I love Chuco Town (aka El Paso, the 915)! So... naturally I'd love a store that sells…read moreChuco-inspired items. Chuco Relic sells t-shirts, pins, stickers and more. They also sell prints and paintings by local artists. What's even better is that it's a local business (well how could it not be?)! Every time I've gone, the employees are super friendly and helpful. I always end up talking and talking with them. Another thing I like about Chuco Relic is that they help the community often. I should say they also try to help people in our state! Back when Hurricane Harvey happened in Houston, they raised money for them by selling merchandise. I recently purchased an El Paso Strong t-shirt from them for $10. I pre-ordered it so it came out to $10 less. I'm always excited to help local businesses succeed, especially when they help others here and around Texas. If you're looking for an El Paso-inspired gift, this is a good place to go.

Cute gift shop! I've heard of it over the years but hadn't stopped by. I visited Manjar next door…read moreto buy some cupcakes. I decided to check out Vanities after I was finished at Manjar. Several of their greeting cards caught my eye through the window. I was looking to purchase a greeting card for a family friend's 70th birthday. This family friend has been through so much heartache over the past few months. She unfortunately lost two close family members to Covid recently. She and other immediate family members survived it. She's been through a lot more but this is only some of it. Her daughter asked for friends and family to send her a birthday card. I happily agreed to it. I wanted to find a nice birthday card to make her special day a little bit brighter. I had a hard time deciding which card to pick because there's a really nice selection here. I checked out some of the other items for sale. I decided to only purchase the card. I sent her another gift in addition to the card. Aside from greeting cards, Vanities also offers beautiful jewelry, home decor, beauty items and lots more. They have a wide selection of Pandora bracelets and charms. They have a variety of other name brand items as well. This is a nice place to consider if you're looking for a unique and special gift...especially for your mom, grandma, wife, a close friend, etc. The staff was kind and accommodating. They were wearing masks and require guests to do so as well. Support local! :)

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.

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.

There's two kinds of people in the world, the squeamish and the one's pretending not to be squeamish (because come on, we are all afraid of something). I find myself in the openly squeamish group. But I still rather enjoy DT and the occasional goosebumps it gives me. I've been a few times now and I always find myself drawn to the preserved animals. From talking to the owner I know that these animals were not harmed or purposefully endangered in any way, DT just creates art, if you will, from natural death. They do give me the creeps and the worn dolls that adorn the bureau give it that added element of stomach, turning fear (thank you Child's Play and Tales From The Hood). There are also less creepy, but equally intriguing items at DT like shirts with EP inspired themes, purses, handmade jewelry (I picked up a sweet heart with nails and barbed wire necklace last time I was here), cat trinkets, and paintings. Explore and see what cool items you find. Along with the lively owner, you can seek help from her wonderful minions or the guy in the back that isn't very helpful and a bit of a snake. I prefer the minions who will hand you things and make you deeply consider adding it to your home decorations. I'd say the minion's are very animated even though their vocabulary is only that of a three or four year old, but they drive a hard sell and will help you look for anything. Not sure how many days of the week the minions work, but the snake is there all the time so you may just have to deal with him.

How about to the point where your dad already tried to open it up before it was time to indulge? Well that's what happened when my mom had the most beautiful chocolate charcuterie spread from Chocolat. This decadent and rich dessert spread would even put Willy Wonka and his crew to shame. My favorite bites were the hand dipped white chocolate covered oreos and the milk chocolate covered dark chocolate cake bites. I kept grabbing one and the crazy part was that didn't include the options of the chocolate covered pretzels, truffle bites, individually wrapped chocolates and cookies, and so much more. Everything was fresh and that's that my mom had it at the house apparently for about 2-3 days before opening it. I loved every bite.

The chocolate assortment was put together with much attention to detail and care. I highly recommend for gifts of any occasion.
