What to do and see in New Mexico, United States: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

September 19, 2021 Natalie Tallman

With its rich cultural heritage from Native American and Spanish settlers, New Mexico has been both a Spanish colony and a Mexican colony, and still retains a strong individual identity within the United States. The landscape is breathtaking, the food incredible, and there is a thriving cultural scene, all of which makes New Mexico, and Santa Fe in particular, a great place all year long.

Keshi

Dear Keshi Friends and Family, Out of an abundance of caution, we at Keshi have made the difficult decision to temporarily halt walk in store service until further notice due to the Covid-19 Health Emergency. Our website will continue operations as usual. The gallery also open for email or telephone orders as well as private Zoom shopping appointments. Established in 1981 as a co-op for Zuni arts and crafts, Keshi has always maintained personal relationships with individual carvers, jewelers, and potters. We continue to buy directly from the Zuni people. Our reasonable prices and complete authenticity reflect this. We host one of the largest selections of Zuni fetishes in the world and we feel honored to be involved with these kind and generous people. We welcome you to call or visit Keshi and experience a Zuni connection for yourself. Elahkwa (thank you in Zuni)

The quality of the native art is excellent. Many of the pieces are actually museum quality as examples of navajo, hopi, and zuni items, especially the pottery and fetishes.

My family always loves stopping by this place when we're in Angel Fire - the owners and artists are so welcoming, so kind, and always happy to take the time to explain their process to you and give you a full tour of the studio and kiln where their works take shape. Every piece they make is beautiful and unique, and it's a great place to pick up gifts both for yourself and for others! Highly recommend stopping there if you're ever in the Enchanted Circle!

Flora is a fantastic sales woman and an absolute joy to meet. There are so many items in this shop to choose from that you won’t leave disappointed. Any Route 66 memorabilia you’re looking for is here from stickers and patches to signs and keychains. On top of the best souvenir shop, Flora has incredibly beautiful jewelry. There are turquoise items and even antique pieces. I couldn’t recommend this shop more. It’s a must stop place in New Mexico. I highly recommend stopping by to meet Flora and support her small business.

This place is a boon for the spice lover or gourmet. Despite the fact we came in moments before they closed, the staff was so nice and helpful (gave a great restaurant recommendation). If you love food - don't miss this shop.

Santa Fe Honey Salon & Tea Shop

Welcome to Santa Fe Honey Salon - a place to discover the spectrum of tastes, aromas and benefits of raw, unfiltered, extra-virgin honey. Working closely with bees for nearly a decade, we have come to know that just as different types of bees have different personalities - from curious and gentle to bold and protective, similarly, raw honey - a living food - is full of personality. Each precious spoonful tells a story that we are passionate about sharing with our guests. Come and experience our selection of honey-based products, such herbal & handcrafted soaps and body care products, candles and beeswax blocks as well as our famous honey drinks. While here, you can shop our ever-changing collection of Ristras & Southwestern Decor that we make on-site. Whatever the season we have something new and special to celebrate Santa Fe style!

What a great experience. They offered free samples to taste. A lot of varieties of honey and honey-based products to choose from! Sprayed and wiped down all surfaces-very COVID conscious. Great customer service. Thank you
