Think that the seashells are authentic but if I am right, you are not suppose to bring them out of the country?
Just about all tourist souvenirs you can find including cheap tee-shirts.
This is a picture of a shark tooth I bought for my friend who pleaded to me to get this for him. Cost me $8 bargained down from $15.
Yes, you can find shark tooth or teeth in Male and the prices range widely. You can also find a whole set of shark's teeth if it catches your fancy.
However I find it all distasteful. I don't even eat shark's fin for goodness sake, real or otherwise. But I do eat stingrays. They are quite delicious and a popular dish in Singapore/Malaysia.
So buying one wasn't the highlight of my trip there.....but nevertheless it is worth pointing out that the Maldives has quite a selection of this, if you are looking for something out of the ordinary.
If you can't take it, then buy a tee-shirt like I did.
Bargain for half the price. The shop owners tend to overcharge. However if the sale doesn't work out, excuse yourself politely so you don't get abused in some foreign tongue and quietly leave.
In some cases, you might find even then, you are overcharged. I suggest shopping around to compare prices before deciding on a buy. Leave a Comment Theme: GiftsDirections: Singapore Street. There's a whole street of them selling nothing but souvenirs for unsuspecting tourists who walk in.

THERE IS NOT MUCH TO BUY IN THE WAY OF SOUVENIRS IN THE MALDIVES, T SHIRTS AND SARONGS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE RESORT SHOPS, ALONG WITH THE USUAL TAT (PENS, LIGHTERS ETC). ANYWAY WHY WASTE YOUR TIME SHOPPING WHEN YOU HAVE THE BEAUTIFUL INDIAN OCEAN BECKONING YOU. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Sarongs are best bargain on the local shopping trips. Only $5-6 for a locally produced cotton sarong.
Photo albums are also nice souvenir and reasonably priced. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

Nothing special apart from the 1 to 2 hour leg stretch for refuelling.
Prices here for ciggies and drink are very cheap, no drink allowed on the island remember, but on your way home have a field day. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The Maldives print their own stamps.Every resort shop on every island has some for sale
Maldive Stamps are famous for being amoungst the most beautiful in the world.Even if one is not a collector.It is worth having some just to look at. Leave a Comment Theme: Stationery

We were surprised to see that there are a few shops at Sun Island...there is a camera store, jewellry store, souvenir shop etc. The souvenir shop was nice. In here we were able to buy stuff like postcards and stamps, t-shirts, sun cream etc. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
