“This store is a gem - both for everyday beautiful pieces and for designing custom pieces. I designed 4 customs pieces with the Shelter team and from start to finish they were patient, helpful, and insightful, offering expert opinions and recommendations about what would best protect and represent my stones and my vision. I could not have been happier with my experience!”
“This store is such a treat. I love finding locally made gifts, offbeat greeting cards, and sometimes something for me, too. Joyce is a GEM - always helpful, knowledgeable, kind and accommodating.”
“The young lady at the front, I can’t recall her name; however, she went above and beyond with helping me. Very knowledgeable, inviting and patient. She listened to me, spent quality time working with me and made sure I understood everything. Oh, let’s not forget the dope artwork! I will definitely be going back! Best Dispensary hands down!”

“One of my favorite museums on the planet. The Deep Time and Ocean Hall exhibits are fantastic. Lovers of gemstones will also not be disappointed by the museum's collection of gems and minerals.
If you're a fan of sharks don't miss the life-sized Otodus megalodon sculpture hanging in the atrium (just next to the ocean exhibit).”
“I like the unique prints and post cards but I wish I had got a copy of my receipt. There is this “support local business” pink sticker labeled at $3 in my bag which I know I didn’t pick. Four post cards and a sticker came up to $20ish seems about right anyways! Friendly services and clean store!”
“This gift shop has such a special atmosphere that it instantly stands out from other stores. From the moment I walked in, I noticed how beautifully everything was displayed. The store was filled with stylish and thoughtful gift ideas for every occasion, whether it’s birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or simple appreciation gifts. I especially loved the mix of modern, handmade, and personalized items that gave the shop a very unique character.
The staff members were incredibly friendly and professional during my entire visit. They were available whenever I needed assistance but also allowed me enough space to browse comfortably. I appreciated their product knowledge and how patient they were while helping me choose between different options. The quality of the products was impressive, and everything looked carefully selected. Shopping here felt calm, enjoyable, and personal instead of rushed. I left feeling extremely happy with my purchases and will definitely continue recommending this place to others.”
“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 !”
“Happened upon this sweet little spot when strolling through Capitol Hill yesterday. The shop is above a beautiful stationary and card store with equally lovely items. Christine, the owner, is French and listening to her lovely lilt while conversing with another French speaking patron drew me up the stairs immediately. Her space is filled with unique gifts she merchandises from Paris, as well as other fair trade items that support women working in remote locations across the globe. I picked up a beautiful scarf for my momma, as I try to find one for her whenever I'm traveling. Quaint and reasonably priced, there's a little something for everyone, but truly the best part of all is Christine. She's warm and friendly and we immediately fell into a lengthy conversation that made my whole day. If you ever wanted an immediate French bestie, this is the place to find her. Thank you Christine, and Vive la France! ??”
“I went to A Mano for help designing my wedding invitations and I'm so glad I did! Adam is absolutely incredible and has the best taste. He has so much experience to share from wedding etiquette and monogramming to home design. His attention to detail is amazing and he goes completely above and beyond to make things personal. I can’t recommend A Mano & Adam enough!”
“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.”
“Nice selection of gifts with some nice clearance items. The regular prices are pretty much the same as at the gift shops at nearby museums and government buildings; some are even of higher prices. Clearance items are half off so generally are good deals.
They gave us a free photo shoot with the oval office background for our purchase, but we didn’t use it. The photoshoot spot is right around the corner with clear signs.”
“Today I visited the Basilica of The National Shrine to look for gifts and to enjoy the beauty and serenity of this amazing temple. Of course I spent more time than I intended but it was well worth it. I found out that the gift shop opens at 9:00 am and closes at 5:00 pm. Between the shrine and the gift shop one can easily spend all day.”
“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.”

“Nice selection of unique items, reasonably priced for an airport gift store! The sales clerk, Malik, was friendly and knowledgeable about the products- even gave me tips on the actual museum.”
“Cute shop with a wide range of fun items for the whole family. Got some cute NASA logo baby booties as a gift for a friend. The puffer jackets were $160 and very thin. Unless they're made with space technology or mylar, you're better off buying some NASA logo patches and ironing them on a North Face or generic puffer jacket.”
“This is a nice and affordable boutique store. I always come here every time I visit the wharf. Im always on the hunt for rare and fashion jewelry pieces. They have a unique collection of jewelry and paraphernalia. Great customer service as well!”
“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 best gift shop in town. They have everything that you would want for a gift to send to your family or friends or even kids I would highly recommend stopping by”
“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.”
“I think I come in here every other day. I’ve sent so many others. This is my 2nd family. Everything is always stocked and stocked with new goodies. And you definitely get treated like a VIP CLIENT.”
