D.C. Holiday Shopping Made Simple — In Just One Day
Unless you've been living under a rock (or at least your laptop has), you know there are a gazillion gift guides floating around out there. But here's something a little different: We've documented one full day (or two, if you like to savor your shopping) of browsing our favorite stores in town, stopping for amazing treats at the must-visit cafes and coffee shops along the way. In the spirit of making your life a little bit easier, we've got loads of eye-candy to share with you from our jaunts in Georgetown and along 14th and U streets, plus the very best ideas for those still-to-buy gifts on your list. So, settle in, take some notes, and start planning your own perfect purchasing adventure.
Lost Boys
The marriage of a heavy-duty fabric and an old-school silhouette make these Band of Outsiders bow ties, $135, feel thoroughly modern.
The classic Moleskin notebook, $45, gets the Shipley & Halmos treatment — a great gift for the thinking man on your list.
Lost Boys, 1033 31st Street NW; 202-333-0093.
Charm
These luxuriously wrapped, triple-milled MOR Emorium White Collection Soaps, $7 each, smell of fresh meadows and pink grapefruit. Inspired by stories of 17th-century decadence, they are almost too pretty to unwrap.
Designed by a former model, these 18-karat gold-plated Gorjana Reversible Alphabet Necklaces, $85, are chic simplicity at its best.
The stunning Sharya Stone and Wood Ring, $70, boasts an irresistible combination of banded purple agate against an ebonized wooden band.
Charm, 2910 M Street NW; 202-298-0420.
Café Bonaparte
The creamy, dairy-free carrot soup is bursting with fresh veggie flavor and is topped with crunchy croutons and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Irresistible!
Step into the Last Tango Crêpe, a local favorite, and be transported into a charming Parisian café. Warm up with a bowl of delicious soup, and delight in one of the most luscious crêpes on the menu, filled with strawberries and Nutella (and we suggest adding bananas, too). Café Bonaparte, 1522 Wisconsin Avenue NW; 202-333-8830.
