Guavaberry Liqueur from my favorite St. Maarten store:

Guavaberry wine was the most unique thing. Bought a bottle with some hand painted scenes on the glass. Looks nice on the bar.

 

Oh and some Rum Jumbie. Very cool bottles that the top half is a island guy with hand painted colorful sleeves and a little straw hat. If you bought 2 bottles, you get a free hat to wear, just like the little one on the bottle. The hat is HUGE and the size of a small African country. But it makes me smile everytime I come across it. :D

If you don't mind my asking, how much was the hand-painted bottle, and how much for the two with the hat? (two/three souvenirs in one) And where?

depends on what you are looking for. We bought some Guavaberry items, a small piece of jewelry, some calendars, a print of the islands, etc. It all depends on what you want to bring home with you. The jewelry store i went to was a referral and he was fair and very nice. if you want to know the store, i will give you his name and store name. he was off front street, really easy to find.
