Where to buy gifts from around the world California

There are few truly interesting stores on Venice Boardwalk, the busy street that stretches along the beach. Nevertheless, this one sells authentic Native American handicrafts: dreamcatchers made by the Cherokees, turquoise and silver jewelry made by the Navajos, clothing, woven blankets, pottery, baskets... Each object is signed by its author. A very nice store with reasonable prices.

A visit to Old Town is inseparable from a visit to its market, ideal for buying travel souvenirs. There are over 40 stores selling a choice of Mexican textiles, leather accessories, blankets and ponchos woven in Peru, Ecuador and Guatemala, Amerindian dreamcatchers, silver and turquoise jewelry, sombreros, tea and coffee, dolls, Peruvian-made mirrors, objets d'art... Plus: every weekend, stalls from the Harney Street Market add to the mix.
