Red Barn Mercantile

"RBM is my go-to shop for unique gifts. They always have a great selection and the staff will pack and send purchases directly from the store to recipients."

"Visiting from out of town and decided to walk King St and shop the boutiques. This place is filled with all kinds of items, perfect for gifting or for treating yourself. Everything from Declaration of Independence rocks/pint glasses to themed match boxes. Staff was so friendly, the store was clean and well stocked. There's a small clearance section. Some items are a bit pricey but there were price points as low as $4 and others on the higher end. When I went there was a clearance sale on Christmas items and I got these adorable Alice in Wonderland felt ornaments. Their self care/body section was filled with quality salts, lotions, soaps and serums. I spent a good 30 minutes shopping their small store so that I could enjoy everything they offer. If you're looking for something unique, local and quality, check them out!"

"Very cute store in the old town Alexandria area! There are a lot of neat products here, and so much variety to look at. Some things are a little pricey here, but definitely work stopping by and checking it out while in the area! Glad we stopped by. And it goes back pretty far - it's larger than you might think!"

"This is a fantastic shop for amazing, thoughtful, unique gifts for everyone on your list. It is hard to only shop for others when you are sure to find things you would love for yourself as well. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Sanitizer at the door with mask requirements, making it feel very safe to shop during the pandemic. We have been living in Northern VA for a year and I can't believe it has taken me this long to find this place. I can not wait to go back!"

"This is an amazing store. It is the place to go to for almost any occasion that you may need a gift including high quality souvenirs from your DC/VA experience. They carry wonderful tea towels that include ones depicting your university or state. They have a wonderful selection of soap and locations, specialty themed books, pillows and tee shirts along with fantastic greeting cards and children’s section. This is the perfect store to pick up and item or two to fill out that gift basket, VA/Alexandria themed item or hostess gift."
