Want to make a positive impact when buying your souvenirs? This socially conscious design gift shop sells ethical, sustainable, natural goods made by social enterprises and NGOs from all over Hungary. You'll find everything from artisan chocolate to handmade candles, along with some of Pest's friendliest shopkeepers.
A properly lovely little place on the edge of Tabán, an area not really known for its shopping, Prezent is everything a modern gift shop should be: interesting, sustainable, and with a focus on local producers. You'll find sweaters, chocolate, and soaps, as well as considerably-less-touristy-than-usual fridge magnets and postcards featuring sketches of the city.
This quirky art and design store is a browser's paradise, with a variety of eye-catching artwork on sale, including original paintings, prints, photos, posters, and postcards. But that's just the start: shoppers can also pick up original clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, homeware, toys, books, and even foodstuffs. The store is located in a passageway between Semmelweis utca and Károly körút (and accessible from both).
