True Desert Gifts, traditional and rare and soon not to be made anymore Desert Cactus Candy only available here in Arizona. Consider what the Covid-19 Plague has done and the effect of voting for the Law of Demos, creating unavailability and the elimination of traditional products, of more importance than realized. So find a Az. Gift Shop and purchase a delicious Cactus Candy, Jelly, or Cactus Honey, because it is most likely will be the only opportunity to do so.Prof. Steve ScottProspector

Buying a gift has always been a tough task for me. However, as soon as I entered this shop, I found so many things out there. The best part I liked about it is that all of them are at an affordable price.

Awesome! A friend and I went there and we really enjoyed this hidden gem. There is so much to look at and the shop owner was very charismatic and friendly. I think we were there for about two hours. It may be a small store but I found it to be truly amazing. I do plan on stopping by again.

Anyone remember Jutenhoops? This is a very scaled down version of the beloved store us old school Phoenicians visited way back when. You always had to go before you saw a movie. They some of the same type of items carried back in the day. Of course, itll never be the same, its still fun to visit & reminisce. Great selection of offbeat items & gifts. They also support local artist. Plenty of free parking. Give them visit.

This is such a unique place. The owner is fantastic and a joy to talk with. He helped me find a lot of gifts for my list and everything was a huge hit! I gifted myself as well. Because there was so much I just loved! I cant decide what I love most, the local items from local artist or the the fact that this store does so much to support those artists while making the item available to those of us who fall in love! I passionately encourage people to shop here and go with an open mind because it is a fun experience!

As the name states it is unique. Youll find just about anything that represents AZ. And the owner who is from the Midwest (Minnesota I believe) is just a delight.

Fantastic gift shop! Was looking for something to do and this place has things you didn’t know existed. Super fun gags and nic-mags to choose from. The owner is super friendly and nice and can provide local places if you in the dark.

Review №24

An awesome little shop with weird things you dont find in a typical gift shop. There are many items made by locals, incense, interesting foods, and more. The owner was super nice and we had a great conversation about the locally made specialties like dream catchers made by the Navajo or wind chimes, jewelry, rugs, bags, etc.I felt like this was a great support for the local community as a guest/ tourist in the area. However, its obvious that many residents go here to shop too. There are lots of wrapped gifts that are mystery buys and are apparently very popular too. Theres interesting candies made with scorpions and crickets if you want something wacky! All in all, great place to visit and give business to!

Review №25

Wonderful gift shop with local artists creations and unique gifts from around the world. Something interesting at every turn and the owner can show you more of things youre probably interested in that you may have missed. They sell period panties for nerds!!!! This store is very LGBT friendly, theres colorful things as well as lots of gothic dark things. Lots of local artists jewelry. Lots of sculptures.

I’d give no stars if I could! Place does not respond back when looking for your order! The owner was extremely rude when I called. Will never order from here again! Not kid friendly! Adult items! No cover!

Review №31

Have been wanting to shop here for a long time . Finally was able to check it out . LOVE IT!for those of you that member jutenhoops - its a baby jutenhoops . The big wood counter that jutenhoops used to have is there. Im hoping that itll become as big as jutenhoops some day! For all you Witches out there heres where to get stuff for your spells. Theres lots of beautiful art from local artists - jewelry, crystals, candles, stones, shot glasses, cactus candy, posters, etc... you could spend at least an hour just looking at stuff. The gentleman that was behind the counter ( owner i think ) was very pleasant, nice to talk to, answered all my questions, very friendly. LGBTQ friendly. Love it

Review №32

This is the BEST little gifts store youve never heard of! With such an eclectic selection, I have never left disappointed. The only real struggle is not picking up a little something for yourself while youre there. Bonus- LGBTQ friendly (aka get your fine selves here and support your family!)

UPDATE: Retuned today 3-14-21 and as promised, there was plenty of new interesting stuff. The owner was super friendly and helpful just like before. This place has become a must stop everytime Im in the area. If you cant find a gift for someone, including yourself in this store, you may be a lost cause.Cool store. Set aside enough time. LOTS of stuff to look at.

Review №38

Unique being the operative word! A variety of gift ideas, trinkets, local Arizona themed items, and even some gag gifts. The White elephant gift concept us clever and would be GREAT party conversarion starters. Some of the local artisan items were beautiful and felt hand made and one-of-a-kind. I felt prices were a bit high, but his competition is lacking so I guess he can justify the higher price. Customer service was great!

Review №58

If you’re looking for a gift for a fun person, and you don’t want to give what someone bought, this is the place. Great gifts, or items for yourself, from the wacky to the artistic to the slightly twisted. Chad will be your guide to the store. Gay friendly, atheist friendly, dark humor friendly, everyone (but the uptight) friendly.

Review №60

Have been trying to get to this place since they moved. Was very disappointed, I see occasional interesting posts on Facebook and expected to see a well curated shop. What I found was a place that sells as much stuff as they can cram into every corner, literally, even the ceiling. Its the kind of tourist shop you find in more touristy areas like Sedona or old Town Scottsdale. If you are looking for a gift for someone and have absolutely no idea what to get them, they probably have something here that will work. It just wasnt what I expected, sorry.

Awesome little shop that I stumbled upon when looking for a unique and thoughtful Mothers Day gift. They had some great funny cards for the occasion, as well as any occasion cards that can be used for anything that comes up. I was able to find something great for my Mom as well as my Aunt. Very unique items from local artists that I never would have been able to find at a department store. The man running the shop was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgable about everything he was selling. 10/10 would recommend!

This is my go to gift store. I hate to gift boring stuff. In addition to hard to find seasonal decor they sell fabulously funny/touching cards. I really love the glittery mermen, cool beer cap earrings and extremely detailed glass hummingbirds! My wish/want list is long...

Awesome place to shop local for unique gifts and knickknacks. I cant wait to see their new location after they move. I was recently informed of this place after speaking of how I used to love going to Joot & Hoops as a kid at the Colonaid Mall. I used to spend hours in there.

I went to this place with my girlfriend awhile back. It reminds me a lot of Jutenhoops, which used to be a store up in Town & Country Plaza. They have a lot of cool quirky things, from pagan stuff to kitschy things, and everything in between. I like getting The Mountain t-shirts here, and Chad is a real sweetheart.
