About

This shop is for anyone who loves the weird, the funny, and the absurd. Chocolate Moose has been DC's go-to gift and gag shop since 1978, selling campy cards, tacky toys, bizarre books, and artful accessories. The owners clearly buy what amuses them, and they're quick to offer advice and play along with customers.

It's a feel-good spot downtown with a strong card selection. Keep in mind Yelp lists it as potentially permanently closed, so call ahead before visiting.
