My favorite shop for art straight from Mexico! My biggest issue is not buying everything i see…read more I have several garden animals and birds along with a solid collection of magnets and a beautiful apron. There is a variety of things: - cookware and kitchen ceramics - garden art - paper decor and flowers - jewlery - clothing - there is even a small but cool little soccer shop that is separate business but located in the side/back of this shop. They do have an online site but nowhere near as much variety and items as they have in their magical store. I visit whenever I am in town and I love all the items I have collected. I forgot to mention GREAT prices for this stunning colorful art. Photos attached! Go check them out and support small businesses and ART.

Artemex is a cute touristy store represented on their website with the title, "Mexican arts and…read morecrafts." It's a Total TOURIST TRAP! Which suckered me in immediately with its bright vibrant colors and welcoming atmosphere. The owner was very curious why I was snapping so many photos. With as little knowledge that I have of Gilroy, I noticed immediately there's so much potential for this shop. With more exposure and recognition within the Gilroy community, "Mexican arts and crafts" fanatics have the opportunity to dash in! I totally fell in loooove with Artemex! The cute souvenirs that I know are staples in Mexico are here!!... In Gilroy! How cool is that!?!!! So many hand-crafted items that are perfect for gifts! Though everything is totally overpriced, I appreciated the intricate details of the beaded necklace, cute Frida coin purse with a sturdy zipper, and a commemorative magnet that resembles a dragon to me. The magnet has another meaning to it to Spanish-speaking people but I wasn't able to gather the story and meaning of it. This is the spot if you're into a tourist-like experience miles away from actually being physically in a Spanish-speaking country. It's been a long week so walking around and making selections in this store helped ease my overloaded mind after midterms.

I was told that Johnnies Girl had handcrafted bar soaps so I checked it out. When I came in I was…read moregreeted very warmly by the owner, Patty. Patty was awesome, her customer service was simply amazing and her shop was like a hidden gem in downtown Hollister. The store has many handmade and unique gifts. For example, she has many handmade paintings for noble professions like nurses, CHP, Corrections, Teachers, Moms. This is just one of the many beautiful details this shop has. Patty will also personalize your painting if you request it, not only that, but she text me when it was ready for pickup. Much props for being up to date with comm. I love small business like this, def worth strolling in if your in the area. Supporting small biz is good for everyone guys plus it's way better stuff than what you'll find in other big name stores

Run as a charity with profits going to the local hospital, this is a better Goodwill and they put out the items they acquire unlike Goodwill where the best stuff is never on the floor and instead it sent to vendor. The store has a bit of everything--clothing, home goods, decorator items, books, jewelry, and more. It is the kind of store where a person needs to visit on a regular basis as the items change.

Can't wait to return to the downtown area again! Thank you for your gracious hospitality towards our students, their chaperones, and our teachers. Our students loved being able to buy a souvenir from your shop and have a long lasting memory of our day together.
