While the store isn't huge there were still some interesting items I found to buy. Combined with coffee and tacos it made the trip worthwhile. Pro tip- don't park in the $8 lot across the street if lot full. There is plenty of free neighborhood street parking right next to it.

What a fun and eclectic shop! We were looking for murals - especially the GREETINGS FROM BURQUE…read moremural - and found this shop. We saw the plants in the window, and they had the succulents we were looking for as well as other attractive house plants. As we wandered the store, we looked at the gently used women's wear (beautiful dresses, and unique jackets), books, and kitschy items that include items men (and women) would like for camping or traveling. As we checked out, we noticed some fun stickers. I bought one for my niece: " Cool Girls Care." The gentlemen who checked us out was personable and helpful. He told us his store had only been here a month. He also told us where our mural was located - around the corner! So glad we found it and this shop. Both were memorable!

One of the best gift shops in Albuquerque!…read more There's an extensive selection of items ranging from apparel, home goods & collectables to authentic items unique to the region. I was able to get a couple nice things for myself as well as a great gift for a friend back home who dog sat my furry companion. The store is pretty big and virtually every inch has something interesting to consider buying. I wish the online store featured more of the items actually sold in store because I'd probably buy a cactus for myself after seeing the one I bought my friend. The salesperson also gave us some tips on where to visit while we were in the area. She was really friendly and a great resource for us. If you only get a chance to visit one gift shop in the area I'd say this one is your best bet!

Small business at its best.

It's walkable from Old Town Albuquerque but you can also drive and park since there are plenty of parking spots. The things that stood out as unique here was the large selection of Pendleton made blankets and clothing with Native American patterns. There is almost an overwhelming amount of items here so it's good if you like browsing. The staff also knows a lot so if you have questions or are looking for a specific item you can ask away. You can also ask for a discount and haggle the prices if you think it's too much. My friend accidentally broke a Kachina doll that was already slightly broken, he felt bad and requested we come back right before our flight so he could pay for it. Staff was very kind and gave him a massive discount. He has it proudly displayed at his home now!

The blueQ socks wear at the ball of your foot easily, have 6-8 at home that have worn out quickly. The Fab sock cotton is thicker by the ball of the foot.

I really enjoyed this stop. The selection is unreal. It is across from a diner but we did not stop in to eat. The ladies were helpful and made the stop more pleasant.

Nothing that had that New Mexico vibe that my dad would actually use or display. Enter the last day in Albuquerque: I still didn't have a gift picked out. I decided to take my chances at the Albuquerque airport. This shop is one of the first shops we came to. At first, I was worried. Airport shopping. Airport gift shopping. Convenience. Touristy. I'm going to make a small house payment on a gift, right? Wrong! I came across these tiles there. It was already on my mind that I wanted something with a roadrunner on it. I knew my dad would display something with a roadrunner proudly. After all, since they aren't in Kentucky, I don't think he has ever seen one. Even in Albuquerque, I only saw two! I ended up with a tile with the shape of a roadrunner on it. Honestly, I almost wanted to keep the gift for myself. This is a great shop to find a quick and inexpensive gift for someone back home. This visit was gift buying, but on future visits, I wouldn't mind having a few items from this store myself. It was made even better by my dad hanging the tile as soon as I gave it to him!
