Covet

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.

Love it for the reasons others have said. Great, can’t-find-elsewhere merchandise. Wonderful place to shop for Christmas, birthdays.

Adorable!
Many cute and unique things. Lots of accessories, many pictures, some funny idealistic items,… Also cool contemporary music.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

Um, go here. Covet has beautiful and truly special merchandise — homewares, jewelry, art, baby stuff, man gifts — much of which is locally-​made. And not in an amateur art show way. In a «wow, I didn’t know Arlingtonians make stuff featured in Oprah magazine» way.
The shop is adorably decorated, smells good, has free parking and a nice staff that put your purchases in cute bags and (free) gift boxes. And it’s super affordable.
Here’s some things I’ve purchased from Covet over the last year: a Jonathan Adler peacock vase, a baby onesie that said «Crying Gets Me Things,» cufflinks made out of Arlington trolley tokens and a $ 2 pin with a beet in workout clothes that said «Beet Got Beat.» Also many, many soy candles.
After you shop here you’ll when like a loser when you buy gifts at chain stores. Fantastic afternoon = Covet + the great vintage shop downstairs + margherita pizza from Pupatella a block away. Do it.

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

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.

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.

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.

Amazing selection of merchandise– really unique! I had a great time shopping and looking around with my friends. The people working were incredibly nice and not at all pushy. I really recommend this place.

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.

Finally a place to find unique gifts, jewelry, home décor and real art that you can’t find elsewhere. Its a perfect blend of eclectic, handmade, charming, traditional, modern but above all fresh and not cookie cutter. I’ve been wanting to start buying «real» artwork/​paintings but art galleries are so pretentiou$, antique stores are hit or mi$$ and retail home stores like antropologie are not unique, they are inherently «mass». When I walked into Covet I shyly got excited about several of the original pieces of art. The owner told me so many details about the artist and the relevance of the particular piece I was «coveting»…and I went home to NY with an amazing painting. Now I want an update whenever new artists are on display. And the jewelry. And the home décor items. Even handmade tee shirts. Covet is in a class of its own. Definitely add it to your shopping route! Now I just wish Covet would open in NY!

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. There is beautiful jewelry, home décor, wonderful candles, and they feature the work of local (and not so local) artists that would brighten up any home. I love this place and am so glad to see something like this in Arlington!

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!

Cool new boutique in Arlington… great place to find unique gifts for your friends (or yourself). Almost everything in the store is handmade. Don’t forget to check out the art gallery!
