Puzzled is absolutely one of my top three stores in Albuquerque…read more I have purchased dozens of gifts here for young and older recipients. Anyway, this evening my husband and I arrived just after the store closed. We stood in front figuring out our schedule for tomorrow when the shop keeper opened and asked if we knew what we wanted. Without hesitation we thanked him profusely, I knew exactly what I wanted to gift my eight year old grandnephew. We were in and out in less than five minutes. I'm so grateful for his act of kindness. This is a quality gift store, all puzzles and games are beautifully crafted out of wood. I highly recommend that you patronize this business especially if you enjoy quality over quantity and durability over shoddy construction.

We enjoyed their expansive knowledge of the games (without revealing too much) and the business. They made our visit extra special. We left with a jigsaw puzzle and a game for our son that we used to play ourselves as kids. Thank you Olivia and Jackson! We can't wait to go back and visit when they restock some of there highly sought after puzzles.

Very fun witchy trinkets! Are they overpriced? Absolutely. Are the fun? Definitely!…read more I didn't actually buy anything from here, but it was cool to walk around. There was a hat I really liked but it was over $150 and it didn't look like the print would've lasted very long. The only really unique thing I saw was the little pieces of artwork scattered around, but they were way too pricey. Other than that, nothing all that unique about this place. It had a similar feel to other witch-like and crystal stores. 3.5 overall

This was a fun store to pop into while we were walking around the downtown area visiting local…read moreshops. I had originally found this spot online when I was looking for spots to visit while we were in town as I love oddities and witchy/spooky items. They had a decent selection of sages, incense, candles and gemstones along with a mixture of clothing items and accessories. I am always on the look for taxidermy insects for my collection, so I was a bit sad to see they didn't have a selection of framed insects, bones, etc to check out aside from one framed butterfly on a shelf which I think was used as a decoration. The prices seemed a bit high on some of the products, but it could be due to its location in a prime touristy type shopping area. The store itself felt cozy and is inside of old building, so the shop splits off into two little rooms. I unfortunately didn't find anything I wanted to grab, but my teen found a candle she wanted. All in all it was worth stopping by to check out and see what they had to offer and the girl working the register was really sweet and helpful.

We took two grand kids (ages 5 and 7) to Creativity Warehouse for a pottery class that was…read moreadvertised in the January Cibola Neighborhood alerts. The pottery class was $40 per child. There were only 3 children signed up for the "Kids Clay workshop", so there was plenty of opportunity for the teacher to provide one-on-one attention to them. There was not much direction or instruction from the teacher on how to prepare the clay or proper painting technique to use on clay. She did demonstrate how to attach items to clay by scraping. For this age, we felt there should have been more instruction on designing of the objects and directions on how to paint the clay, so when fired, the color would be more vibrant. The color of the completed pieces was very washed out, almost if they had been just painted with water color. The teacher said the project would be ready in 7 to 10 days and that we would receive a text when the pieces were ready to pick up. It took 21 days and we were never notified for pick-up. We had to personally check 3 times to see if project had been completed and was ready to pick up. Very disappointed in the service after paying over $80 for the class.

I love a good local gift shop…read more I hadn't heard about this new spot in Nob Hill but just happened upon just walking by. It's not a very large space, but it's packed with local goods. They have everything from soaps to jewelry, but I will say it's a little more good focused. They have some in-house scent diffusers which I have one currently in my kitchen and I think it smells wonderful. I believe I went with the vanilla tobacco scent, but they had a few different options and the reed diffusers were super cute. The owner was super friendly and happy to share about all of their different products and where they were getting them from.
