Souvenir shopping should be fun, but it is easy to be flustered by not knowing what to buy for yourself or for your friends and family. Well, if you are vacationing in Mexico’s Riviera Maya here are some souvenir ideas that are unique and sure to be appreciated.

T-shirts, shot glasses, pens and snow globes are abundant in souvenir shops throughout the Riviera Maya, but if you are looking for high quality, memorable gifts consider purchasing some of the local hand crafts. These gifts will bring the local flare home and are still reasonable in price. Mexico is known for quality pottery pieces, silver work, and textiles. Pick up a piece of collectable Talavera tile with its iconic blue and white patterns. Consider buying a necklace, charm or ring in silver but make sure it has the .925 stamp that indicates it is true sterling silver. Spice up your house with a hand woven rug or blanket or reflect your travels in your wardrobe with a traditionally embroidered sash, shawl, blouse, or dress.

What ever you decide to buy to commemorate your trip, make sure you come home with fond memories in your heart.
