I need help. My girlfriend wants a "cute" teapot for Christmas and I know nothing about them or where to get them. I'd like to shop locally instead of online (no shipping/ cheap material issues) and I don't mind paying a little more for quality. I think she wants something she can heat on the stove. Please school me on all things Tea and Teapot related.

I was also going to suggest Teavana.

Ten Thousand Villages in Cameron Village sometimes has some cute teapots.

If you want to get her some amazing tea, A Southern Season sells Mariage Frères.

it whistles two notes in harmony when it is ready

TeaGschwendner in CV is no more. Same owners and tea but they ended their partnership with TeaGschwendner.

Speaking of Teapots, my hometown was going to build this teapot museum that would have apparently brought in a lot of tourism. I mean I don't know why people would come to look at teapots but there are apparently some hardcore teapot fans.

But when the president singles out a project specifically as an example of pork barrel politics and wasteful federal spending, the project probably won't happen.
