This small shop is full of cute little tidbits and tshochkies that make for excellent gifts. There are a few bargains but much of the stuff here is higher end designs and pretty stuff. I managed to pick up a bright red cable tie thing shaped like a fish. That should make it easier for me to find my phone cable buried in my backpack!

On the main square of the riverside area of Frankfurt, this is the Gift shop of gift shops, but…read morenot cheap tourist tat. This is quirky brightly coloured interesting stocking filler gift type tat..... I actually really quite liked it for browsing. It's a mind blowing array of colour and has a vast array of things you probably don't need, but will on some level want. There is everything from moustaches for babies to owl spectacle holders to bizarre wine bottle corks. Limitless pens and note pads, ornaments and amusing gadgets. If you like this sort of thing you will love this place. For me it was all ok, there was plenty of nifty Wee things that would be quite cool to have, but nothing essential and all way over priced! Decent little shop that's worth a look if your in the area. If your from the Uk it's a bit like the gift shop chain Papyrus, but way better in terms of the number of lines it stocks.

Lots of English books, plenty of nonfiction too, and gifts and planners and things. The staff were…read morenice too! Yay!!!!

The only newsagents worth browsing in Frankfurt, you can happily spend half an hour in this place…read moretaking in all the international press and mags. The new lights are a bit too bright though and there's quite a mark-up if you actually want to buy any foreign stuff but that's the same anywhere. Check out their seconds-shop in the basement level shopping area for 3 euro English novels and art books.

A lovely elder couple owns and operates the shop, their English isn't great but we communicated just fine with my broken German and their funny English. It is cash only, and some expensive items like massive steins and glassware can drain the Euro's fast...so bring funds! I got a cool .5L stein, a few shot glasses, and some other gifts...one of my buddies got a 3.0L stein...damn that's a lot of beer kids...not for the faint of heart! Really enjoyed this shop and ended up stopping in twice during the trip. A gem!

Handwerkskunst am Römer is a gorgeous shop full of handcrafted German decorations, ornaments,…read moreclocks, and more. These items are intricate and beautifully crafted and are available at a variety of price points. The owner spent time to explain the options for the clocks and their differences. She answered my many questions. She carefully packaged each of my (many) items and prepared them for travel home. There was a reasonable option to ship, but I had come prepared to bring items home. Each item was itemized on my receipt and I was charged the right amount. This was a great experience and if I was not on a budget, I would have spent so much more. Next time...

All the items are definitely pricey but everything is so beautiful so it can definitely be easy to get carried away. The lady who was helping us was really nice and made sure that she priced the one item we got (which is a beautiful handmade and hand-painted nutcracker king) correctly. A must-visit if you are ever in Frankfurt, Germany and in need of authentic souvenirs.
