Originally from the US (Los Angeles) and I will be returning in a few weeks to see friends and family. I want to bring them valuable keepsakes that aren’t super kitschy. What do you recommend and where could I find it? (Preferably near Krakow)

Also: most of these people are musicians, filmmakers, and theatre artists so something geared in an artistic direction would be perfect.

  1. Maybe go to antique store and buy something old like book, vinyl record or something. Or some good polish porcelain like Ćmielów.

  2. Find local craftspeople that hands make things. Thats what I do when I visit. Don’t buy anything in a store.

  4. Bolesławiec pottery! Can be bought [here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/YFBusWw2T4HSWd5A8), [here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/FW1JkxNjk77p5wev6) or [here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/7k1yar1Dhg8Kd9Yw7).

    And maybe some book in Polish? With legends for example, or with Slavic mythology/demons etc? I’d recommend [sth like this](https://www.empik.com/mitologia-slowianska-bobrowski-jakub-wrona-mateusz,p1362543859,ksiazka-p?qa=mitologia%20s%C5%82owia%C5%84ska&ac=true) or [this](https://www.empik.com/atlas-legend-tom-1-zych-pawel,p1240146000,ksiazka-p?mpShopId=0&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=19721346142&cq_term=&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gclid=CjwKCAjw0ZiiBhBKEiwA4PT9zwM41BSNqbpjmwJ3-x-zkxyBhH-xysQRDBPWbrzwzZdJ_67niAYD0hoC_IYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) because of pretty illustrations.

    [Cracovian shawl](https://www.perfekt.krakow.pl/stroje/krakow/krakowska-chusta-bawelniana,960), korale, cracovian waistcoat etc. from Sukiennice.
