I was able to get a couple nice things for myself as well as a great gift for a friend back home who dog sat my furry companion. The store is pretty big and virtually every inch has something interesting to consider buying. I wish the online store featured more of the items actually sold in store because I'd probably buy a cactus for myself after seeing the one I bought my friend. The salesperson also gave us some tips on where to visit while we were in the area. She was really friendly and a great resource for us. If you only get a chance to visit one gift shop in the area I'd say this one is your best bet!

I came in after a friend of mine gifted me a box of goodies from here. I just love shopping at local places and I loved our gift so much that I had to go and get one for my friends who were visiting from out of state. As soon as I opened the door I was greeted with a warm welcome from the person behind the register. I walked through the quaint little shop and just fell in love with everything. I didn't realize I was going to spend as much as I did since none of the items had prices on them. A nice young man checked on me to see if I needed help after a few minutes which was nice. I left with several items that they added to a cute gift box. I know where to go next time I need some local gifts.

We call the folks here the "homies" because they're so down-to-earth and chill. They're always welcoming, funny, and part of our daily socializing. The place is spotless--always clean and sparkly. The homies treat you like family and make you feel safe the moment you walk in. They carry a great variety of candies and drinks, including some of the ones I grew up with that I can only find here. On top of that, they have other groceries, ice pops, nachos, vapes, limited jewelry, Dubai chocolate, and even some clothing. If you want to support a local business and have a market you can truly call your own, this is the spot!

I have lived near Little Shops since they opened 13 years ago. I fell in love with the place then…read moreand wanted so badly to open a little business in there, however with two small children, etc, that didn't happened. Over the years, I would go in and visit and continued to love the atmosphere and the people. I will grant, the building is very old. This is the NW valley after all and there are lots of very old buildings that are still in use for homes, businesses, etc. Quite a few of them are showing their age which, to a good many people, it adds to the charm. There have been some roof problems. Gee, live in NM, have a flat roof and you are going to have problems. That may have been where Stewart got the smell from. Personally, I have never smelled cat pee or any other bad smells in there. Why are there not more employees in there? Most of the artisans leave their wears on consignment, so usually, there is any where from 2 - 4 employees in there at a time, sometimes more, and if they are busy with other customers then you may have to wait a few minutes. As for not many cars in the parking lot, I can point to a lot of businesses that have times of the day or days where there are no cars in the parking lot. That doesn't say anything about the quality of merchandise and services inside. There are over 15 different vendors selling their merchandise and services. I would say that at least 80% of it is hand made by the vendors. However, the Avon store carries Avon products, jewelry, and other products that are made by Avon. She also orders some wonderful inspirational art, souvenirs and other items that are made elsewhere. But, that adds to the great variety of merchandise available. Stewart's last statement was, "This place either needs to search out some better vendors or they won't be around too long." Well, that was 2 years ago and Little Shops is still going strong. Lots of people come in for the first time and love the place and there is a lot of repeat business. Please, don't take Stewart's word for the quality Little Shops . Check them out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

I turned around and she didn't even pretend like she was doing something else. She just walked away. I thought maybe it was a coincidence.

I put the chocolate down, said loudly "I can't I'm good conscience spend my money here." And left.

Nothing that had that New Mexico vibe that my dad would actually use or display. Enter the last day in Albuquerque: I still didn't have a gift picked out. I decided to take my chances at the Albuquerque airport. This shop is one of the first shops we came to. At first, I was worried. Airport shopping. Airport gift shopping. Convenience. Touristy. I'm going to make a small house payment on a gift, right? Wrong! I came across these tiles there. It was already on my mind that I wanted something with a roadrunner on it. I knew my dad would display something with a roadrunner proudly. After all, since they aren't in Kentucky, I don't think he has ever seen one. Even in Albuquerque, I only saw two! I ended up with a tile with the shape of a roadrunner on it. Honestly, I almost wanted to keep the gift for myself. This is a great shop to find a quick and inexpensive gift for someone back home. This visit was gift buying, but on future visits, I wouldn't mind having a few items from this store myself. It was made even better by my dad hanging the tile as soon as I gave it to him!
