Shopping in Fiji is limited to buying souvenirs and gifts for friends and relatives. You can choose any type of wooden souvenirs, especially if you go to Ranum Island or the Viti Levu Cultural Village.
Wooden beads, jewelry boxes, crests and a host of other items in Fiji are sold in quantity, are inexpensive and have a special look you won't find anywhere else.
You can also buy some pretty good jewelry in Fiji, which is created in a factory in Suva. Pearls on the shelves of Fiji, too, and as part of jewelry, and just scattered. And, of course, here you will find the most common in tropical countries souvenirs - mats, hats and shells of various sizes.
Many people include a visit to duty-free stores in their shopping tour to Fiji. In the local assortment there are a lot of different dishes, crystal and porcelain. As sea souvenirs in such stores you can buy watches and binoculars. And camcorders and televisions are also popular goods here. However, it is better to buy all this where you will not have to doubt the quality of the purchase.
There are no sales in Fiji, and it is not customary to bargain in Fijian stores. Unless, of course, the owner of the store is not a Hindu - then haggling will be a matter of honor. Stores on weekdays work from 08:00 to 19:00. But on Saturday in Fiji all stores are closed at 13:00. On Sunday most stores in Fiji have a day off.
There is no special sale season in Fiji, but at Christmas it is easier than usual to get a discount in stores.
