“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!”

“I love Simon Pearce and have been collecting some their beautiful items for years. I've had amazing experiences with their Alexandria store.The shop in Alexandria VA has wonderful people working there. They are friendly, professional and very efficient. Their customer service is exceptional. They go above and beyond!”
“I was the recipient of a love gift from their store. I have NOT been inside their brick-and-mortar, but I can say that their products' quality were great! I was very appreciative of the gift from my friend who sent it. I received some sugar cubes, drink syrup, and cookies. I have already used all of the sugar cubes that were rose petal infused. The syrup we received from the local shop's website was perfect for martinis, and the cookies were quickly consumed upon arrival of the package. Shop Made in Virginia specializes in items locally made throughout VA. They have everything in one location, providing a single-stop shop for all things Virginia. You can order items from their website, making it even more convenient to combine items from different places versus just ordering directly from the distributor and having items show up at someone's door individually. They offer food, jewelry, art, prints, bath + beauty items, along with much more. It is worth checking out in-person or online!”
“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.??”
“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!”
“Very fun store to visit. Nice selection of jewelry, crafts, and knickknacks. A great place to look for gifts. Also, weirdly a good selection of coffee, tea, and cocoa. All of those are covered by a rewards program if you go regularly. The spicy cocoa is particularly tasty.”

“The overall experience was mostly good. The museum has a lot of interesting choices for exhibits and what is shown is very digestible for most people. There are a couple of reasons I'm not giving it a complete 5 stars:
1) The food at the Cafe's leaves something to be desired. It really is a cafeteria format. At the atrium cafe that is not far from the entrance, you get a tray and pick the food you'd like served on other paper plates and trays. Most of it truly is cafeteria food such as burgers, Mac and cheese, and chicken tenders & waffle fries are among some choices. They didn't taste all that great as they are left on heated areas for people to grab and who knows how long they sit there.
2) There is an Egyptian mummy exhibit. A history I am usually very interested in. And while the 4 or 5 windows of those exhibits were interesting, I also found it to be a small collection. Not a bad thing necessarily, I was just a tad disappointed.
3) A lot of things take some tickets in advance to get into which is similar to other museums in the area. This is not a bad thing, just something to be aware of before coming in. The butterfly atrium is one of these as an example.
Overall, still a great place to go and worth seeing for free admission. It made my 1st time in Washington D.C memorable.”
“Attended an event at the Reach Center at the Kennedy Center. Too much walking. but wonderful vibe. The folks at the gift shop helped me find my event (I was lost for at least 20 minutes). Lol! The staff is SUPER helpful !”
“An amazing place to stumble into during a hot girl walk, perfect for finding a unique card for your long-distance best friend in Europe. A HUGEEEEE shoutout to Monique (hope I’m spelling it correctly) for beautifully handwriting my message inside the card”
“This place smells wonderful.It has a little bit of everything. Food, clothing, glassware, games, books, etc.The people are very friendly and helpful. It's a smaller store, and you could still spend a couple of hours enjoying all the various offerings they have to sell.Take your time, enjoy this little gem in the heart of old Town Alexandria.”
“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!”

“A very unique store ? walking around in here was an experience haha. All kinds of different things to browse, including stickers, bracelets, snacks, candles, and more! ?? Loved it”
“The gift shops at the mansion and estate of George Washington is big and sells an extensive variety of souvenirs and gifts, ranging from magnets to household items.
Yes it’s slightly expensive which is typical of gift shops but you would appreciate that the entire property is owned and run by a non-profit organisation and gets no support from the government.”
“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!”
“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 ??”
“The only smoke shop in DC worth going to! The staff are so kind and incredibly knowledgeable. Most importantly though… the vibes. They are the best. No where else gets my business—if you’re considering checking this place out, I highly recommend it!”

“Lovely store. Lots of great, interesting gifts to choose from. Wish I could have bought more things, but was on a budget. ? The owner was very kind and helpful. Will definitely stop by again when I visit DC.”
“We were pleasantly surprised by the National Building Museum! It was recommended to me by a relative and I'm glad we took the time to check it out. It was just my husband and I, so we skipped the extra fee to see the Lawn exhibit, aimed at families with young children. It made me miss my kids at that age as they would have loved running up and down hills!We enjoyed many of the unusual current exhibits such as Hoops (photographer Bill Bamberger's collection of photographs depicting basketball courts from around the world showing how they build communities), House & Home (historical exhibit about what it means to live at home for different people across the United States), Secret Cities (the architecture and planning of the Manhattan Project), Flickering Treasures (historical look at the world of great movie theaters in Baltimore), and more!Also, the building that houses the National Building Museum itself is quite grand and there is something to see. Completed in 1887, it originally housed the United States Pension Bureau to serve Civil War veterans and their families. A frieze depicting scenes from the Civil War surrounds the exterior of the building. It also served as the location of several inaugural balls and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.”
“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”
“The service this store provided was punctual, considerate, and delivered exactly what we ordered! The delivery person stayed in constant contact with me even when they were given the wrong address! Great Job”
“The shop has clothing, purses, jewelry, china, crystal, soaps, children's items, candles, picture frames, just an amazing assortment of gift items and cards. Staff are wonderful and they will put items in bags with tissue and ribbons for you! Great place for gifts!”
“Absolutely LOVE this place! Excellent selections. I always get great gifts. Extremely friendly staff. It's hands down one of the best original artwork stores in the entire DMV.”
“Outstanding customer service!Last week I visited the Gallery Shops [West building, ground floor].I was pleasantly surprised to see a great deal on LOQI Tote bags at this store.I would like to personally thank the sales associate Daniel or David [I am sorry in case I got his name wrong], a young professional who helped me to select it, answered all my questions, escorted me to the counter, and managed financial transactions.”

“Passionately Pets provided excellent walking services on our recent vacation. Our sitter, Jeff, was courteous and seemed confident in his ability to handle our sometimes obstreperous 95 lbs German Shepherd. Unlike other walking services we have used, Jeff actually walked our dog for most of the 30 minute visit. Would definitely recommend.”
