As we here at Axios D.C. compiled our favorite last-minute holiday purchases, there were a few D.C.-centric gifts we've found ourselves wishing actually existed.
Why it matters: If any of our readers wanna get us presents … read on.
Below, our list of dream D.C. gifts:
🐼 Panda cuddle sesh vouchers
Yes, we're panda experts (aka, we Googled "pandas"), so we know that they're totally jacked and have a teeth/claw situation that rivals Cocaine Bear. But pandas also famously love supporting local news, so surely they wouldn't hurt us.
- Because, seriously — can you imagine anything better than being big-spooned by Bao Li or Qing Bao? (If you see a human on the Panda Cam … it's definitely not us.)
🏀 An actually good basketball team
The Wizards are currently 3-21 and on track to have the worst season in NBA history, which is actually kind of impressive, if you think about it.
- But still, it might be fun to win a couple games, as a little treat.
💁♀️ One of the Dulles people movers
Nothing kills your spirit faster than getting off your flight and realizing you have to pack yourself into one of these stinky 1960s versions of a Cybertruck.
- But pulling up to the group hang in one? An absolute flex.
🛍️ A revived Foxtrot
Oh, Foxtrot, we were parted too soon. Think about all the hemp-infused seltzer water, whimsically named natural wines and ethically sourced chickpea snacks we still had left to buy.
- Now we're over here "saving money," like complete dorks. But we'd gladly drain our 401(k)s again if we could be reunited.

Cough, cough, "Love Is Blind."
