This is Washington DC Merchandise store, find all things like gifts, souvenirs or tour bookings. Decent pricing, plenty of options and good staff.
This is such a great souvenir shop that has pretty much anything you can be looking for to commemorate your trip to Washington. I actually stopped in twice during my stay to get some great gifts to bring back home. The store itself is well stocked, clean, and very spacious. The prices can be rather steep depending on what you are purchasing, but overall, I definitely recommend checking this place out.
Had a Monuments by Moonlight tour booked via the Welcome Centre. It's a long evening in all honesty and in January a pretty cold one given the trolley bus windows are open for the duration of the tour. That does make hearing the guide difficult at times but the visited monuments are worthwhile, especially the Lincoln Memorial.
