Gift ideas Saint-Petersburg (Санкт-Петербург)

The biggest flea market in the city is a real paradise for the hunter. Here you will find absolutely everything, including vintage clothing from the early days of the USSR to the present day. Negotiate with the shopkeepers but not with the older women next to the subway. These are only in rare cases professional saleswomen, most of the time they are retired women trying to make ends meet. Credit cards are not accepted.

In this shop you will find a beautiful collection of handmade majolica from several regions of the country (Yaroslavl, Smolensk). Inspired by techniques used during the Italian Renaissance, this variety of fired clay-based ceramics is distinguished by its painted glaze finish. A rather expensive pleasure, from 10 € for a small statuette, because of the fineness of the work done by hand. A beautiful and original gift idea.

A small store of brocany and antique dealers installed in the Kuznechniy market halle is exactly what you need if you don't have time or feel like going to the Udel 'naya flea market. There are small, cheap items (Soviet postcards, jewelry) as well as superior decor and furniture. Prices are certainly higher than on Udelka, but this shop is at a very central location.
