Souvenir: a thing that is kept as a reminder of a person, place or event.
... once you are back home, thousands of miles from Anguilla, of course, you may find our island home indelibly marked in your memory without the help of a keepsake of any kind. Anguilla is that special. ;-)
Whether you need a reminder or not, Anguilla has many beautiful souvenirs to take home with you so that you can keep the memories alive.
So, let's start shopping...
The absolute best place for your Anguilla t-shirt is Irie Life.
Irie Life has the largest selection and in my opinion, the coolest selection of t-shirts on the island.
Irie Life in South Hill
They cater to children and adults and their designs range from classic to dive-themed to comically cute.
The quality is great and they offer plenty color choices.
Here you can find island-inspired clothing, hats, bags, jewelry and plenty of fun gifts for adults and kids.
Petals Boutique, at Frangipani Beach Resort on Meads Bay, is another great place to find both beautiful beachwear and souvenirs. This pretty boutique carries clothing, jewelry, hats, bags and accessories, along with plenty of gifts that travel well.
For something particularly Anguillian, look for their locally made and Anguilla-inspired pieces, including map pouches, tea towels, one-of-a-kind Anguilla t-shirts, locally made soaps and other specialty gifts. And, of course, shopping at Petals gives you a very good excuse to wander down to beautiful Meads Bay afterward.
If you want to take home a genuine piece of Anguilla, visit Lynne Bernbaum's gallery in Sandy Ground.
Lynne has a wonderfully recognizable way of capturing Anguilla. Click 'play' on the video below for a look into her gallery...
Her work has become iconic around the island, and her prints make a particularly nice souvenir because you can bring home a little piece of Anguilla without taking too much space in your suitcase!
Bijoux Boutique in Sandy Ground is a lovely choice if you're shopping for something a little more stylish. The boutique carries jewelry ranging from pretty costume pieces to more substantial fine jewelry, along with breezy beachwear, dresses, cover-ups, bags and accessories.
There are also plenty of fun Anguilla and beach-inspired gifts throughout the shop, with a particularly good selection for women and children.
It's an easy stop to combine with lunch or dinner in Sandy Ground.
A benefit of Sea Spray, besides its convenient location by the Sandy Ground roundabout, is the option to sip a refreshing smoothie while shopping.
Pam's shop is packed with colorful treasures, including jewelry, beachy decorations, postcards, t-shirts, locally made products and her own hand-painted creations.
Her hand-painted tropical ornaments and shot glasses have long been favorites, and she also makes jewelry using local shells and sea glass.
Bring Anguilla home with you!
Our exclusive Anguilla Beaches collaboration with Redspring Goods brings the island to life in a beautiful way.
This curated six-pack of magnetic art tiles captures the soul of Anguilla, from Shoal Bay's turquoise glow to the golden stretch of Meads Bay, Turtle's Cove, Maundays Bay and iconic Anguilla photographs. Each little piece is a reminder of why we love this island so much.
The magnets are made from high-gloss acrylic rather than paper or vinyl. They're handmade, durable and designed to shine, making them a fun addition to your refrigerator or office - and an especially easy gift for someone who loves Anguilla.
They're also a great choice for housewarmings, holidays or anyone who carries Anguilla in their heart.

For a souvenir that is truly one-of-a-kind, make your way to Cheddie's Carving Studio & Gift Shop.
Cheddie began creating art as a child, making boats from matchsticks when he was just nine years old. His natural talent eventually developed into an internationally recognized career, despite having no formal art training.
His work has been exhibited throughout the Caribbean and has attracted international press - and one of his pieces was presented to Queen Elizabeth II during her 1996 visit to Anguilla and remains in the Royal Collection.
How about making your own souvenir?
AnguillArts takes painting to the beach, where you can spend a few leisurely hours creating your own piece of Anguilla with the help of artist Karen Venditti Liddie.
No painting experience is necessary. Karen offers scheduled paint parties at beachfront restaurants as well as private painting parties, and she patiently guides you through the process while you enjoy the sea, the breeze and a beverage or two.
At the end of the day, you don't just have a souvenir - you have a story to go with it. And that's pretty hard to beat.
Want to take a little bit of Anguilla home for the entire year?
The Anguilla Beaches Calendar features beautiful photographs of some of Anguilla's most serene beaches, giving you a daily reminder of turquoise water, white sand and sunny island days long after you've returned home.
It's also an easy gift for the Anguilla lover in your life. No suitcase space required!

Looking for something colorful, comfortable and distinctly Caribbean? Stop in at Why Knot in the West End, the longtime boutique created by Fabiana Liburd.
Fabiana's designs are made for Anguilla's tropical climate, with lightweight Indian cotton dresses, tunics and tops in a rainbow of beautiful colors. Her versatile wraps and dresses are especially popular - some can be worn in as many as six different ways!
Why Knot also carries cotton t-shirts, caps, bags and funky jewelry, along with locally made bags, paintings, earrings and other creations from Anguilla artists and designers.
It's a great place to find something you'll actually use and wear long after your vacation is over - a colorful, breezy reminder of Anguilla every time you put it on.
Just arriving or getting ready to leave? Keep an eye out for Little Anguilla, located just one minute from the Blowing Point Ferry Terminal.
This little shop is all about locally made treasures and authentic Anguillian gifts, making it a particularly convenient stop if you're looking for something to take home before you board the ferry - or something to remember Anguilla by as soon as you arrive.
Their philosophy is simple: Shop authentic. Shop local.
For current information and what's available, visit Little Anguilla on Facebook or contact them on WhatsApp at 264-476-6534.
Not every souvenir has to cost anything.
There are several wonderful ways to take a little bit of Anguilla home with you for free. Keep an eye out around the island for copies of True Anguilla magazine and What We Do in Anguilla magazine. They're filled with island stories, information, photographs and ideas - and make great reading material for when you're missing Anguilla.
True Anguilla Magazine
You'll also find Skyviews maps around the island. Pick one up before you leave and keep it tucked away with your travel memories.
Years from now, you may unfold that little map and immediately remember exactly where you went, where you ate and which beach you loved the most.
And, of course, there's always the very best free souvenir of all...
A memory of Anguilla. ❤️🏝️
