Shop for leather goods, rose oil, carpets, decorated and carved woodwork, kitchenware made with beaten copper, colorful embroideries and weavings, brightly colored ceramics and handmade jewelry. Melnik wines are well-regarded around the world, as is Bulgarian cognac. Spend an hour or two shopping at the CUM department store in Sofia to see a wide selection of locally made consumer goods. Do look at the original work of street artists in Sofia and Plovdiv: Some of it is quite good, and the prices are very reasonable. For unusual items, look for Mineral souvenir stores and shops of the Union of Bulgarian Artists.
