Souvenir Shops
Souvenir shops abound in Maldives, and you can easily recognise them with
shocking pink and orange colors painted on them. Souvenir can range from
nice crafty pieces, wood carvings, teas, keyrings, napking rings, fridge
magnets and mats. Remember that almost all of these carry no price stickers
and the price you get depends on the way you negotiate it. Wooded carved
items and handmade photo albums are very popular as keepsakes.
