On our first trip to La Crucecita, we walked around the town and got a feel on where to shop and mentally noted down prices from different stores. I love supporting local vendors and I'm trying to buy more practical items as a souvenir and not another key chain.
I loved the market and that's where we mainly shopped. I also went to the grocery store to browse each aisle for things I could buy that we don't have in Toronto. I found a special hot sauce for a friend of mine and lots of coffee that I could buy as souvenir.
I ended up buying vanilla (liquid and pod), mezcal, chocolates, coffee, and blankets.
I always recommend taking a lap around the market and asking for prices before you start purchasing. Being a tourist has it's pitfalls and it's sometimes having to pay a WHOLE lot more when you shop but it never hurts to bargain. Always have small change and of course cash is key.

I always take home a magnet :) It was a silly thing I started and then my husband caught on and now we have all these tacky magnets from places we visited. But of course we also include things that seem a bit more authentic or practical. i love all these colors. I bet the blankets you got are gorgeous!
