everything is relatively cheap.
I can say that tea is 12 dollars a kilogram!
magnets and stuff as you bargain. merchants walk right along the beach, prices are too high, you need to reduce
if you go to buy gems - be careful. and in shops with certificates. many fakes

Tea is cheaper than in Moscow. Jewelry made of gold and silver with semi-precious stones $50-100 (not very elegant, but suitable for gifts). Very beautiful crafts made of stone, though heavy. They cost from $ 30 to $ 100, but be sure to stand nearby when they are wrapped - they can replace it with a cheaper option. A variety of papier-mache fish can give a whole flock for $ 10 if you bargain. Different creams for mosquitoes and sunburn near the hotel in shops are 3-4 times cheaper than on excursions. Miracle depilatory cream is a scam, don't waste your money! The clothes in the store at the Royal Palms Hotel are cheap ($10,20,30,40,50), but they smell musty and the sellers don't haggle. They didn’t buy anything on the beach - then they won’t leave you, they shout at you, even if you relax on a lounger near the hotel. The guards do not chase them and they can yell "Hello. . . . " for half an hour. Basically, it's not very expensive.. At the airport on the way back we saw a lot of decent shops with souvenirs and jewelry - maybe buy something there! Have a nice holiday!!!

Sri Lankan souvenirs are worthy of attention: they are "authentic", made by local craftsmen - woodcarvers, or weaving from a dry palm leaf, or potters, or creators of pictures on cotton (batik).
Among the most popular souvenirs:
- tea in various packages (from porcelain elephants to caskets made of Kaduru wood) - from 150 rupees;
- spices in gift boxes (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, black pepper) or in plastic bags that are offered at the entrance to most attractions - from 100 rupees to ...;
- T-shirts of excellent quality with prints on the Sri Lankan theme - the highest quality in the shopping centers of Colombo and Galle (withstands countless washes),
- panel ilm clothes in batik technique - from 12 dollars, because the process of creating paintings that are resistant to the sun and washing lasts 5-7 days;
- bronze crafts - casting, chasing - from masters from Kandy.
Places to buy souvenirs: Laksana chain stores, Lakpahana - traditional handicrafts. Prices are moderate.
Art galleries Barefoot, Paradise Road - author's works (toys, interior items, textiles, ceramics, patchwork, etc.) can easily compete with the creations of creative designers from Western Europe. From 4 USD
