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.

Old Town oozes charm and culture. You can visit a historic chapel, roam the many cute shops or grab something to eat at one of the restaurants. There's a lot of really interesting Native American keepsakes and art to check out as well. You also never know what could be going on here - I happened to stumble into a quincenera and visited around Day of the Dead, so there was some really neat decor all around. If there's anything you must do in this city, it's Old Town!!

My friend had a bunch of Native American shops bookmarked and they were all in this general area so we came to do multiple things at the same time. The shops here are closer to the reservation with lots of Native American artists so it is much more affordable than the same thing in Santa Fe. It is a bit touristy but we are tourists so we enjoyed it. Many shops had unique items that were hard to find and even though it was mainly for show I loved seeing the dried chili everywhere. The area has legit history and age and it was great being able to see and do so much without moving our car. Parking was easy and from the town square you can get to many different shops, restaurants, and attractions. The church was a nice fast stop, but I liked the exterior more than the interior. The vibe and architecture are perfect American Southwest and we enjoyed our time here. There was also a Pokemon card shop I grabbed some cards for the kids from!

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. There is almost an overwhelming amount of items here so it's good if you like browsing. The staff also knows a lot so if you have questions or are looking for a specific item you can ask away. 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. Staff was very kind and gave him a massive discount. He has it proudly displayed at his home now!

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.

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
