Museum Gift Shops
Q: I am looking for unique presents this year. I know a lot of the museums have nice gift shops. Can you refer me to the best ones in town? Thanks!!
A: I think this is a great idea and we in the Post Home section always encourage readers to check out museum gift shops for one-of-a-kind, good quality presents. A few we like are shops at the National Archives, the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery/Museum of American Art and the National Building Museum.

My favorite museum gift shop is the one in the basement under Freer-Sackler gallery, in the tunnel underneth that joins the two buildings. It has all this quirky Asian-themed stuff, and I've had great success getting weird presents there for teens and twenty-somethings, but there are also nice things like placemats and scarves. Good luck!

If you can get there during the day and don't mind going through security, the House gift shop in Longworth is nice. It's been redone (I assume it has reopened by now).
