"Go to the Moose for Gifts It’s your last day in D.C. and you haven’t picked up a “thank you” gift for your lovely Aunt Julee. I know your Aunt Julee well, and I can tell you that the White House snow globe that you were hoping to pick up at the airport is not going to do the trick. So what to do? Head to Chocolate Moose, a gift shop full of imaginative, fun, and funky kitsch. For Aunt Julee, get the Elvis cutting board. She’ll love the image of Elvis done with veggies. (What can I say? You have a weird aunt.) For your favorite cousin, Omar, who acts like he’s seven, I suggest either the MooPopper or the PigPopper. And don’t forget to pick up a card when you’re in the store; you need cards to match the funky gifts. And for yourself, I vote for one of the impossible puzzles that will keep you busy on that long trip home. You can reward yourself for being so thoughtful by treating yourself to some of the chocolates that the store also sells."
