You can add a monogram to just about anything for sale at The Preppy Pink Pony, including baby gifts, tote bags, key chains and ponchos—or bring in your own items to have them personalized. Owner Virginia Kennedy got her start selling ribbon belts and other preppy items out of the trunk of her car during her daughter’s horse shows and, before long, she had her own storefront. For 16 years, this McLean boutique has been the neighborhood place to score fabulous hostess gifts. –Adele Chapin
