1 Review for Obama Inaugural Souvenirs Center
Bring your camera, because they have a presidential podium, a replica of the Oval Office, and several Obama cardboard cutouts for your posing pleasure. (When I asked, the staff kindly photographed me looking studious behind the Oval Office desk).
I came looking for stocking stuffers for my Obamaphile friends. I walked out with a nice inaugural golf towel, a couple festive White House postcards, and an Obama action figure (You can make him point dramatically).
The tchotchkes weren't quite as tacky or funny as I'd hoped. There were no velvet paintings or irreverant slogans that you might find at online shops like Cafe Press. However, the store did sell Obama bobbleheads, Obama hot sauce, playing cards, and buttons the size of plates. And of course the usual magnets, mugs, and first family t-shirts (yes, some of the shirts even depict Malia and Sasha),
For such a flag-draped ultra-patriotic store, though, there were an awful lot of knick-knacks with "Made in China/Vietnam/etc." labels. Oh well.
BTW, this is a private shop with no connection to the Obama administration or the official inauguration committee.
