Visited late Saturday night to get some souvenirs for my family before heading back home in the morning, ASHLEY, GRACE, and MAXINE, treated me and my family very disrespectful and poorly, providing us no help at all and simply stating we had to leave the store. I asked to speak to a a manager, was told “you’re talking to 2 of them,” (not sure which of the 3 ladies cornering me were management) and repeatedly told “yeah get out.” I’d take your money somewhere else, poor managers and lousy staff. It’s sad to come from out of town and be disrespected by a whole group of ladies when we were simply trying to by some souvenirs for our family.
White House Gifts [Shop] is private and for-profit. It sells Seal of the President of the United States in possible violation of the law. (The White House Gift Shop (online only) does too, but it says it was founded in 1946 by Harry S. Truman and mentions a mission that it might still have.)
I really liked this store. They had a variety of nice things at good prices. For example, I got a really nice baseball cap for $10, and some great t-shirts for $13 each. Great place with great prices for DC souvenirs.
Lots of fun stuff to buy. Very pricey though.
Nice gift shop with a large stock of White House and US politics related items. You can probably find same or similar items at a lower price in other shops, but its central location make it very convenient.
Friendly and helpful staff, found just want I needed.
Great souvenirs! They gave us a free picture after buying some souvenirs👍👍👍
It was clean and well stocked and organized. Nothing stood out for or against this store. Had bright lighting and prices were what youd expect. The employees were normal behaving and friendly. Over all just a normal gift shop experience.
Typical gifts in a tidy and well sorted atmosphere. Nothing special. Also good place to cool down if its getting too hot outside
Nice clean store. If you spend over a certain amount you get a free photo next door at a fake oval office. Fun souvenir. I always go when in town.
Great place to get souvenirs. Prices are okay, considering the location. I’m not sure about other souvenir stores, but when you make a purchase here, hold on to your receipt because with it you get a free photograph (which is around the corner). You get three options for the background. You get a free photograph per receipt ;)
They had everything I was looking for, including a DC ornament set I could not find anywhere else. Super nice people too.
Its a good shop with a lot of good variety but good gosh are the prices ridiculously high!
Great place to get souvenirs while at the Capital!!!!! Stop by get some good stuff to remember your trip. Helpful staff also.
Employees were great and personable, atmosphere was wonderful. There are some many items to choose from, but it is definitely worth it.
Bro like they gave me the best gifts and the best service, I love them all!
It was really wood, they have variety of products. I recommend to everyone
Some of the best gifts I’ve seen while in DC
It is what it is in this crazy world got to take some pictures and continue to the next thing but really nice to view
So many options great first time visit
Great variety good prices found what I needed
It has alot of gifts to choose from my favorite was the shirts and the snow globes lol . But if you are a visitor to DC and want something to remember your visit then stop in and get something they have stuff thats cheap and stuff thats not so cheap but worth it and they even got drinks Incase you are thirsty walking around downtown .
I was doing some research on Visitor Centres when I decided to visit the White House Visitor Centre. I was very impressed with the information and the way in which it was presented. I especially liked the virtual tour of the White House and the audio visual presentations. If you cant get to visit the White House (or dont want to) this is a pretty good alternative.
Conveniently located near the White House with lots of fun trinkets to memorialize your trip. Tourist prices expected.
Parking not so available...but the shop is awesome. Take pictures at whit house desk or podium too
Very expensive. But hey your in dc. Better variety of gifts though
Simple gift shop with good prices.
Fun little spot with some nice things to buy as souvenirs or for gifts.
We were stalked throughout the WHOLE store as if we were thieves 🙄😡. We still bought a few souvenirs. If u spend 50$ or more they let u take a free white house themed photo we opted out. I will NOT return
Hard to find a gift shop with this variety in DC, this its the correct place to go if you want good service and prices, his owner very kind definitely recommend to anyone and will come back any time I came to DC.
Fun place. They have everything
What a GREAT gift shop! I expected the prices to be outrageous, but its one of the most affordable of all the shops in DC.T-shirts & Hoodies were cool, $20-30. Clearance section, great historical pieces & present-day, everything you could imagine has #45 on it.Highly recommend. The staff is friendly and helpful, cool shopping bags when you make a purchase. Heehee, always a +++
Decent. Good souvenirs, little pricey but look where its at.
Love the grounds and the surrounding areas
Nice selection of everything George Washington shoppe. Very pleased with the t-shirt 👕 I purchased. Highly recommended!
Great selection of souvenirs with pretty standard pricing. My only complaint is that they didnt have their tshirts and hoodies labeled by mens/unisex and womens sizing, so you were kind of left to guess.
Nice place to buy memories.
Nice little store.
Nice store; good stuffs, good customer service especially the worker named grace, she is really nice. I give this store a five star
Buge suvenir collection
Good selection of gift items for your visit to the White House.
Overpriced. Very overpriced. The oval office picture opportunity is no longer located in the shop and that was our favorite part. After purchase, we were directed to the photo area around the corner and told it has different hours than the giftshop. We never found it.
Nice selection of Whitehouse paraphernalia.
You can find so many things but Little bit expensive
It was brilliant day and time
This is a nice store, with nice items, but I took away a star because of all the Biden stuff taking up shelf space before he was even president.
Smaller selection of gifts and generally crowded due to proximity to the white house
Excellent collection of souvenirs.
Its a gift shop, they have things for all parties
Go..so much to see and buy good prices too .
So nice and very helpful one the best gifts shops in DC
AMAZING selection of gifts and collectibles. Plus free photo offer with purchase. Clean store and friendly customer service. Found items here I had not seen at other stores and their prices were VERY reasonable. Also the photo offer was really a good deal and great quality!
Overpriced tourist junk. Disappointing.
Nice varity in presents
What you’d expect from a touristy gift shop.
Cute store with every type of souvenir needed.
Not too many options like in NYC
Nice place, overrated prices but nice memorial gifts
Not worth visiting.
Great gift shop directly across from the White House. I was able to grab some great presents for family and friends. The lady at the register was super friendly and helpful. Location, selection and service was fantastic. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fantastic souvenirs while in Washington D.C.
Good value overall. Went twice within 24 hours. Perfect place for DC gifts.
Good prices for souvenirs. Funny stuff, serious stuff and a wide range in between available.
We came to this store just as about it was closing. But the ladies that worked there let us buy our souvenirs cause we had no other time to that. And i will never forget the hospitality. The store is very well equipped if you are looking for souvenirs this is the place to go.
Too many Camila and Biden stuff
Ive had the chance for only a single visit to this store but was impressed with its content and location. Prices seemed reasonable and there was a little of each taste for everyones political affiliation. The location is close the many landmarks in down town Washington DC. Bus routes have stops near the store and is within walking distance of the ones we saw. S bonus is how nice it is inside on a hot dc day.
Crazy good. So much stuff. Something for everyone. Tons of souvenirs. Go next door & take a picture at mock up of Presidents desk. Lots of fun & worth price of picture
Very snooty woman was there, I just walked out.
Overpriced, junky souvenirs not far from the White House.
This place is too expensive. The souvenir vendors across the street are 75% cheaper and they sell the same or better quality stuff, with more variety. Theres a very pleasant light-skinned heavy set guy named Dave who sells really nice hats, t-shirts and other Trump souvenir stuff at far beter prices than the White House Gift Shop. And he is easier to get access to, being conveniently located across from the gift shop, near the White House. The other tourists love him. I highly recommend Mr. Dave.
Beautiful Buildings, just heartbreaking that they had to be boarded up. Sad times!
Great items
Fun shop if you are visiting the area. Cashier lady was very friendly!
Its a wonderful place to go to the White House gift shop had a lot of different things that you can buy from there they had pictures of all the different presidents and their wife and all the different stuff in Washington DC and different places that people have been to and although other stuff that you can see in Washington DC in the White House the White House gift shop has socks ties and I can opener that you can use to open up bottles and beers when you want to drink anything they even have pictures of snow glows with pictures inside of it that you can shake up and you can see all the snow come up to it they had keychains different pictures stuffed animals all the kind of stuff that you can get for souvenirs that you can get for your family and friends and it was a nice good time to go to Washington DC to visit the White House gift shop that had all the kind of sort of things that you can look at of all our presidents and the world I had a great time and the people there was nice and friendly and they will take their time to help whatever you looking for and their hospitality was wonderful and I appreciate everything they did to make us feel welcome there at the White House gift shop and God bless you and thank you for doing what you do each and every day for you can meet there in Washington DC at the White House gift shop store

Wonderful place to buy souvenirs for friends when you’re visiting Washington DC. The staff at the counter was very friendly and helpful. There are many products in the store that you can choose from. The location was great as well because it’s very close to the White House.
