Needtobecruisin' Posted July 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi..... We will be cruising to Bermuda for our first time in the fall and I have a question for the ones of you that have been there before. When visiting different ports, I always like to buy souvenirs that are specific to that port. What would be a great souvenir to bring back from Bermuda? (Really don't care for buying rum.) Thanks for your suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mcmomny Posted July 15, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2013 At the Dock yards there is a large glass blowing studio where they sell their works of art, I bought ear rings and a necklace. They also had vases and small animals made of glass Rum cake is big but I didn't get one In Hamilton I bought a Christmas ornament and a small water color painting. Also at the Dock yards are several artist stores Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanaBet Posted July 15, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2013 The Bermuda glassworks and Bermuda Rum Cake factory are both in the same building. As you enter the Rum Cakes are on your left, actual glassblowing in front of you and their shop on the right. If you continue on down that road toward the beach, you'll come to the Craft Market. This is fabulous as it contains all different island made articles. Also on Monday evenings there is an event called Destination Dockyard which is held close by the docks. There is entertainment and vendor are their selling Bermuda made items as well. We just got back last week and got some amazing gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelinTchr Posted July 17, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If you make it to St. George, I recommend the Bermuda Perfumery. It's always one of my favorite stops, and they offer some lovely Bermudian fragrances that, in my opinion, can very well compete with the world-renowned European names. Enjoy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gail-s Posted July 17, 2013 #10 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Someone asked the same question on the NCL forum. I love the perfumery in St George. I also purchased a small Wedgwood plate at the Clock Tower Mall that's pink with the Bermuda long tail on it. Not super expensive but a nice reminder of our trip.

flowers44 Posted July 18, 2013 #12 Share Posted July 18, 2013 The perfume in Bermuda is made there and is only sold in Bermuda. I have a spray bottle of Oleander and I just love the fragrance. It was my special gift for myself. Actually, this is my second bottle. It was what I used for an excuse a couple of years ago to go back to Bermuda. "My perfume was gone and I can only get it in Bermuda." Yep, I bought the second bottle that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gail-s Posted July 23, 2013 #14 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hay gail-s did you buy that plate this year? No, we were there in 2011, that's when I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailBadtheSinner Posted July 23, 2013 #15 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Is snorkeling better over a "reef" or a "shipwreck site?" huh??? I think you have posted your question to the wrong thread; this thread is about buying souvenirs in Bermuda. SBtS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
