Best Things to Buy~ St Kitts

Look for local artisan creations for the best souvenirs because imported British and North American goods such as crystal, woolens, perfumes, watches and china are priced high. Good local souvenirs include copper ware, stamps, local beer and rum, and local embroidery and fabrics (especially batiks). On St. Kitts, most shops in Basseterre are on Fort Street, Pelican Mall, Amina Craft Market (behind the mall), Port Zante and the Circus area. The Caribelle Batik factory, housed in an old manor house at the Romney Plantation north of town, is a nice place to shop for clothing, wall hangings and fabric. The Island Hopper shop in Basseterre also carries items made at Caribelle Batik.

 

Duty-free shopping is also available on Nevis, though the choices are more limited. We found the best selection at the Cotton Ginnery Mall in the heart of Charlestown. Also visit the Conch Shell Boutique at Nisbet Plantation, the Four Seasons Gift Shop and Newcastle Pottery, a short drive from the airport. The locally produced clothing is especially tempting. Make sure you visit the Nevis Craft Cooperative Shop in the mall to purchase some locally made products.

Hi There

We didnt find much great shopping for anything in St Kitts....I would definitely not count on St Kitts for your greatest selections for anything....We found St Maarten a lot better for that.
