eng4 Posted January 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I like to bring home something handmade from each island we visit. Is there a market area near the ship port? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubalisa Posted January 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2015 You can check the kiosks right along the waterfront on main street. Aruba Aloe products and small paintings make wonderful gift souvenirs. Unfortunately a lot of the trinkets are made elsewhere. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted January 12, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Most of the stuff for sale is really total garbage and made in China. Aruba is not a great stop for "native" handicrafts. They make beer and aloe products. Edited January 12, 2015 by 6rugrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hewatn Posted January 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Try the craft store in the cluster of shops in the center of town (from the cruise ship port). The store is on the second floor. They sell an array of beautiful crafts using an old art form called Mopa Mopa. Check it out on-line to learn more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
