Girasol (he – rah – sole’): Savvy shoppers entering Girasol find things in this most unique gift shop not seen in nearby Santa Fe or Taos; in fact many well-traveled folks after stopping in Girasol have remarked it's the top gift shop between New York and Los Angeles. Here, you'll find just about the best, most diverse card selection (LOL chuckles are free)—suitcase too crammed for art? Then take home some cards by local artists. Classic kid’s toys invite nostalgia—even appealing to honest-to-goodness kids. Casual jewelry abounds and for the more serious collector is fine local and New Mexico Pueblo Indian jewelry. Eye-catching decorative and other items—by area artists, crafts people, and various religious orders supporting their calling are perfect reminders of this unique hamlet in Northern New Mexico made famous by Georgia O’Keeffe (her cards and prints can be found here as well as archival note cards printed just for Girasol). From the far corners of the world, are hand-made fair trade crafts; and, fun to fancy guest and dishtowels to kitchen items are all guaranteed to set your home apart from everyone else’s.
Here’s a challenge. Buy one of the many items sold in Girasol with "Abiquiu," the town’s name on it, and put your friends to the real test asking, “So, how do you pronounce this?” We suggest you place a bet before asking that question.
Orders arrive almost weekly; when you come back to the store, and we hope you will on your return trip home, there will be even more fun and unique stuff to delight you.
