Mayan Gifts Artesanías
Not the classiest of gift shops, but once you dig through the shiny key chains and loud T-shirts, you'll find a decent assortment of black clay pottery and colorful artesanías.

Proarmo
This cooperative specializes in artesanías made in Morazán. You'll find a wide assortment of crocheted items (hats, belts, bags, jewelry); there is also a smattering of wood, clay and henequen crafts. It's all kind of kitschy but it's got a lot of heart.

Nahanché
Hands down, this boutique offers the best selection of Salvadoran artesanías (handicrafts) in town; you'll find everything from brilliant indigo place mats to intricate miniature figurines. Items are pricey but the craftsmanship can't be beat. A sister store is located in Metrocentro, although the quality simply isn't the same.
