1. Indigo Blue
Annie Lupinacci's bright, cheery shop carries delightful local and imported gift items, including her line of painted boats, as well as chic household goods, beachwear, and art. There's also a branch at The Hermitage.

2. Kate Design
As artist Kate Spencer summers in Sicily, you must call ahead for an appointment to visit her studio outside Rawlins Plantation (note that she typically closes from May through October). It's very much worth doing so, though, to shop for her truly unique and brilliantly colored original paintings, serigraphs, note cards, scarves, and other lovely pieces.

3. L & L Rum Shop
Owner Mark Theron's passion for rum (he leads tastings at top hotels) led him to create the Clifton Estate brand of artisanal spiced rum as well as the affordable line of silver and gold Moko Jumbie rums. Both are on sale at this gleaming shop, which stocks an astonishing array of rum from around the world—putting the (sugar) cane in arcane—in addition to other spirits. While you're browsing, you can sip homemade limoncello or orange rum liqueur. If you call ahead, Mark may be able to organize a tasting of his products.

4. All Kind of Tings
All Kind of Tings, a peppermint-pink edifice on Liverpool Row at College Street Ghaut, functions as a de facto vendors' market, where several booths sell local crafts and cheap T-shirts. Its courtyard frequently hosts folkloric dances, fashion shows, poetry readings, and steel-pan concerts.

6. Crafthouse
The Crafthouse is one of the best sources for local dolls, wood carvings, and straw work.
Bay Rd., St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis869-465–7754 -
7. Eva Wilkin Gallery
Nevis has produced one artist of some international repute, the late Dame Eva Wilkin, who for more than 50 years painted island people, flowers, and landscapes in an evocative art naïf style. Her originals are now quite valuable, but prints are available in some local shops. The Eva Wilkin Gallery occupies her former atelier (hours are extremely irregular; you must call ahead for appointments). If the paintings, drawings, and prints are out of your price range, consider buying the lovely note cards based on her designs; the owners are also promoting promising regional artists and craftspeople.
Clay Ghaut Estate, Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis869-469–2673 -
8. Island Fever

Main Rd., Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis869-469–9746 -
10. Palms Court Gardens
Talk about multitasking: this little oasis offers a restaurant, an infinity pool and hot tub with bay views, miniature botanical gardens, and the Shell Works atelier and gift shop, where artisans fashion graceful napkin holders, candlesticks, stemware, wall hangings, and jewelry from coral, sea fans, mother-of-pearl, and other marine materials. The $2 admission is refunded with a purchase.
Corner of Wilkin and Wigley Sts., St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis869-465–6060 -
11. Pelican Mall
This shopping arcade, designed to look like a traditional Caribbean street, has more than 20 stores (purveying mostly resort wear, souvenirs, and liquor), a restaurant, tourism offices, and a bandstand near the cruise-ship pier.
Bay Rd., St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis -
12. Port Zante Mall
Directly behind Pelican Mall, on the waterfront, is Port Zante, the deepwater cruise-ship pier where a much-delayed upscale shopping–dining complex has become a 50-shop area (including the large, ubiquitous jewelry concerns like Abbott's, Diamonds International, and Kay). If you're looking for inexpensive, local T-shirts, souvenirs, and crafts, check out Amina Market, a series of vendors' huts behind Pelican Mall to the right of Port Zante as you face the sea.

14. Spencer Cameron Art Gallery
In addition to a wide selection of exceptional work by regional and local artists and artisans, this gallery sells Caribbean island charts and other historical reproductions, as well as owner Rosey Cameron Smith's popular Carnevale clown prints. It also showcases Glass Island's seductively colored, sinuously shaped, art-glass frames, plates, and other items. In addition, one section is devoted to the Potter's House, the atelier of Carla Astaphan, who celebrates her Afro-Caribbean heritage with beautifully glazed ceramics and masks. Another section houses the NOMAD Chic clothing boutique. Rosey's daughter Leah runs a courtyard café that sells scrumptious baked goods. With so much on offer, it's good to know that the gallery ships worldwide.
