This super cute El Paso snack and souvenir gift shop was one of my last stops in Texas before…read moreheading home to CA :) ! It really is such a gem tucked away in the city in a very humble and simple outdoor shopping center, but certainly worth stopping by :) ! I had Googled the best souvenir shops close to my hotel and "So El Paso" popped up on my search ! I am so glad I stopped by here because they truly have some of the most thoughtful and meaningful gifts you can give anyone, whether you are a local to the area :) ! Or whether you're like me - a tourist who wants to bring back something thoughtful and meaningful to family and friends back home in CA :) ! I specifically wanted quality souvenirs that are really unique to the area or region :D ! I met the owner and also one of her employees :) ! Both of them were really friendly and warm ! The owner told me that she is originally from El Paso, but had lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for about 20 years before coming back to El Paso :) ! If I had heard correctly, I believe her employee told me that this store has been open since 2020. I purchased some Mexican candied cocoa pecans, some churro cookies, and some margarita powder mixes :D ! I purchased some Mexican spice cocoa pecans, some churro cookies, and some margarita powder mixes :D ! So far, I have only tasted the Mexican spice cocoa pecans, which are delicious :) ! I haven't tried the churro cookies and the margarita mixes yet :) ! But I plan to gift some of these to family and friends :) ! They also have nice holiday gift sets that are beautifully wrapped and ready to gift :D ! When I was shopping there yesterday, there was a customer there who seemed to be ordering in bulk for a group of people :) ! She was carefully choosing items to purchase as she was conversing with the owner :) ! So for sure, these are wonderful items you can gift to individuals or huge groups :D ! I wll definitely be back the next time I visit the west side in El Paso :) ! The owner and her employee really go the extra mile to take care of you and your needs :D !

Wow, what can be sweeter than hand made truffles delivered to your car?!!! And I am not talking…read moreabout bite sized truffles, these are the big ones! So, I am zooming in to a seminar tonight on "the chocolate regimen" hosted by ale Chocolat du Bouchard in Illinois. I have been craving chocolate since I signed up for this event...they are in Illinois and I am in El Paso Texas so I needed some good chocolate for tonight to enjoy while I watch the presentation. The operative word here is good chocolate- not left over Halloween candy, but the kind of thing you would eat if you were royalty. And so, being a Princess in my mind I opted for some truffles from this Hallmark store that is the closest one to me. I called them to see if the were open with current new restrictions. The lady who answered the phone (Pat) said they were not allowing customers into the store but you could place a phone order and they will bring what you want to your car when you arrive!!! It does not get any better than this!

I didn't know of this small market until recently. It's inside the Magic Bistro restaurant. My mom…read moreasked me for a favor so I happily obliged. I came to get a going away gift for her co-worker. My mom specifically wanted a trivet. A trivet is used under a hot plate while serving food. It prevents the table from getting any damage due to the heat from the hot plate. This trivet is made out of ceramic or porcelain. I didn't even know what it really was until I looked it up. Lol. I did but I didn't know that was the proper name for it. My mom requested a specific trivet. This one has a photo of the star on the mountain here in El Paso. People say whenever you see the star on the mountain, you know you're home :) I have to agree with that. There is no place like home or El Paso. It's a very unique place. Anyway... This market sells items like homemade soaps, chapstick, home decor, art and more. The trivet was $18 plus tax. Proceeds go toward the 8-3 shooting victims. A local photographer sells these items, along with more of her art and photography. I wouldn't mind having a meal at the bistro sometime. The staff from the bistro were very nice and polite. The customer service at the market place could've been a little bit better. The two women there were helpful but not entirely friendly. Overall an ok transaction.

Wow, what a gem of a little coffee shop. They sell all sorts of snacks and local goods. There are…read moresome coffee samplers available from Zojurushi coffee machines (TIL those exist???) next to the entrance. The flavors were rich and very representative of the notes they were trying to convey. Fruit notes, chocolate notes, caramel notes.. somehow, they've made a coffee nearly taste like an infusion. Maybe they are, since the cold brew flavors are so unique here. Overall, an unexpected gem of a find in El Paso and one of the best coffee shops I've been to in a while.

My review is for a wrapped gift assortment I received purchased in this Coffee Emporium location…read more The gift assortment was perfectly wrapped in Cellophane wrap with my favorite color bow. Vast and beautiful, the assortment contained tea lovers' items, two different kinds of tea: decaf mango and green tea--a lovely green tea mug with infuser and Happy Birthday Chocolate Bar. I have never visited this location, but seeing how perfectly the gift was wrapped and how neat all the items are, I would say this is a perfect place to get some coffee or tea and pick up beautiful gifts for your loved ones. I am looking forward to visiting soon.
