Simple Sweetness!…read more SITREP Such a fun little boutique of a store to kill some time at while waiting to pick up a friend at the Louis Armstrong airport. SETUP Total Tourist Trap, but that is it's charm, and if you happened to accidentally miss the French Quarter, the Marigny neighborhood, or a couple hours trooping through the French Market, at least you have Sweet Simplicity to catch as a final stop before leaving NOLA where you catch some most excellent NOLA, Louisiana, and Saints paraphernalia before you jet out of town. ITEMS GALORE From cooking utensils, food items, gift baskets, themed banners to candles, frames and sports items, you can find so many awesome little trinkets to make into a memorable memento of wildly awesome trip. The trade-off: nothing is really cheap. But I wouldn't expect anything less from a glitzy gift shop. THE LOWDOWN A cutesy, kitschy boutique gift shop to bring back a NOLA themed memento.

From flags to candles to praline mix to home decor, you'll find unique and inexpensive gifts for everyone. I love that they carry things that most other stores don't.

I just left this little store in Kenner. I was looking for a First Communion gift for my daughter…read moreand happened to be in the area so I went inside. Besides me there were three other ladies in the store, all workers. Or I assumed they worked there because one was behind the counter and the other two were putting things on shelves. I walked around browsing for about 10 minutes and not one of them bothered to greet me, ask what I was looking for, or offer help. I didn't find what I was looking for so I eventually left without even a word being spoken to me. The store has some cute jewelry, NOLA themed gifts and other home décor, and the prices were reasonable. But I won't be back to shop because there's nothing like feeling as though your business isn't important and you're invisible to employees. Customer service should matter.

This is an open-air layout more so than stall or kiosk. With that, the space is more expansive and well laid out, which is nice when it gets busy. I scooped up a last minute shirt, along with a couple of waters. Combined it ran about $20, which is about standard for airport shops. Checkout is all self-checkout, but staff are always close by to assist when needed. They kept the space clean and it was well kept. Overall, solid spot to pick up what you need pre or post flight.

The fleur-de-lis, also spelled fleur-de-lys, is a common heraldic charge in the shape of a lily. Most notably, the fleur-de-lis is depicted on the traditional coat of arms of France that was used from the High Middle Ages until the French Revolution in 1792, and then again in brief periods in the 19th century.

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.

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.
