Fort Lauderdale Market

It is understood; you cannot come back from a vacation without gifts and souvenirs. How do you find exactly the right gift? How do you avoid spending a fortune on souvenirs you may never look at again? Gift and souvenir shopping in the greater Fort Lauderdale area aims to please both your tastes and your pocketbook.

With literally thousands of department stores, shops and boutiques, both open air and enclosed, you will find exactly the right gifts and the right mementos. When shopping for edibles, you cannot beat the farmer's market, which is conveniently located at the Festival Marketplace in Pompano Beach. Citrus, jams, candies, and cakes abound. Browse and buy to your heart's content. It is down-home, homemade flavors at amazingly reasonable prices. Most vendors will ship. If mall shopping is your preferred modus operandi, you will find souvenir and gift kiosks dotting the three major area malls: The Galleria right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, Broward Mall in Plantation and the Fashion Mall in Plantation.

From tees, to sunglasses, to novelty items, you will find it all. When you are looking for out of the ordinary gifts or souvenirs, boutique shopping at Las Olas Boulevard, right in the heart of town, offers a wonderful experience. Perhaps a unique stained glass lamp or original needlepoint creation will capture your fancy. Pricey but memorable is the catch phrase here. If you or someone on your gift list is an antique fancier, you will not want to miss the Dania Historic Antique Shopping District. It is just minutes from the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport. Amazingly convenient, at little more than a block long, it is home to dozens of antique dealers and shops. Prices run the gamut, as do artifacts, from antiques hundreds of years old to little artifacts from the Art Deco and Art Noveau periods. You are sure to find a little-or a big-something for yourself or someone on your must-buy list.

If sporting goods are on your list, you will not want to miss the Outdoor World Bass Pro Shop while you are in Dania Beach. It offers an incredible array of marine, fishing, hunting camping and outdoor gear and equipment. With every purchase, the store makes a donation to help conservation efforts through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. No doubt, you and those on your gift list will be remembering Fort Lauderdale fondly for a long time to come.
