Family Shopping in St. Kitts & Nevis St. Kitts The best shopping stop is St. Kitts’ Caribelle
Batik at Romney Manor. Here you can watch batik in progress and hear
an explanation of the step-by-step process involved. You can buy the finished
product in the form of shirts, wraps, and wall hangings. Prices are reasonable
and the batik makes a colorful souvenir of your island visit. We purchased
a batik of a string band that brings back good memories of our island
stays. In Basseterre, duty-free devotees will find plenty of selection
at Pelican Mall on the waterfront. This two-story mall, designed
with Kittitian architecture and tropical colors, features duty-free shops
selling everything from china to liquor to Cuban cigars. Twenty-six shops
make this a popular stop, especially for cruise ship passengers who come
in from the new cruise ship berth adjacent. Nevis Stamp collectors will be familiar with Nevis because of its often-sought stamps. Stop by the Philatelic Bureau in Charlestown for the best selection. While you’re in Charlestown, stop by the Handicraft
Cooperative. Located near the Bureau of Tourism, this little shop
is a must for arts and crafts shoppers and anyone looking to bring back
a Nevisian souvenir. Look for wood carvings, small artwork, and even Nevisian
honey here. It’s a terrific place for kids to shop with just a few
dollars and to pick up a special souvenir that’s Nevisian-made. One of the best stops is Nevis Pottery in Newcastle, where artisans craft the local clay soil into various vessels. The pots are finished over a fire of coconut shells behind the shop. The shop is open Monday through Friday and is located near the Newcastle Airport. Back to St. Kitts & Nevis with Kids |
