzles, cards, etc. They have the best selection of products for birds, plus a wide variety of nature-related gifts and other merchandise. They pack a lot into a small space. The staff is always friendly and helpful, ready to offer good advice and to carry my bags of seed to my car, and I've often swapped bird sightings with the owners. I appreciated how they found ways to stay open safely during the pandemic, with clearly stated policies, pre-ordering, and contact-free pickups.”
“I love this shop, partly for nostalgic reasons, as I have been going there since a child. Nicely curated selection of gifts, cards, candles, soaps, beautiful napkins and wrapping… If you are a Portmeiron fan like my mum, you will find your fill here. Prices are reasonable and staff is kind.”
“Enjoyed my visit to the charming Pear Tree Cottage. The owner is such an enthusiastic and engaging woman. I've driven past the store for many years and finally made the time to visit after seeing such a delightful holiday decorated storefront. Highly recommend this store.”
“I bought a gift for my mom. It’s a stork on a mug. Nicely done and well made. The associate put it in a box and wrapped it with a pretty ribbon and tied a bow on it. I am so happy with the gift. The price is reasonable, and the gift is valuable. I would compare back.”
“We are so lucky to have this amazing store in Kensington. Pink Dot has saved me so many times with the perfect gifts. Such a friendly staff and love the small town store feel. Don't miss this gem!”
“This is a great shop, I live out of states and I keep buying my sister and sister in law gifts here. The staff is super responsive and I have even been called by them to check if it was a gift. Not sure how I found them, but glad I did!”
“The staff and owner of this sweet shop went ABOVE AND BEYOND to embroider something last minute for Christmas. The staff and owner are lovely. They make their own candles (not a scented candle person, usually too stinky) but theirs are perfectly balanced and natural - and are made by women who are in need (I bought two). Lovely linens, robes, jewelry, etc. I will be recommending this sweet shop to all my friends.”
“My wife and daughter found this little store for gift shopping after lunch. Wonderful place to find some great deals. Most of the things were 50% off. They have a large vera Bradley collection as well. The staff seem very pleasant to my wife and daughter.”
“this store is so cute! went while on a vacation and stopped in three times throughout the week. lots of adorable stationery and kpop merchandise and sanrio plushies. definitely a must when in town!”
“it's amazing how many new items you'll discover on each visit. I've found rare bookends, MOVA Globes, vases, frames..you name it. On a recent visit, Bonnie, Frances and Lauren each helped me with different item selections, and everyone works together (+ free gift wrapping). Best thing about going here is you'll always find something, unexpectedly, that feels like it was put there just for you. Once you've found this place, your only regret will be not having found it sooner. Great experience!”
“Independent, woman-owned Judaica store for all your Jewish needs. She's got a great selection and even what she doesn't have in the store she can probably get for you -- she's been in the business for upwards of half a century. Most importantly, she was super patient, friendly, and helpful.”
“I think my 6 year old said it best, "wow! This is like an art museum! Oh every room gets better!" Urban farmhouse is a treasure. I come here (and upstairs to Covet) any time I want to find a unique and thoughtful gift. I adore the urban farmhouse vibe, I think I've gotten everything from greeting cards to unique vases to guacamole dishes to bottle openers to tea mugs. I'm delighted every time by the curated selection and friendly service. Shop local and this lovely spot!!”
“Such a cute store with so many unique and thoughtful gifts! I got my mom some birthday gifts here and they were so welcoming even though the new store front wasn't fully open yet. Definitely will go back!”
“The team at this location is great. They were super friendly and very accommodating in helping me pick a great birthday gift for the recipient. They were also able to provide same day delivery, which is awesome!! Thank you.”
“A Mano is the number one gift resource in DC. I had no idea what to get our clients and friends for the holidays this year. I walked into A Mano in Georgetown and Mary took care of everything, quickly gave me ideas and ranges - a monogrammed throw was a big hit, along with inventive items you're not going to find anywhere else. Gift wrapping was pro level. Thanks also to Stacey for help via text - great service!”
“Exactly what I needed for a gift to a family member in MD. I was a bit nervous about the reviews but the fruit bouquet was fresh and well executed. The delivery service even included a photo.”
“They delivered a fruit & flower bouquet on Mother's Day, which has got to be one of the busiest days of the year for them. They communicated well & addressed my concerns promptly. As someone who lives across the country, I appreciate having a unique gift delivered to my parents with good quality & customer service. Definitely recommend and will continue using.”
“We had a last minute order for a senior citizen group of Arlington Virginia. They planned a picnic event. I called Edible at N. Quincy street and explained that I wanted to make it special for the seniors and if they could assist me with creating an arrangement for me to pick up. The lady that took the order was so friendly and nice she said yes I can pick it up. The arrangement was beautiful ? ? ?”
“Came to retrieve a birthday gift from my beloved & continuous membership ! I enjoyed finding the location because gps brings you to the opposite direction but my experience entering the location, ordering, & then promptly receiving my chocolate strawberries which were white & milk chocolate? i will return to this location!”
“Stephanie and her staff are creative and customer focused. They have unique gifts, great baskets and amazing ideas. I can count on them to help me find the perfect gift for the right occasion.”
