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!

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.

On rare occasions I stop in a store and say wow with the inventory - this place is an exception…read more There is some of the usual tourist stuff, but being off of the main travel routes the focus is much different. What made us stop was the Native American pottery and the glassware. While some pottery is mass produced and geared for the tourist trade there is a huge selection of one off, individualized pieces. Living here has made us discerning consumers of pottery. The other piece was the glassware. It comes from Makora Glass in Poland. The Shop at Old Town offers the largest selection in the US. It even comes with a satisfaction guarantee. If it doesn't fit your decor it be returned. The glassware is beautiful for see and I can imagine even nicer in the right decor. We have to find a place and color for ours. We were impressed will be back to add to our collection of pottery. If you get to Old Town adding this place to your list is a requirement.

The girl that waited on me was very helpful and said if there are any problems with it there is a email address and phone # to call and they would take care of it!

I live a long way away but my husbands family and many friends are still residents and will know. I have no rating for this store

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.

It had a similar feel to other witch-like and crystal stores. 3.5 overall

Just a couple of things to keep in mind:…read more 1. The people who work here are VERY nice but their sales tactics are a bit on the aggressive side. The first time I visited with my husband, one of the employees followed us around the entire time we were there, making us very uncomfortable and feeling like we were being unfairly targetted as potential shoplifters. The second time I visited on my own and once I made my final merchandise selections, the employee at the register continually urged me to keep looking around. 2. There is a wide array of beautiful merchandise but it is VERY expensive - even higher than in the Old Town quarter across the street. Head south to the Mexican border to the Pink Store in the town of Puerto Palomas and you can find most of this stuff for a fraction of the cost. (And get a beautiful cheap meal in the process.) With that said, I DID get a couple of lovely ceramic crosses on sale at a good price and managed to deflect the sales patter.
