 Huicholes indians by Mexgirl Mexican Artesanías can be found even in fancy department stores but a lot more expensive than in the original place. The indian people selling their handicrafts at open Plazas and streets normally come from their Town, traveling hundreds of Kms to preserve their customs. More than handicraft, their objects are certainly artistic and for one hand-made textil Shirt, they spend several days.
It is said that in Mexico is easy to dodge to get a cheaper price. If you come from the States or Europe, you will find Mexico city already cheap, I think is not recommended, or fair, to ask for a cheaper price for indian products. They are already an art and it requires them a lot to come and offer their products. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

 Mercado San Angel by Mexgirl Besides food Markets, there are many Parks, Plazas and squares where traditional Handcrafts are placed on weekends. One of the most famous places is the Mercado de los Sabados en San Angel (Saturday´s Market of San Angel). Where in the main square there are tons of little "puestos" in the street where you can buy clothes, jorongos, jewerly, hand made paper, textiles, traditional mexican candies, etc. Some of them are made or brought by ethnic groups from Oaxaca, Michoacan and other cities.
In Mexico city, and specially in Open markets, you can find all kind of handicrafts, comming from different States of the country. Each State is still represented by several indian groups which have a unique style each one of them. Normally, textiles, mexican traditional candies, and "ceramicas" are found in these kind of Markets.

by chris_i79 This market is located to the right of the Catedral. Just look for the brightly colored umbrellas, you can't miss it. Apparently the governement has unsuccessfully tried to get rid of this market many times as the venders do not pay any rent.
As with most markets in Mexico you can expect to find a wide range of products, from t-shirts, jewellery and other tourist products to bookleg DVDs, cds, to tensor bandages, denture fastening creme and TV attenas. Just wander around and see what they are selling that day.
As with any market in Mexico, bargining is expected. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: In the Zocalo, to the right of the Catedral (when facing it)

by chris_i79 This is a great place to get some gifts and souvineers from Mexico. Located within walking distance from the Zocalo this market has stall after stall of products from around the country. Prices and quality vary so its best to look around and compare. As always bargining is expected. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: 2 blocks N of Metro Balderas

 My daughter with her mom by karenincalifornia As we were exploring the neighborhoods around the Zocalo, we came across a garment district behind the National Palace. There were numerous stores selling the most gorgeous children's dresses. We found a store that sold extremely high quality dresses, much better quality than the typical dress one can find in a US department store. My daughter, in this picture, is wearing the beautiful dress we bought in Mexico City - for the equivalent of about USD $15.
Buy dresses. Lots of them. I regret that I did not buy a dress in successively larger sizes, so my daughter could have a beautiful new dress from Mexico City every year. Now she won't wear them. :-( Leave a Comment Theme: Children's Clothes

 so many Marys and Josephs and shepherds, et al by morgane1692 ...these shelves full of Nativity sets amaze and amuse you. Think about getting one for a friend back home, then think better of that because remember, you have to tote everything you buy in your carryon and it all adds up and the weight will eventually growing to a crushing amount and...it's the thought that counts anyway. ;-O Leave a Comment Theme: Gifts

 everything you need to make Mass fun by morgane1692 ...if you ever think about performing your own Mass. A few years ago, I brought back some holy water from Lourdes. This would've been the perfect accompaniment to that, a bag of these giant Communion wafers for my friend Mary Ann at work. Awww nuts, I only realized the genius combo *after* I returned to DC.

 a wacky, surreal image, don't you think? by morgane1692 ...these little Baby Jesus figures are swathed in...bubble wrap?!?! Where is bubble wrap mentioned in the Bible or in any story of the Nativity? I don't think so. Lots of straw, and everyone wore wool cloaks and there was the gold and myrrh and kings and shepherds, but I don't remember anything about plastic wrapping on His arms and legs...hmmmm....
