Savannah in 5 Shops: local books, unique jewelry and chocolate treats

Savannah, Georgia, is like a shopping paradise that has a diverse blend of the old and the new. Here are five must-visit stores for unique finds:

1. Starland Strange & Bazaar

Best for Souvenirs

Starland Strange & Bazaar, which is located in the Starland District, is considered the top store of this type and owes its popularity to its diverse and wild market. The shop includes Savannah-inscribed clothing, fun stickers for different purposes, as well as ice cream with the typical sprinkles. Stickers are the cheapest of all these, starting from $3, then T-shirts at $35, and finally, the sprinkles your children would die for are $9 each.

2. shopSCAD

Best Local Design Store

The shopSCAD gallery in Savannah on Bull Street is an exclusive gallery representing students, faculty, and alumni of the Savannah College of Art and Design. The stock is very varied - ceramics (most of which are from the students there), artwork (some of which are fine art), jewelry, and bags can all be found here. Artwork prices begin at $100 for a piece made with the students. Among them, we see a pair of earrings reflecting palm trees sold by Jen Cervelli at $125, and the article of the stationery which is produced by including Savannah’s oak trees on paper costing only $17 are the most advantageous ones.

3. The Paris Market

Best Vintage/Thrift Store

The Paris Market on Broughton Street is a shop where antiques are divvied up among European-style furnishings, and a small cafe shares the rest of the space. Their warehouse turns out to be a huge platform to cover the different things, such as coffee table books, to home decor. Some of their candles become great keepsakes; perhaps, you might consider buying a Savannah-scented one at 29 dollars. Sip a cup of coffee and munch a piece of croissant while reading or attempting to make up your mind to get a packet of your preferred bean from the shop.

4. Chocolat by Adam Turoni

To satisfy your cravings for some amazing chocolate, visit Chocolat by Adam Turoni on Broughton Street where you can appreciate the craftsman.

5. E. Shaver Bookseller

Best Bookshop

E. Shaver Bookseller, located near Madison Square, is one of the most loved libraries in the city with the labyrinth of rooms stuffed with varieties of books. Its residents include the four cats, Morticia, Bartleby, Skimbleshanks, and Mr. Eliot. Grab a copy of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" ($18 for a paperback) or a cool E. Shaver tote bag ($25) to take your new books with you.

Enjoy fine dining at the town's boutique eateries, immortal recording studios, and trendy condos.
