We stopped by our first day in NM and there was an artisan market outside--we talked to a few of the artists there and they said it was the first time they've done the event, so we felt pretty lucky to have randomly stumbled into it. We made sure to swing by again on our last day to grab some stuff to take home (art print, sticker, turquoise stuff, & book). A good haul that will help me remember how awesome our trip was. Check it out.

While the store isn't huge there were still some interesting items I found to buy. Combined with coffee and tacos it made the trip worthwhile.

Lots of high quality games, high grade soaps and incense, and interesting doodads. I was smitten by the paper star lamps above, will have to return for those...meanwhile, I left with a box of fancy matches for moi and a solar spider for my son. What a hoot!

The last time I visited, his store was on Wyoming/Montgomery. The store had a lot to offer my company. They happily browsed through the isles. I was impressed with his stock, it was clean, and it was well organized. The owner started to check us out, but his grandson came to relieve him, so he finished the transaction. They were both friendly and knowledgeable about chiles. He also roasts chiles when in season. We found the perfect ristra. We'll be back.

One of the best gift shops in Albuquerque!…read more There's an extensive selection of items ranging from apparel, home goods & collectables to authentic items unique to the region. 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!

It's walkable from Old Town Albuquerque but you can also drive and park since there are plenty of parking spots. The things that stood out as unique here was the large selection of Pendleton made blankets and clothing with Native American patterns.

You can also ask for a discount and haggle the prices if you think it's too much. My friend accidentally broke a Kachina doll that was already slightly broken, he felt bad and requested we come back right before our flight so he could pay for it.

Update: I called and spoke to the owner the next day about one of the flowers dieing and some of…read morethe other fully bloomed ones that might be soon to die and he stood by his product and refunded the entire amount. It's good to see that I was right about the customer service being strong on my last review. I didn't even ask for a refund, it was offered by the business owner, I'm glad old school American customer service isn't dead in this country. Previous review: I wanted to really be super positive so I'm rounding my review up to 4 stars. They were really nice in the store and accommodating even though it was right before Valentine's Day. So that's gotta be worth something. I feel like the customer service and general friendliness was worthy of 5 stars. I just had a few gripes, so for one, I wanted to make my arrangement bigger , but it looks like by doing so it ended up looking cluttered. I think I would have benefited from having a larger vase , and maybe different placement of stuff. What ended up happening was they just added more flowers to a pre existing arrangement so that's why it looked a bit smashed. In pictures it doesn't look like I spent over $200 but in person it does look a bit better. I was also hoping for roses that weren't fully bloomed, they replaced a couple for me that were like that but when I came the next day to pick them up I noticed many more that were fully bloomed. Which isn't a problem per se , but it means the flowers probably won't live too long because they are at the end of their life cycle. The bow was really pretty I wish they had a larger one when the arrangement got bigger you couldn't really notice it as well as you could on their pre arranged ones. I kinda wished I would have had an option to design one from the ground up , but I get it, it's Valentine's Day people are busy. I'm also not going to say anything negative about the price, because it just seems like Albuquerque in general just has really expensive flowers. I'm originally from LA and we have a massive flower market with florists in them where we pay half of the prices in this town. So I've been growing accustomed to that part. For me, the thing that sets apart a florist from let's say, getting flowers at Whole Foods, is the customization , fine details, artistry, execution, and design that you miss out on by buying flowers from a place like that. I know times get busy, just hoping next time I'll have the forethought to get more involved and ask if it might look more full in a bigger vase or if I should go buy a larger bow myself and wrap it, etc. Ya know? Just to make things perfect. Ultimately a perfect gift is priceless
