“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.”
“It was actually my first time going in the store. I was gifted my new favorite hot sauce and ran out, so I went in on my lunch break to restock. Wow! I wish I had MUCH longer to look around the store! So many interesting things! My favorite hot sauce is Chile Addict Naga Jolokia. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Someone gave me a bamboo sponge from here and I love it so much I tracked down the store to buy more for me and for gifts. Imagine my delight to find they have much more than that- dish towels, crafts, bags, all with unique and pretty designs. Check it out!”

“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.”
“We visited here while on vacation. We are always looking for a Christmas ornament to commemorate our trio and this shop did not disappoint. This shop is spacious (some places are so packed it's claustrophobic). Our boys also got to pick out something. Our oldest of course chose some wrapping paper with dogs. While a pain to travel home with (via air) we thought it was great that not all the wrapping paper was just Christmas themed. Staff was very friendly, and we'd almost certainly stop here again if we're ever in Albuquerque.”
“Wonderful store, checked it out while passing through town to get some loose tobacco and tubes. This exact store did not have any but will be having more ASAP as told by the gentleman behind the counter. Went to the other denovo up the street both great stores and have everything you need if not they are there to help. Super kind and helpful if I lived here I would come all the time great selection and kind helpful staff. ?….also to the guy who brought his electric scooter in (with no seat) don’t make a scene for no reason. If your disabled like you claim you wouldn’t be riding a scooter you’d be in a wheel chair ??”
“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.”
“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.?♥️?”
“This little gift shop has a lot of wonderful items. The curator has a great eye and sense of style. Some T-shirts, lots of jewelry, perfume, New Mexican/Albuquerque products, and other items. Highly recommended if you want an artsy gift for a fashionable friend, child, or yourself.”
“I haven't been there for over a year! Same gentleman working there. Prices didn't go up.It's always a beautiful drive going along the Sandias to get there.Wonderful to have this back in my routine”
“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”
“Very nice little gift shop with so many pretty things. I can pretty much buy everything in the store. I wanted some edible goods to bring back home to my coworkers and found a few. The lady who worked there was sweet and helpful. I did find, however, that they had very limited edible goods and I sadly have to say they are completely overpriced just like every other tourist thing and Albuquerque. I bought the same gift and El Paso, Texas For 20% less. And I bought the same coffee at the Albuquerque Walmart for approximately five dollars less. Regardless, my coworkers enjoyed the chocolates.”
“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!”

“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.”

“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!!!!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I stopped into The Old Town Emporium just before closing on a Sunday and the owner, Jody, could not have been more welcoming. She was genuinely kind in that neighborly way you don’t run into often. A lot of souvenir shops feel like the same stuff on repeat, but this place is different. Everything is displayed really well, the prices are great, and there’s something for everyone. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.”
“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!!”
“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!!!!”
