Quartier Habous (the new medina) is home to a largish souk area and we didn’t see a lot of tourists there. There are numerous woodencraft shops, which makes price comparisons easy!
What to buy: You can shop for traditional wooden souvenirs, like chess and toula sets (backgammon), the smaller ones make great gifts for friends.
What to pay: Depends on what you want to buy, but generally the more pieces you buy, the cheaper it is. I paid 50MAD for the smallest size toula/chess set.

Take a petit taxi to Quartier Habous (the new medina) and wander through the souk area.
You can visit Arabic carpet shops and also handmade copper and brass goods.
What to buy: Sit in a carpet shop, drink some mint tea, and patiently bargain over a rug.
What to pay: Depends on size/material/manufacturing process.

Casablanca isn't really the place to go searching from shop to shop. The city has a laidback feeling to shopping, especially if you step out from the market zone of the medina. The commercial areas reminds you principally of Europe's.
But money isn't a problem — and as far as I could determine, the handicraft shops here are not cheap — Casablanca is one of the better places in all of Morocco to buy pick up something nice and different.

Right in from the long Boulevard Muhammad 5, you will find the Marche Central of Casablanca.
The place is a small but high-quality version of the traditional suuqs of Morocco, and everything is aiming at the needs of the locals. And that is a thing that secures good standards.
The Marche Central has vegetables, meat, all kinds of sea food, as well as handicrafts.
On the picture to the left, you see live turtles. Turtle soup should therefore be an option for those visiting Casablanca — the sale of turtles for food is prohibited in many Western countries.

Casablanca is thought to be the most expensive city in Morocco for shopping and so if you are visiting other cities, you might want to just pick up some souvenirs.
