I did not do too much shopping, though I happened to walk into the Historical Society's museum. They sold a variety of gifts and had an interesting display on the different types of architecture used amongst the buildings.
Theme: Gifts
At both the main marketplace area and at other areas in town there are several folks selling baskets. Often times the weavers will be active making a new basket even amongst all of the tourists walking around.
These aren't your ordinary baskets. I was amazed by the skill and final product.
What to pay: The prices ranged anywhere from few dozen dollars on upwards to hundreds.
Theme: Local Craft
