Usually tourists buy such traditional Russian souvenirs, as Matryoshka dolls, beautifully painted mugs, plates and wooden spoons from the village of Khokhloma and Palekh beautifully decorated wooden boxes. Those who have more money buy amber, furs, art books and caviar. Some tourists are more interested in badges, magnets with Russian landmarks, T-shirts with Russian print and Russian ushanka-hats (hat-ear flaps).
Russian souvenirs - this is 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. Also popular with tourists is tableware, decorated with images of cathedrals, cities' landmarks and national patterns. Most of these dishes, which sell different gift shops, stylize capital of Russia - Moscow, which is very interesting for Russian guests from other countries.
