“Tiny little shop with beautiful vampire pieces everywhere. I recommend getting a book from their selection. Asked if I could get a bite and wasn't entertained. Still, I'm sure they get asked that all the time. ? ?♀️?♂️?”
“One the best Magazine St boutiques! So many sweet treasures-- cute NOLA tees and prints, earrings, lovely lotions and nail polishes, little ceramics, and some sweet vintage finds. Highly recommend popping in!”
“We never actually went inside the store because it was just closing, but we were taking pictures in front of the “welcome to New Orleans Taylor’s version” decorations in the front and an employee ran out to take a picture for us. Next time I’m in NOLA I will definitely come back when they’re open and shop around, solely because of the kindness of that lady!”
“This is a wonderful gift shop, that specializes in local artist made items. If you are looking for quality items to gift or take home as a souvenir of your visit to New Orleans, this shop is a great choice! The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The offerings are interesting and well made. The store is pleasantly arranged and easy to browse. Prices are fair. (This is NOT a French Quarter junky souvenir shop!)”
“They have a large and unique selection of NOLA gear. There's t-shirts, magnets, stickers, jewelry, etc. My biggest plus was that the shirts were also offered in a women's cut. This is so nice for someone like me who hates how the unisex shirts fit. And they have a bathroom that doubles as a fitting room. ? So a big thank you for my new NOLA shirt! ???”
“Absolutely awesome gallery. Michael and Frances are my hero's. They offer the BEST customer service. My ring needed repairs and even with the Pandemic they still offer the BEST service.”
“This place is so cute. I love the representation of other artists here, and the owner is so friendly and helpful. Great place to buy souvenirs or gifts for that special someone, especially since the offerings are often unique & handcrafted. Definitely recommend a look-see!!”
“HUGE Dirty Coast fan from Texas! I stop by this store or their French Quarter location anytime I am in town. The staff are always super friendly and I can't get enough of their shirts.”
“I always love museum gift shops and this one does have a variety of coffee table books, unique gifts, art pins and postcards. It has a truly excellent children’s section (complete with pillows for kids to sit and look at books) - in fact I’d say that’s their best section. However, I think it could work more with local artists for more variety in gifts. And they could have a few more clothing items - when I went they only had one type of t-shirt.”

600 Royal St, New Orleans“Was told about by a friend who lives in New Orleans. Found shop in French Quarter and selection of unique items was extensive. From small nicknacks to some larger items I did not explore. I was looking for some gifts to take home and was told of an item I easily found after asking one of the employees about it. I wanted some soup cups with southern style recipies on them, namely jambalaya, red beans and rice and sausage and chicken gumbo. Found them quickly and was happy with their appearance and sturdiness . If I get back to New Orleans again, I will try Very hard to make a trip back here to explore and find something I know I will treasure for a long time.”

700 Royal St, New Orleans“We often bring out of town guests to shop at the Forever New Orleans on Royal Street. It is a nice spot to shop for souvenirs and gifts. The shop has a wide variety of merchandise of decent quality and we find the staff are friendly and helpful. This is a good spot to shop for locally themed goods.”

909 Bourbon St, New Orleans“All of my experiences have been FUN FUN FUN!! They have extremely cute lingerie, yet some can kinda be up there in price, but like everything else nowadays, you're paying for the designer.”

630 Chartres St, New Orleans“The store is beautiful! The customer service was Ah-mazing!! I bought 3 things from here for my daughter for Christmas and she looooved all 3! The later gator door mat makes it feel like home. The street tile magnets are decorative and so much fun to play with and leave messages. The Nola bucket list book has brought many laughs and “ I’ve done that’s “. In a world where customer service barely exists anymore…Dirty Coast is an exceptional find! Love Love Love this store!! ??”
“THIS SHOP WILL MAKE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. So helpful and kind, perfect for every occasion in your life! whenever I need a pick me up or a gift, this is my first stop <3”
“Amazing gift shop! They have a great selection of souvenirs at different price points, the magnets are better priced here and the quality of the products is way better than the other gift shops.
I loved it so much that I went to that store three times!”
“MUST SEE for anyone looking beyond the tourist traps and especially if looking to support underrepresented voices. A great array of handmade and unique accessories, apparel, cards, and art. Immaculate vibes and great music. Look for the adorably sleepy Chihuahua!”
“It just dawn on me that my favorite hot sauce, Tabasco is from NOLA. How did I not know this! One of the most famous sauce! Best ever! So I had to go inside! So Tabasco doesn't just make the one type of hot sauce. They have many others. I know they got the green one. But they have 10+ more! This place is so cute..right next to Jackson square. Easy to spot! They even have Tabasco chocolates! I ended up with a few tiny Tabasco sauce to keep in my purse. And I think I just scored the after Christmas Sale too! Got some cute Tabasco Sauce Christmas light covers. Very cute!”
“Beautiful handmade masks, some of the best in town. You will be able to see the difference in workmanship from all the mass produced ones throughout town, as soon as you walk in. Well worth it!”

522 St Peter, New Orleans“Items in the store are beautiful. But even though I bought two items that were suppose to be on sale, neither one rang up that way, even after I had pointed out the sale price to the gentlemen. Also, he removed the one sticker that had any information about when the item was made, etc. As it is for a gift I would really have liked to have had that. Both things are disappointing.”

729 Royal St, New Orleans“When my partner and I visited New Orleans last December, we fell in love with an Absinthe fountain at Gem De France. We weren't able to buy it at the time but kept thinking about it on our return to Australia. We decided to contact the shop about the item and proceeded with the purchase. It was a delight dealing with the owner. The item arrived carefully packaged and we're very happy with the fountain. This shop was among many delights we found in NOLA.”

715 Bourbon St, New Orleans“The best gift shop to stop into. The owner was so nice! He offered multiple times to help/asked if we were looking for anything in particular. The gift variety was awesome and the prices were perfect. He wrapped fragile items without us having to ask.”

515 Decatur St, New Orleans“While going down Decatur Street in the French Market, we did a little souvenir shopping and had the Mask Factory bookmarked on our places to go. Although they sell souvenirs, this store primarily sells masks and they're sold at varied price points. Starting prices seem to go for about $16.00+ They have an amazing selection too. You'll find a vast selection of feather, blinged out, steampunk, Mardi Gras and Halloween masks. No matter what the season, they got you boo. My husband found a cool mask here and plans to use it for an upcoming Halloween event. If you're in the market to shop for a mask, Mask factory is a good place to visit.”

517 St Ann St., New Orleans“Ma Sherie Amour is an awesome shop conveniently located in the Jackson Square. Sherie of course is the owner and is the prime example of a Genuine Southern Lady. Definitely a shop to visit to get all your New Orleans souvenirs.”
“FABULOUS 'LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING' STORE IN THE FRENCH QUARTERI love this store. It’s full of whimsy and fabulous products. I come here each time I’m in town. My first purchase, ten years ago, was a super soft printed T-shirt, one of their original designs and the product that launched the whole enterprise. It was so nice that it went missing from my hotel room in Miami less than two weeks later!They have nine locations throughout the city and surrounds plus an outlet at Louis Armstrong International Airport, for those last minute purchases.”
