“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.”
“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about SHELTER! My husband and I had them design custom wedding rings. They walked us through the whole process and pricing. Everything was transparent and they made sure we were happy at every stage from the design through the fitting. Hope to work with them again in the future and would highly recommend them for custom jewelry or they also have wonderful designs in the store.”
“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!”

“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.”

“I love everything about Nova Bossa. Carolina and her team have selected beautiful items that you can feel really good about. They spark you heart and soul. I bought a ring when I just really needed something pretty and good -- they made the shopping experience so positive and now I have a bit of sparkle in my day. Would recommend in every way if you're looking for that special gift for someone or for yourself.”
