Gifts & Souvenirs

The lack of gift inspiration for our nearest and dearest is a common problem, and not only at Christmas time...but Warsaw's shops are here to help! Aside from the wide assortment of countless gadgets available everywhere, especially worth noticing are shops displaying Polish folk art and accessories. The Cepelia chain stores are a true reflection of Polish folk art, with exquisite ceramics, fabrics, furniture and smaller souvenirs representing over half a century of decorative handicrafts. Similar items can be found in little shops all over the city which provide handcrafted tablecloths, sculptures and glassware (often unique pieces). Also very popular are little temporary stands with unique metallic, porcelain or wooden jewelry, with young artists creating the perfect combination of colourful fantasy and practical craftsmanship. Porcelain galleries (such as Pompadour) display equisite and classic items, such as vases, cups, vintage mirrors and lamps; these are products that are still being produced as they were so long ago, proving that the art and traditional are not dead - despite their historical and long-forgotten style.
