Nearly every time I buy a gift from Covet, it's fun to buy and the person I'm shopping for LOVES the gift. Key chains, kitchen towels, GREETING CARDS, bumper stickers, socks, earrings, notebooks, etc. And the jewelry, Christmas ornaments and artwork I've bought for myself is gorgeous and unusual, made by individual artisans, attracting compliments. read more

Why did it take me so long to stop in? What a delightful shop. I was in the neighborhood and finally visited. Go up the stairs and be prepared to be greeted with unique and thoughtful items. Love the sense of humor, the burning candle made the entire shop homey and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable and they even wrapped my items (beautifully, too, much better than I would have). Shop local! Will be on my regular rotation for gifts (including ones from me to me, the very best kind!) read more

I love this spot!! I always make sure to stop here before an event, birthday or celebration for cute gifts. I have gotten so many unique cards, tea towels, candles and even chocolate bars there. I've always had pleasant encounters with the staff and always look for an excuse to go there. They showcase a lot of local items and I find the prices reasonable. read more

This place has the most perfect gifts for your quirky, artsy, lovely sister or cousin with a fun sense of humor! I just love this store. Everything is also from small business owners, so nice to know you are supporting that community. I saw a photo of the store on Instagram and knew I would find Christmas gifts there. I usually stay in DC or near a Metro for shopping but after going to three Shop in DC stores and not finding what I needed, I ventured a little bit farther. This store is actually near the neighborhood I lived in from middle school through high school, so it was nice to revisit that area now and tell my sister that that's where her gifts were purchased. read more

This great little shop has become my go-to spot for fun, unusual gifts and art. I always find something fitting for giftees and for myself!

Covet is one of my favorite shops. Offering a huge array of jewelry, plus some accessory, baby, and home décor options, it's definitely worth a stop. Covet is small, but well-merchandised, and since this isn't on a Lou Lou scale, you won't be overwhelmed. The overall style is slightly whimsical, and while I don't lean that way, there are still plenty of options for me, so do not let that deter you. I love Shiraleah bags and there are a few options here, so that makes me happy. The owner, Autumn, is quite friendly and knowledgeable about the items she stocks. There's a focus on local artisans, which is great. You'll be glad you visited. read more

Adorable! Many cute and unique things. Lots of accessories, many pictures, some funny idealistic items,... Also cool contemporary music. Don't forget to use Yelp's 25%off coupon! read more

Such a cute boutique!! Great selection of gift ideas and I picked up a few things for myself! The jewelry collection is wonderful. You'll definitely find something unique here! Cece was a great help too! read more

I finally stopped by Covet today. It's located on the top floor of a small house, but it's packed with great stuff for gifts, or yourself :) They have a small, but nice, selection of jewelry and clothing. Their home goods are nice, and often whimsical. I'm a fan of imm Living items, so I was happy to see a few pieces in the store which are sold out online. Of course, I had to pick them up. In addition, they have quite a few things made locally, including art and some great smelling soy candles. They also carry some things for men in the bath section. I didn't expect to find ANYTHING for men in there, so that was a happy surprise. I was able to pick up some nice aftershave lotion for the hubs that smelled a LOT better than the lotion men normally seem to use. The rest of their lotions and bath salts were nicely packaged and smelled great. Covet is definitely worth the stop, so I'll definitely be back. read more

I purchased some adorable cards to send out to friend to cheer them up during quarantine. They were delivered right to my door (no contact) so quickly and the cards are adorable! read more

Clever, tasteful, purdy, a bit bawdy and always helpful -- and I'm not just talking about the awesome owner, Autumn, of this gem in Ballston. Covet resists the twee element of many a gift store and avoids the aggressively fauxhemian vibe of anthropologie. While there's no wanting for jewelry and candles, the selection is wide enough for the dudiest of dudes. My only wish for Covet -- more foot traffic. But perhaps the hidden-gem element of its convenient, but not Clarendon-walky, location helps amplify how truly rare a find this is. Oh, and there's plenty of parking. read more

Covet! This shop, and it's sister downstairs (urban farmhouse) are my absolute favorites. I can do three or four laps around the store and still find new gems. I love this place for hilarious cards, little "thinking of you" gifts, and definitely new mama gifts. It's the only place I'll go for cards -- the messages hit the mark without being lame or cheesy. Plus the feminist / science forward section is so fun. Go go go! Shop local!! read more

A cute little boutique with knick knacks, jewelry, and stationery that would make great gift items. I suppose that what sets this boutique apart from the rest is its whimsical and imaginative baby and toddler section which you usually don't see in a boutique like this. The art work is also unique although not to my liking. The price is still pretty expensive to me ($50 for an apron??). But I understand this coming from an indie boutique. read more

Stopped by this store for a hostess gift. The owner directed me to three solutions and listened to me describe the nature of the event. So nice to have friendly small businesses in our town. Adorable items (soaps, dish towels, fun items..). Will return often! read more

Such a cute boutique! Great for a last minute present or simply shopping around for a new piece of jewelry. Everyone that works there are so nice and helpful! They wrap your purchase adorably too so you don't have to worry about taking care of that yourself. The prices are all over the place from $10 earrings to 300 dollar random items. So there is really something for everyone! read more

This review is based solely on the fact that these folks are incredibly lame when it comes to their hours. On Yelp, their hours are posted as open until 6 pm on Saturdays. I came at 5 pm and the clerk was closing the shop. I then ask her if they will be open Monday and she says yes, and their hours on Yelp reflect this. I go back today, Monday, just to find that they're closed. Lame! They have lost my business. read more

A fun local shop for jewelry, art, and various gifts

I love this local gem! Autumn was so friendly and helpful during the COVID shutdown and worked directly with me to pick out gifts for friends and hand delivered them to my house. She truly went above and beyond. We are lucky to have such unique small businesses in our community! read more

My favorite place for gifts and laughing. Autumn is amazing and will special order anything you want. This is my happy place!

Covet is my "go to" store when it comes to buying gifts for my wife. I'm generally not great at buying gifts. But everything in this store has such personality to it, I always find something unique and my wife always loves it. read more

Cute quirky store with lots of fun and whimsical baby items and reasonably jewelry. Love the selection of locally made items!

Cute lil boutique. Fun interesting things. A great place to stop for a quick gift for friend or baby

I visited today for the first time and definitely recommend a visit for everyone! I was going in to find a graduation present for a neighbor and found exactly what I was looking for. They have all price ranges, lots of different products, and lots of different styles. It was a breath of cool air on this humid day! read more

This is such a great shop! I knew I would love it when I saw the brightly colored steps, complete with lyrics from a smiths song. If you are looking for something girly, lovely, sweet or adorable this is your stop. I got several notecards and I'll be coming back for more! The prices are really fair for the unique products. There is a ton of great art and jewelry and gifts for new moms. Why are you still reading this? Go! read more

Covet is my favorite place in the world to shop for gifts and little treats for meeeee. I've taken home original art, an octopus ring, amazing candles, and a refinished antique chair, among many treasures over the years. The owner, Autumn, has such cool taste, and the local focus and modest prices make me feel awesome about shopping here on a regular basis. read more

Covet is a unique little shop that offers one of a kind/fun gifts. Things are hand made by artists so the prices can't be as low as going to a big chain store. Try not to go there with an expection of getting discount deals, but instead go to explore the wonderful things that can spark your imagination. My boyfriend purchased a sterling silver and pearl necklace for me that I love! read more

I really like this little shop. They have a great selection. I can always find a unique gift (for myself or a friend!) A fun way to shop small & local. read more

Adorable shop in a unexpected place. I stop by once every few months in hope of new items. The card section is definitely the best. I do wish there were more new items added, there are only so many candles and kitchen towels I can buy! The art room is too expensive for me but it's also cute. read more

Fun and funky, yet stylish and sophisticated. My sweet family bought me a great necklace and earrings as a gift. Stopped by and was surprised to find amazing original art and housewares too. Definitely stopping in more often. read more

This place is just what Arlington needed. A funky, hip, stylish boutique. I've visited several times and always found the merchandise to be fresh and exciting.

I love this place and am so glad to see something like this in Arlington! read more

It's a little off the beaten path, but SOOO worth a trip! I love going to this hip little shop for gifts for friends and family.

And of course I always end up leaving with something for me too. read more

Once again, I found just the thing I needed to find at Covet! I came here from Pentagon City, still looking for one more gift to mail to my mom for her birthday. Several appealing items were not suitable for mailing, and I was starting to lose hope, when Autumn, the owner, showed me the perfect necklace. A bonus - it was made here in Arlington. With my main mission accomplished, I had time to find a cute necklace for my daughter's birthday and a handmade throw pillow to spruce up our tired couch. Both of my finds were bargains and were also made in Arlington. read more
