Krakow has the best selection of souvenirs and crafts in Poland, though there are several nice stores in Warsaw and elsewhere. Shop for locally produced arts and crafts like dolls, lace, glass and crystal, wood carvings, peasant rugs and embroidery. Be sure you know the difference between good and bad amber before you spend a lot of money. Leather boxes, chess boards, woven goods, leather-and-glass sculpture, icons, woolens, embroidered shoes and wooden plates are good buys. Oil paintings and watercolors, silver, painted wooden boxes and chests, painted wooden eggs and political and religious paraphernalia also make nice mementos.
