Salt & Sundry

I think Salt and Sundry is the kind of store that West Elm and Williams & Sonoma would open if they ever spawned a gift shop baby. It’s a modern home gifts/​décor store that also has bar/​food gifts, bath items, books, baby stuff, and accessories for men and women. They do have some items that make the store a twist of fancy hipsterness (think handmade expensive items from Brooklyn) and a hint reminsicent of Anthro.
I like browsing the store but I find this place too expensive and fancy for my taste. I have also come here a couple times hoping to find a baby gift, but they have a pretty limited number of choices,
what few choices they have are expensive, and they don’t get new items much. This location is much smaller than their Union Market location which probably doesn’t help.
One advantage they do have over other popular gift stores is that they have a nice variety of bar and food gifts.

I stumbled upon this shop while killing time on 14^th and I was very impressed! The two girls working were adorable and the shop is great. Beyond wonderful products, the merchandising is simple, yet exciting and really fun to look at. It’s a bright space filled with tons of unique little luxuries. I’ve seen similar stores in Chicago (my hometown) but nothing quite as meticulously curated. It definitely gives the vibe that the owner/​buyer buys things that he/​she loves which I really appreciate. Super adorbs love it SFM.

We were walking around 14^th Street after a nice brunch over at Compass Rose when I noticed Salt & Sundry just down S Street. I had that brief moment of trying to place the name, when it finally clicked that Salt & Sundry is that fantastic shop from Union Market! I’ve always loved the wide variety of very cool products that S&S carries, many of which you’d be hard-​pressed to find elsewhere in the District.
Their offerings include beautiful items for the table, a wonderful collection of candles and lotions, letterpress-​type greeting cards, those stylish S’well bottles, and cute stuff for the little ones (including some unique sets of blocks and classic books like «Ferdinand the Bull», which put a big smile on my face). What particularly beckoned to me was the amazing collection of things for the bar, from small-​batch mixers to Moscow mule mugs to more bottles of bitters that anyone could ever imagine. I was particularly excited that they carry Jack Rudy products (and, if you’ve ever had their bourbon cherries, you’d know why).
The sales staff is very personable and are definitely eager to help, so check ‘em out next time you need a neat gift for just about any occasion — everything there will make a great impression on whoever you’re buying for!

I’ve strolled into Salt & Sundry several times. It’s the perfect place to buy small gifts for people you sort of like (cutesy things makes them think you like them more than you do). It’s also the perfect place to buy coffee mugs that are as big as your face — I have six. It’s only my boyfriend and I, and we NEVER have visitors. I’m telling you, these mugs are A MA ZING.

Salt & Sundry is such a nice place. I love the way the store is decorated and love all the unique crafty items for sale. I am just happy that this store has finally arrived in Logan Circle, in a location that is much more desirable and easier to get to.
I came here for a private event, in which a portion of the proceeds of sales went to charity. I like that they support local charities in the area. The sales staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. They will even contact the distributor for you if items are unavailable and then follow up with you later.
Located right above 2 Birds 1 Stone and next to Doi Moi, the store is not too big, but it is very nicely decorated and they have made the best of their space. While I do think that some of the things offered in this store are overpriced and not really worth the price they’re asking for, I do always find a few things that I like to splurge on. I think this store will do well in Logan Circle, given the other overpriced and crappy décor stores in the area.
