I went in this adorable gift shop three times when I was in Valencia this summer for 10 days. They…read morehave such a great selection of unique gifts, house ware items, and edibles all packed into this decent sized vintage inspired shop. As Suzie G. said, even window shopping here is pleasant - if you happen to walk by when they are closed for siesta. I left with wooden paella spoons, little candied orange slices, and a porron (which I learned from my Valencia Tapas Tour is a dessert wine pitcher used at parties). I also had my eye on the black porcelain sparrows, which I learned is a typical Valencian house warming gift. Definitely worth a visit for a gift to take home or give to your host. Everything is decently priced with many things being under a couple euros - but be forewarned, they wouldn't accept my €50.

This is such a lovely shop, great for gifts and original souvenirs. Everything is made in Spain…read morefrom chocolate bars to wicker bags (from Valencia), knives and vintage games. Even window shopping in this ¨Simple¨ shop gives me a big smile.

This is a great, unique place to stop for a gift in the Rusafa area. I had discovered them on…read moreInstagram - their feed is fabulous and thank you for the regram - and had to stop by. Great gifts, home decor good, quirky items, and more. I left with the cutest enamel pin, a patch, fortune cookies, and a great recipe print to take home, but was also temped by pretty pens, unique vases, and all sorts of things. Definitely was worth the special trip. PS - If you're going and using your 2017 Valencia pocket guidebook, the address is wrong, FYI.

Love this shop! It has an accessories from H&M sort of vibe and pricing. Lots of unique gifts and…read morejewelry/accessories for yourself or others. Grab all your beach needs, quirky key chains, hats, sunglasses, magnets, notebooks, and more. There are several all over the city, some larger than others, but they all have a variety of different items. The dogs in sunglasses coffee cups I bought in 2014 are still my favorite!

Common gifts and souvenirs (refrigerator magnets, keychains, and t-shirts) are fine sometimes. But…read morefor my friends, I like to return from trips with things that are a bit more thoughtful. La Botiga de La Seu is my favorite of the gift shops located along the plaza. In addition to the more common souvenirs, this particular store sells very pretty brooches, hairpins, and scarves. As a Valencia CF fan, I was giddy to see that there are very subtle hairpins with the club's insignia sold here as well (who would have thought?). Prices are also very reasonable for the quality of the items sold (i.e., fans are actually functional). Do be careful if you look like an out-of-towner though. I suppose that a blonde girl wearing Reebok Pumps in a fashionable Mediterranean city was enough to make a shopkeeper attempt to give me incorrect change. (I should have received 12 euro back and only received 5.) I brought this to the shopkeeper's attention and she apologized profusely. I'd like to think it was an accident. La Botiga de la Seu remains my favorite store for bringing a bit of Valencia home to my friends.
