Still need a few last minute Christmas gifts? The shops around Capitol Hill have you covered! From kitchen and home goods, to presents for your four-legged family members, the Hill has it all. Hill businesses will be open all weekend.
Not only that, the Flea Market at Eastern Market will be open all weekend AND on Monday.
A few of our MANY favorite stops:
- DC neighborhood maps at the Cherry Blossom Creative stand at Eastern Market.
- District Design has beautiful DC letterpress cards, and she lives on the Hill if you want to talk to her about custom orders.
- Everything for the cook and entertainer at Hill’s Kitchen, especially the state-shaped cookie cutters, DC-shaped cutting board and the platters with DC landmarks.
- All of the fun home goods at Homebody.
- The games for kids and adults of all ages at Labyrinth.
- Riverby Books sells Robert Pohl’s Wicked Capitol Hill and Tim Krepp’s Capitol Hill Haunts, which are fantastic insights about the neighborhood and written some awesome local authors.
- Metro Mutts and Howl to the Chief have lots of gifts for pets!
- Bike lovers would love gifts from DC Rider, Capitol Hill Bikes and City Bikes.
- For the art and music lover in your life, consider gift certificates to CHAW, Atlas Theater or Shakespeare Theater, which holds classes at their Hill location.
What are your favorite local shops for last minute gifts?
Will the flea market be open from 10-5 today? Or different hours?
Also, does anyone know where I can find a quality Capitol Hill sweatshirt (in store, not online)?
That’s a tough one – I haven’t actually seen any in stores. I’ve seen stuff with the DC flag, but no sweatshirts. How about a long-sleeved shirt from Frager’s instead? They’re pretty cool looking!
I believe that the flea market will be open till 5pm today.
