“This store has the cutest stuff - most of it local!! I went in and found perfect gifts for everyone on my list and they made it SUPER easy for me to ship everything from there!! They had cheap flat-rate shipping and packaged it up as I checked out to be shipped off! I was also given a shipping number to track the shipment. As someone who lives far away from most of my family, this made it so convenient to shop for Christmas.
Very very kind and helpful as well. They gave me suggestions of items that would go well together as a bundle and offered to arrange the items cutely in the package to make it gift-ready. They had the perfect balance of welcoming and helpful but not hovering while I was shopping.
I will be coming back for more presents and things for myself.”
“Squidlys is a lovely and fun local business that supports local artists. Lots of fun new Mexico themed items and other quirky t shirts, jewelry, bags posters sticker and more.”
“I bring everyone who visits from out of town here! An ABQ staple.
Lots to look at, and great prices!
The owner is so sweet and helpful :)
10/10 recommended for anyone visiting the 505”
“This was a fun store to pop into while we were walking around the downtown area visiting local shops. I had originally found this spot online when I was looking for spots to visit while we were in town as I love oddities and witchy/spooky items. They had a decent selection of sages, incense, candles and gemstones along with a mixture of clothing items and accessories. I am always on the look for taxidermy insects for my collection, so I was a bit sad to see they didn't have a selection of framed insects, bones, etc to check out aside from one framed butterfly on a shelf which I think was used as a decoration.
The prices seemed a bit high on some of the products, but it could be due to its location in a prime touristy type shopping area. The store itself felt cozy and is inside of old building, so the shop splits off into two little rooms. I unfortunately didn't find anything I wanted to grab, but my teen found a candle she wanted. All in all it was worth stopping by to check out and see what they had to offer and the girl working the register was really sweet and helpful.”
“Gift Me Up One of the least expensive gift shops we visited here in Old Town ABQ, as all their prices on merchandise were extremely reasonable compared to a few other stores we visited. I highly recommend making this your first stop before you hit up the other establishments to get your souvenir on.”
“The associate who helped me was very knowledgeable about the product I was looking to purchase and went the extra mile to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase”
“I have seen these towels and decor around for a few years now. The designs/company are at the Lavender Fest, Balloon Fiesta, Los Poblanos, in Santa Fe, Etsy, etc. I love them. They show New Mexico's beautiful art and tradition with the designs. I also like how they support Los Poblanos as much as they do. My only "iffiness" is how expensive everything is. A towel alone is 14$. Tote bags are 28$. The items on the tables are usually even more. I call these tourist prices but.. as much as I don't like looking at the card machine when everything is getting rang up... This is the place to go. There is a gift for everyone and you are supporting a local business. So when I am walking out, I know that it was so much better to shop here and choose colorful gifts over franchise items.”
“Our dining experience at Farm and Table was outstanding. From the cozy ambiance, to the impeccable flavors, freshness, and balance within each dish, to the service which was timely, efficient, and never intrusive, Farm and Table hit a grand slam Valentine's Day experience for us. Their consistency of high standards makes us return to Farm and Table again and again, year after year.”
“Absolutely adored this little shop! There were so many beautiful ornaments, many made by local artists. I purchased my mother a very pretty ornament of the Virgin Mary, and I got myself a cool St. Michael ornament. In addition to their cool and colorful wares, the staff was very lovely. There was only one woman working when I popped into the shop, but she was super friendly and helpful. Would recommend this store to fellow Christmas lovers and tourists looking for cute souvenirs!”
“This was a really cool store out in the middle of nowhere. It's someone's home that they turned into a store. They sell a lot of international stuff and it's interesting just walking through it. There was a lot of stuff and it would of taken me an hour to look through it all but I encourage you to come visit. Who knows what you might find!”
“I was in the store today with a return from last Friday. The owner was in the store and overheard me telling the cashier I was charged twice for the same item. I didn’t notice I was charged twice until I decided to return the item and looked closely at the receipt. The owner gave me a full credit for the two hats even though I couldn’t prove I was charged twice and had just overheard the conversation I was having. The hat was a a snap back and didn’t fit my friend. Thank you again, just know I appreciate the EXCELLENT customer service and you giving me the credit. I will definitely be returning to buy my logo fanatic friend some more gear.?♥️?”
“Out of all of the gifts shops in this area, this was my favorite! Beautifully decorated store, packed with tons of gifts. If you're a foodie, you'll love this place because it has a ton of food gifts. Definitely recommend checking it out! And prices are similar to the other stores nearby.”
“They have the most precious gifts at this store. My family came to town and we spent over an hour looking at all the things. Friendly lady at the counter as well! NOT JUST A TEA STORE! An amazing selection of beautiful crystals and polished stones, with cards to go with. Books, candles, and a Christmas shop next door”
“I was looking for tea cups and their site shows that they sell them individually, but not so, the site hasn't been updated for awhile, I did find chopsticks and they do have a good selection of anime items and jewelery, worth a look around if you are at the mall”
“Excelente servicio y productos únicos! Me a tocado ordenar en 2 diferentes ocaciones y trabajar con Araceli a sido de lo mejor. Es rapida en responder preguntas y hace todo lo posible para que el cliente quede satisfecho!”
“What a lovely space, with unique artwork, clothing, and gifts. I purchased a painting that is now one of my favorite things, and a scented soy candle that I prefer to all the scented candles I have ever used.”
“We frequent Scojo's anytime we are looking for a meaningful procurements. This is always one of our first stops for local unique gift for family and friends. Whether it be for a birthday, housewarming, holiday, baby shower or just because, you are certain to find something! Recently, my husband and I found some early Christmas presents and are planning to head back in a couple weeks as new treasures arrive. The beauty of this shop is that they focus on local artists and try to find items you truly cannot get anywhere else. I would encourage you to stop by and see what wonders you might find! Tip: They have amazing holiday gifts that usually start arriving in October.”
“first off all of the staff were so kind & the manager was amazing! we had lost an item in the mall & returned to see if anyone returned it, at that point they had not. a few hours later the manager calls and said a random person tried to return the item for money & that she told him that the family who purchased these specific items were looking for it and she took the items and did not allow him to return! we were able to come the next day and get the item! words can’t explain how happy i am with this store & the manager!”
“This is a great company, professional, thoughtful and good communication. I sent them pics of an old shirt for art work. Let's talk miracles, Dominic in their art department was amazing. He took the awful pics of a 40 year old shirt and created a new version that's nothing short of perfection. I can not stress enough how happy I am with the final shirts. Fantastic work thanks guys!!!!!!”
“Fun gift shop. Lots to look at, reasonable prices. Shops are located around a central town square with park benches and shaded area.Parking is tight. However there is a lot in the back. Everything is close and not spread out too much so walking around is enjoyable. There are gift shops, mingled with small restaurants and it’s just a really lovely old town Square to visit.”
“I am new to Albuquerque and popped in to Sarabande yesterday. From the moment you enter, it’s an amazing and relaxing vibe! Every item is special and the store even smells great. Treat yourself or someone else.”
“Had a great selection of Mexican blankets for only $12 apiece and we ended up buying six because of the great selection!! Very friendly staff, and even went to the back to help us find more varieties and options to purchase!!”
“Larger gift shop within the airport. Fairly good selection and variety of last minute gifts. Would recommend visiting Old Town Albuquerque if you're interested in more genuine local gifts.”
“Happy surprise today, we heard that edible arrangements made smoothies. We stopped and got one on the way to church and it was delicious. I highly recommend the Green Machine smoothie.”
“When to the store and omg I’ve never been more wowed by a store in my life. Just based on everything they are selling in there I wanted to just get everything because it is so cool, definitely worth checking out!!!!”
