Imagine that you are on a
trip through the Southwest, and you want to bring home
mementos for yourself, family and friends. Sedona, a
city teeming with artists and artisans; boutiques,
galleries and one-of-a-kind shops; annual festivals and
open-studio events are a perfect place to find that
special something.
Sedona has more than 80
galleries, food emporiums, New Age metaphysical shops,
specialty stores, antiques and even an outlet shopping
district, with both national stores and local
businesses.

In Sedona's shops there
are numerous one-of-a-kind gift items that are not
available elsewhere as well as classic favorites, such
as name-brand sporting goods, clothing, books, CDs, toys
and electronics.
When you shop in Sedona,
you are likely to be delighted and surprised. There is
so much to discover from Native American crafts and
healing gemstones to outdoor wind sculptures and many
whimsical and handmade items. You can take home a
hand-carved walking stick or wooden flute or perhaps a
blown-glass bottle stopper, a custom-made bird house or
healthy treats for your pet.
There so many styles of
art in great abundance that there is surely a piece to
win every heart. Sedona's world-class galleries feature
original paintings and multi-media works, jewelry,
photography, sculpture, pottery, rugs, art glass, woven
textiles, hand-crafted furniture and collectible
kachinas and fetishes. Both seasoned and beginning
collectors agree that Sedona is one of the best places
in the world to buy fine art and jewelry! There are so
many options for every budget.
Two popular stops for
made-in-Sedona gifts include the Sedona Arts Center gift
store, which represents dozens of local artists, and the
Sedona Heritage Museum shop that offers many quaint
items with a historic flair, such as wooden pens made
from the fruit trees on its property. Other Sedona
products around town include candles; cactus jellies;
bath, body and facial goods, custom-fitted Western
boots-even a limited edition of wrist watches produced
in the Swiss style.
Large items can be
shipped, but you might want to pack an extra bag for
those small treasures you'll want to carry with you.
It's those small treasures from shopping in Sedona that
will remind you of all the beauty, wonder, mystique, and
marvel you had the chance to experience.
