If you wish, you can buy almost everything on the island that is sold in America or the UK. There are not the largest, but still quite large shopping centres in large settlements.

Clothes, shoes, cosmetics and perfumes, a variety of accessories from leading brands – all this can be found on the island. With one caveat – there are high prices, incredibly high. In most cases, it will be cheaper to buy such goods at home. The territory of Providenciales is perfect for buying truly authentic items and souvenirs that cannot be found anywhere in the world.
One of the most common local souvenirs is tableware made of palm leaves, processed in a special way. It corresponds to the style of the island. Moreover, tableware does not bring any harm to the environment. Of course, if you want you can eat using these plates, but it is hardly the best way to affect the durability of such a souvenir. All kinds of magnets, caps, t-shirts, mugs with the views of Providenciales are really very beautiful. These souvenirs are quite popular among tourists. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Another truly local souvenir is a homemade doll. Women and girls of the island created the talisman and game dolls for many years which are dressed up in national costumes. Now anyone can buy this doll– they are sold in any souvenir shop. Local fruits are a more practical souvenir, they can be easily carried home. A pack of tea is a nice gift for your friends. The tea is a high quality product here. Be sure to buy a few bottles of local rum and a few packages of local exotic sauces. The largest variety of island products can be seen at the weekly Thursday Fish Fry.
