Rome shopping
 
Hi, we are in Rome right now, has been a roller coaster trip so far but more on that later i promis - still great to be here! I am just looking for some quick help with shopping. We are staying in the Campo di Fiori area & DD wants to buy some gifts for her friends and maybe some not too expensive shoes, which area/s should we target? Just have about an hour and a half to shop & we leave in probably a half hour so some quick help would really be appreciated! Thanks!

Sorry, didn't realize what time it was in the morning in the US. Let me know anyway, in case we have time later. Thanks,

Shouldn't you ask at your hotel?

There's an open air market along the bank of the Tiber - opposite bank from Campo di Fiori, towards Isola Tiburtina. My DD enjoyed shopping there.
