The shop is one of the most famous ones in Bucharest. All products are hand painted by Beba, and it has become quite the attraction in the city center. With famous clients like Bill Paxton, the place is welcoming to everyone who is looking for something one-of-a-kind.
The place is petite, but the gems you can find in it will be priceless. Plus you can often find Beba working in the the shop, and she will be very happy to offer autographs, and offer you different gifts.
What to buy: If you have the money you can buy paintings from the world renowned artist Beba, or for those on a budget, they can find hand painted cups, vases, glasses and many more.
What to pay: Around $50 for 2-3 objects, or $3500 for a painting.

I just discovered yesterday... I couldn't believe it how I always passed by it and never entered at least to see what is in...
There are a lot of beautiful brand clothes at small prices. I couldn’t resist and not buy anything… I left from the shop with some awesome jeans from Pepe Jeans… and it coasted only 22 E.
Just go and see it… maybe you will find something that you like at a great price.

What to buy: Romania – O perspectiva aeriana by Stefan Petrescu. Publisher: Uranus
A book with almost 200 pages of beautiful aerial pictures of Romania, plus another 35 pages of short explanations of what the pictures are about. The text is in three languages: Romanian, English and German. It can be a nice reminder of places you have seen, and also an inspiration for another future trip to Romania, because many of those pictures will make you think ‘I want to go there’.
Stefan Petrescu, the author of the pictures, has a long career as photo-reporter for Romanian and German newspapers and magazines and has been also a TV image operator in Romania and Germany.
What to pay: It costs the equivalent of about 30 US dollars.

Verii Botez (translation: Baptise Cousins) is a family business. I came across Ruxandra and Monica while organizing an advertising event and admired their idea ever since.
They collect local craft objects and take them around to all the fairs across Romania. That's quite impressive given the fact that traditional costumes or patterns for decorating vary from one side of a country to another.
I bought some bookmarks , women jewelery and pottery and my friends abroad were all very pleased with them
What to buy: Pottery and shoulder bags
What to pay: 25 RON (8 Euro) for shoulder bags
15 RON (4 Euro) for bookmarks

If you are looking for traditional Romanian stuff to buy as souvineirs or gifts there is one good shop i have found.
It's on Blvd Unirii as you walk towards Causescus house its on the left hand side. Its called RomArt and has a wide variety of embroidery, dolls and carvings etc.
If you are looking to buy some of the woven rugs, wait until you visit Sucaeva they are much cheaper at the monastery called Veronet.
If you are in the piatra neampt area, take the journey out to the red lake 'lacu rosu' - along the way is a market set up in the shelter of the cliff wall with great woolens, embroidery etc.
