    I flew in and out of New Orleans with my friend Ivy P., and we spotted the magnet racks at this…read moreHudson News stand about a minute after deplaning. We're both moms, and we agreed to raid the place for presents on our way out. This gave us peace of mind for the next five days. No need to run around the French Quarter in search of New Orleans-themed souvenirs. I don't like souvenirs as a rule, especially the cheap breakable stuff you get at tourist-facing gift shops. I've decided, though, that magnets and Christmas ornaments are okay, and was gratified to learn that Ivy had come to the same conclusion. The magnet selection was quite good. I picked two, but there were four or five that would have been acceptable. I had less success with the Christmas ornaments, but that was okay, as my kids don't ask for those. I also picked up a New Orleans postcard, which I failed to post for lack of planning and postage. There were self-checkout machines, but also a nice woman working the stand. She pointed me toward the postcards and tried to help me send the one I bought (the lack of postage was determinative). Hudson News also has snacks and drinks and other souvenirs, but you already know that if you've been to the airport, and I'm realizing, too late, that no one needs a five-paragraph review of a chain newsstand. tl;dr if you need New Orleans magnets, this place has you covered.

    I was stuck in New Orleans for a few hours waiting for my flight and I was happy to see a big store…read moreto do some "shopping". Lucky for me, this nice-size store had a little bit of everything. We killed some time in the book section and I picked up a fun read. Plenty of snacks, drinks, T-shirts, magazines, smart phone accessories (earbuds, chargers, etc), trinkets, souvenirs and local and collegiate gifts. Something for everybody. Great stop!

    As I stated in my review for Hudson News, you can call me old fashioned, as I am a sucker for…read moreanything resembling a newsstand. Perhaps growing up before electronic media took over nearly everything, I loved to visit newsstands. I am a frequent visitor to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and I often visit the Westwin News & Gifts located just outside Concourse D near Dooky Chase. Of course, I always take a moment to peruse the magazines every time I patronize this store. There is a little bit of everything here for travelers. As mentioned, there are lots of magazines and books if you want something to read on the plane. Weswin doesn't carry the humongous selection of books like Hudson News, but there still are plenty of goods books from which to choose. If you are headed home and need a gift for someone, there are plenty of New Orleans styled gifts to choose from. You can get t-shirts, Cajun & creole spices, beignet mix, cookbooks, electronic accessories and New Orleans sports apparel to name a few. There are also lots of snacks and beverages to choose from. Contrary to some of the other reviews, the employees here have always been courteous. Westwin is definitely an A-Ok store for me.

    Neat, little novelties. It's alright. They also have plenty of snacks. Helpful staff. And for that,…read morethree stars. Slightly better than the run of the mill airport outlet.
