Himya Gallery: Beautiful Housewares & Textiles

by SFHulaGIrl

There are several shops in the Legian area selling housewares & textiles of various types of wood, horn, abalone & mother of pearl. The employees here gave me slightly better prices than others. After my initial visit, they told me that if I returned (which I did!), they would give me even better prices. Serving trays & platters, bowls, soap dishes, salt & pepper shakers, turtle & fish figurines, etc., etc. As always, prices are negotiable. I would say an average price for salt & pepper shakers of abalone is Rp. 70,000 or less, depending on style.

Krisna Yuna Art Shop: Krisna Yuna Art Shop

by SFHulaGIrl

Another of the many jewelry shops in the Celuk area. Employees were patient as I went back & forth several times comparing prices & deciding which items I couldn't live without. One of the best values to buy here is the ornate, carved silver lighters. The price was something like US$8.00. Jewelry, mainly silver, but also gold. Prices are negotiable. One is often able to get 20% to 40% off of the prices marked/quoted after a bit of haggling.

Dewi Spa & Salon: Dewi Spa & Salon

by SFHulaGIrl

The spa seemed rather small, but the employees were extremely nice. I only had time for a cucumber tonic facial (Rp. 59,500). The facial consisted of cleansing, toning & exfoliating. The facial was good; gentle & very relaxing.Dewi is open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily.During my facial, the pet kitten of one of the employees was meowing loudly for attention. When my facial was finished, the kitten sat in my lap purring contentedly. I was having so much fun playing with the kitten that the owner told me I could the kitten with me while I had dinner, then bring it back! Other services offered are: traditional or seaweed manicures/pedicures (Rp. 43,500 to Rp. 49,500), waxing (Rp. 43,500 to Rp. 117,500), massages (Rp. 69,500 to Rp. 79,500), body scrub (Rp. 97,000), papaya body polish (Rp. 87,500) and hair treatments (Rp. 37,500 to Rp. 87,500).

Jeny's shop no 29: Sindhu Beach markets,Sanur

by austarman

Jeny's and the next door Tootsies shops at the Sanur Sindhu beach market are different to most shops in Bali because they are fixed price shops, unlike most shops of this type in Bali.The staff there are very good because they leave you to look around, but they are there to help you if you need it.They have a huge range of cloths in all the sizes.Both shops have a large range of clothing, gifts, casual shoes, and souvenirs. Cloths spring to mind straight away because they are so very very cheap there.I remember I asked one girl how much for something one day and she said with a smile "No problem sir this Cheap cheap like a bird" and she was right too. :-)There are many Balinese style gifts here and for the ladies, all the bags ,shoes, sarongs and of coarse plenty of cloths.Plus you can get all your genuine copy's in big name brands at bargain prices. At Tootsies and Jeny's the prices...

Sebatu Village: Best price

by Fernandocramos

If you want to buy artycrafts this is the better place to. Its a long street near Ubud with hundreds of stores that sells stuffs for exportation, but in some of then you can buy few pieces.The price is incredible cheap, cheaper than the market in Ubud. I think its the better price in all Bali.Its located at Tegal Lalang street, Sebatu Village near Ubud. Balinese artycraft, ceramic, wood carving etc

Everywhere: Local art

by StephanB

There is a hike one can do in Ubud where you walk along the hillside overlooking a couple of valleys around town. The village along the hike is renowned for it's local artist. If you ask around town, most hotels or guides will know of what you speak. we found some great pieces that were better quality, and much less expensive than in town. Local art. All pieces vary in quality, size, etc.

Everywhere: Great wood carvings

by StephanB

There are numerous woodcarving shops all over Bali. You can get some fantastic deals if your willing to do some dirty work. In Ubud it will be much more expensive than if you get out of town to some of the near villages. Just grab your guide and he'll find you the good spots. Don't let them do the negotiating, you will always get a better price on your own. Be firm, but not rude. A good way to compare the quality of the carvings is to go to the local galleries and see some of the master works. Then you will have a good idea of what you are getting in the markets. Woodcarvings A lot less than they what the starting price is.
