I had asked my gal pals to take me to a relaxing place- I found myself here at the Feng Shui…read moreInstitute of El Paso! A big peacock greats you at the entrance and as you step inside you feel it- peace and something I cannot describe. Enrique Martin, the owner, is a certified Feng Shui consultant- I am definitely using him for my next redecorating brainstorm! Sometime you can have great stuff but not laid out right and the room just feels off. I had a tarot card reading while I was there by one of the ladies that works in this establishment...she said she did not see a guy in my immediate future...hmmm, I guess I need to take up golf or something! They are bi-lingual here and can assist by explaining about the multitude of gift items they have. Very cool place to gift buy for those folks who have everything (bet they don't have a giant blue peacock ;) !

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.

Small shop with some cute items. There is a tip screen at checkout asking for a tip. For a retail…read moreshop. Super tacky. Five stars for the merch. 1 star for the tip request.

This super cute El Paso snack and souvenir gift shop was one of my last stops in Texas before…read moreheading home to CA :) ! It really is such a gem tucked away in the city in a very humble and simple outdoor shopping center, but certainly worth stopping by :) ! I had Googled the best souvenir shops close to my hotel and "So El Paso" popped up on my search ! I am so glad I stopped by here because they truly have some of the most thoughtful and meaningful gifts you can give anyone, whether you are a local to the area :) ! Or whether you're like me - a tourist who wants to bring back something thoughtful and meaningful to family and friends back home in CA :) ! I specifically wanted quality souvenirs that are really unique to the area or region :D ! I met the owner and also one of her employees :) ! Both of them were really friendly and warm ! The owner told me that she is originally from El Paso, but had lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for about 20 years before coming back to El Paso :) ! If I had heard correctly, I believe her employee told me that this store has been open since 2020. I purchased some Mexican candied cocoa pecans, some churro cookies, and some margarita powder mixes :D ! I purchased some Mexican spice cocoa pecans, some churro cookies, and some margarita powder mixes :D ! So far, I have only tasted the Mexican spice cocoa pecans, which are delicious :) ! I haven't tried the churro cookies and the margarita mixes yet :) ! But I plan to gift some of these to family and friends :) ! They also have nice holiday gift sets that are beautifully wrapped and ready to gift :D ! When I was shopping there yesterday, there was a customer there who seemed to be ordering in bulk for a group of people :) ! She was carefully choosing items to purchase as she was conversing with the owner :) ! So for sure, these are wonderful items you can gift to individuals or huge groups :D ! I wll definitely be back the next time I visit the west side in El Paso :) ! The owner and her employee really go the extra mile to take care of you and your needs :D !
