 Falklands Sweater by zweiblumen
For a machine knitted sweater espect to pay approx £48.00 sterling, for hand knitted expect to pay roughly 40% more. That is STILL a lot cheaper than Shetland, Faroe Islands, fair Isle knitwear. Leave a Comment

 The Pink Shop by zweiblumen
It's hard to find local made produce especially if you are after souvenirs to take home. Bear in mind that the total population of these islands (not including the British military and support) is under 3000. How many towns do you know of that kind of population make their own souvenirs? So don't get upset if that cuddly penguin you have just bought was actually made in China. However .. you CAN get locally made cuddly penguins at the Pink Shop .. just ask to see the "Baby Kelper" penguins. They also sell a decent range of locally made knitwear, hats, scarves and jumpers.

 Falkland Islands by SabrinaSummerville
I had about 45 mins to spare before my tour started, so I wandered from shop to shop looking for these items. The shops were full of garments bearing the Falkland Island symbol, but they were all made elsewhere in the world.
It's only when I boarded the tour bus that I discovered that genuine Falkland Wool can only be purchased at the Wool Centre which is in John Street.
Unfortunately I never had time or opportunity to get there, but at least I now have the opportunity to give you the tip where you'll find the real thing. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

 Souvenir Shop in Falklands by SabrinaSummerville
I came from a cruise ship and so I headed straight for the closest shop which is the yellow one in the picture attached. I couldn't get in the front door as it was so crowded!
I wandered up the road a little until I came to The Harbour View Gift Shop just down the road along the sea front. I was delighted with the shop. It's much larger than it seems from the front as it goes right back through three different rooms.
You can buy everything from socks to hot water bottles to jewelry. Be warned - they almost all have pics of penguins on them! of course, you can hardly go hoke without buying a penguin something!
Another thing to note is that most of the souvenirs are made elsewhere. To get genuine Falkland items I would suggest asking in the shop (I bought a beautiful print by a Falkland artist) or buying at the Museum or the wool shop in John Street.
I'm not yet finished this tip and will add phone numbers etc later. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
