NASSAU, Bahamas --- As the Christmas season gets fully underway, residents and visitors are encouraged to buy uniquely Bahamian gifts at the annual Authentically Bahamian Craft market that opens at Pompey Square today.
Bahamas Handicraft Association President Sonia Rolle said over 20 vendors are involved in the market and they are hoping for a favourable response.
"It is Christmas yuletide season we just wanted to bring something home and so we wanted to have something really Bahamian and really authentic. And so we brought the straw bags, shell jewelry, sponges, sand jars, Christmas wreaths, beautiful corsages. We are even doing something for our pets," she said.
Ms. Rolle said there will also be Bahamian treats like conch salad, candies, peanuts and sugar cane juice.
"So it's somewhere where you can be relaxed, have a good time and also shop for your loved ones for the Christmas Holiday. It's something for the whole family to enjoy and we will have flowers on sale as well," she said.
