We got a bunch of morroco (spelling ??) sets at a gift store there that were really cool souveniers... Better than just the regular old key chains :)

my best buy, bar none was my timeshare at Aruba Beach Club and then the 2nd week I bought at Casa Del Mar!!

 

But you mean, to shop buy!! I love Kenro Jewelery, every year win or lose I pick up a little trinket..

 

And another store that you will love (prices are high but good stuff) is "Little Switzerland"

 

I bought a world globe desk set for my son, jewel encrusted, just georgous..

Thanks

My best purchase on Aruba is my Agatha Brown cologne. I get lots of compliments on it.

Fisherlady...that's a good one...our best buy was three weeks at the Playa Linda in 1991...has more than paid for itself ...

My best buy was at Touch of Gold.......garnet bracelett & garnet & diamond earrings.......hubby designed the earrings for me.....they made them & lengthened the bracelett in 2 hours for us......;) They seem to remember us there too........saved LOTS on the price........

Aloe lip balm and hand cream from the Aruba Aloe factory. If you haven't taken that tour, you should. They still do a lot by hand with the help of machinery. When we took the tour, we asked where the factory really was. They told us we were looking at it. 4 people were filling tubes of hand cream below us in a glass enclosed room. It was really a great tour. Can't wait to return to this place when we sail to Aruba on Explorer of the Seas next November, 2006. It is time to restock.

Best buy, bar none are the Aruba Aloe products. Prices are the same at the factory, the cart infront of Iguana Joe's, or their new stor in the mall, fisrt level under the Renaissance Hotel.

We went to Aruba a couple of months ago, and I agree the Aruba Aloe is great. Everyone should buy a bottle!!

 

Also bought this fashion ten dollar watch. (My watch battery died while on vacation.) I wear this silly $10.00 watch all the time... I love it!

Well for me living in the Caribbean, I always go to the supermarket and buy cheese. The best cheese you ever taste. That is always my priority.
