LOL! As an Italian-American I can relate to the wooden spoon. My Grandmother lived downstairs from us growing up, and she kept a wooden spoon next to her sofa at all times to make sure us kids stayed in-line. I may have to buy one on my next trip, to keep the higglers at bay during my beach walks.

But it's true that some craft vendors will have a hidden gem among the typical souvenir stuff. I like to check out Dr. Feelgood on the West End, across from Sea Grape and Negril Escape. He has a hodge-podge of wares; some of which looks like he got from a Jamaican clothing boutique and others from a jewelry craftsman.
