Washingtonians are excited as the pandas return, bringing a wave of adorable panda-themed merchandise to enjoy
Washington: The pandas are back at the Smithsonian National Zoo, and everyone is buzzing with excitement. There are panda-themed hotel packages, a pop-up bar, and even videos of the pandas frolicking in the snow. Plus, the gift shop is stocked with all sorts of panda goodies.
Right after the announcement last spring, the zoo added tons of panda-themed products to their shop. Now, there’s even more to choose from, whether you want pajamas, cute stationery, or even a fancy Gucci purse. Let’s check out some of the best panda-themed items available.
First up, the Smithsonian has these adorable black-and-white panda pajamas for the whole family. They’re priced at $52 for kids, $56 for men’s joggers, and $118 for women’s sets. Super cozy!
If you’re into stickers, you’ll love the hand-drawn pandas hugging the National Monument from Shop Made In DC. They’re just $4 at the Georgetown location.
And for those who like luxury, Gucci has some panda-themed items too. You can snag a panda bag charm for $430 or a card case for $330. They’re not directly related to the zoo, but they’re still cute!
