Did you know? The iconic White House Seal featuring 13 stars was skillfully designed by Anthony Giannini and first embraced by the U.S. Secret Service and White House in 2010, joining the distinguished Presidential Seal in its legacy of symbolism.

With over 78 years of storied history spanning 16 presidential administrations and created by Presidential Order and U.S. Secret Service, The White House Gift Shop, established in 1946 and privatized in 2012 under governmental guidance, holds an extraordinary distinction. Much like the U.S. Postal Service, it remains the only institution in U.S. history to receive exclusive protections from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. These irrevocable trademarks authorize the White House Gift Shop to uniquely utilize the Presidential Seal, White House Seal, and architectural motifs of the White House itself, all officially recognized as part of its name.

Welcome to the original, authorized White House Gift Shop, Est. 1946®—where American history and elegance converge.
