On Magazine Street in New Orleans I came across a tiny boutique where everything is Mardi Gras…read morethemed. Mardi Gras is in March, but the preparations have already started. At Trendz everything purple, green and gold is shimmery, sparkly and glittering! You can stand out from the crowd with can't be missed headgear, earrings, rings and beaded things. If your favorite color is purple, you're in luck, your new favorite party outfit is at Trendz. I'm curious to know how this store looks the rest of the year! Since these items are trendy, don't expect the quality to be so sparkly!

Alice and Amelia, Magazine Street (West Riverside area). When I look for nice New Orleans themed…read moregifts -- usually for friends and family unlucky enough to be stuck at home in the freezing Northwest -- Alice and Amelia is certainly my go-to shop. I find it has a large selection of curated, fun, useful and affordable gifts, not the kitschy, tourist junk so common in souvenir stores and supermarkets. If there is something you want, but don't see, ask for the owner, Joann. She will be happy to work with you. (BTW, Alice and Amelia are Joann's delightful granddaughters). Alice and Amelia, on Magazine Street, highly recommended, Five Stars.

This is the cutest shop on Magazine Street! So many great gifts that represent New Orleans…read more I wasn't really in the market for anything, just browsing, but then I found a lovely Magnolia patterned dog collar - perfect for my beagador named MAGNOLIA! Then I found out from the shop attendant that the state flower of Louisiana is the Magnolia! What??? My boyfriend's mom was born & raised in NOLA and loved our dog. She has been gone for a year and half, so finding this out strangely makes me feel connected to her and that she is still around. :*) Anyway, the sweet shop guy asked me to tell him the story of how my dog and I found each other. I recounted the tale of how I found her at PAWS Chicago, where she came from originally (Oklahoma), that she had a brother named "Steel", how she saved me from a life of stress, and then our connection to NOLA. I always appreciate when someone can create a warm and fuzzy moment. So thank you, Shop Guy! The collar is high quality all around - material and construction. I have purchased MANY custom collars for my baby girl and this has been the best so far. It's worth the money because I know it will last for a long time. I will be checking out their website for Christmas gift ideas since we won't be back until next year!

Adorbs! What a bright, delightful little shop at the Irish Channel end of Magazine. If you are a…read moreproud native of the Gulf Coast, or just an enthusiastic visitor/transplant (or gift giver to someone who is), you will find something to love at NOLA Couture. Think of all the symbols of New Orleans and bayou culture and cuisine. Now imagine those artfully integrated into a subtle, tasteful geometric pattern that appears on high quality accessories for ladies, men, kids, and furry friends who want to keep a little NOLA with them always. NOLA Couture has developed custom fabrics and ribbons that show off your Gulf Coast pride in a classic preppy style that you can wear to office or church without coming off too wacky.

I'll probably be heading back to the online store for more gifts for upcoming birthdays. Fans of LSU, Bama, Tulane, SMU (oddly), Florida and other southern colleges can find some neat things here, too. NOLA Couture even can do custom designs for you (your school, business logo, etc.), and shipping is free for orders over $65. Prices are not cheap (ranging from $10 for a laser etched glass to $95 for a loomed scarf), but the quality of the all the goods appears solid. If you are looking for $10 T-shirts about drinking on Bourbon, this isn't your shop, but then you knew that!

My sweet uncle passed away recently, and when his last wishes were revealed I found out that he…read morewanted his urn to be decorated with both Tulane and LSU artwork. Now, I was able to find an LSU urn, and I was able to find a Tulane urn, but both on one urn.....nope. I had no idea where to turn, so I started with vinyl shops. One of them felt quite certain that Design a Latte could help. As strange as my request was, the young ladies at the shop were happy to hear my ideas and help me give my uncle exactly what he wanted. They were professional and the urn was ready in 2 days. I was blown away. The funeral services were today and everyone loved the urn! I can't thank Design a Latte enough! You all are wonderful!

Overall cute and quirky stuff here, take a look around if you're near one or visiting Louisiana!
