Usually tourists buy such traditional Russian souvenirs, as Matryoshka dolls, beautifully painted mugs, plates and spoons from the village of Khokhloma and Palekh boxes. Those who have more money buy amber, furs, art books and caviar. Some tourists are more interested in magnets, badges, T-shirts and Russian ushanka-hats
Russian souvenirs are not only the national products, but also various crafts of minerals, bones and stones, such as porcelain cups, statuettes made of bone, ashtrays, writing sets and clocks made of stone. Popular with tourists is tableware, decorated with images of cathedrals, cities and national patterns. Most of these dishes, which gift shops sell are very interesting for guests from other countries.
