It’d be a shame if all you brought home from Anguilla was a bronzed bod. So I’ve found half a dozen authentic and affordable island mementoes that will bring you pleasure long after your tan has faded.
1. The satiny-smooth texture and voluptuous shape of these egg- and heart-shaped “touch forms” from Devonish Gallery make the handheld wooden sculptures almost impossible to put down. From $25
2. Irie Life’s two boutiques (in South Hill and Sandy Ground) carry cool graphic T-shirts and hoodies, including this new irie-inspired design. $36
3. Crack open a cold Carib with this whimsical magnetic bottle opener from SeaSpray Boutique in South Hill. $15.
4. Fashion Cuts’ acrylic Anguilla and monogram necklaces (sold in hotel gift shops) make the perfect accessory for fashion-forward travelistas. $25
5. Proceeds from the sale of these durable bags, which neatly hold six bottles and are sold at Frangipani Beach Resort’s Petals boutique, support the efforts of the Anguilla Animal Rescue Foundation. $3.50 or three for $10
6. Limin’ Boutique’s new and exclusive collection of custom-made silver jewelry, made with sand from Anguilla’s famous beaches, is sure to be a runaway hit this high season. $43 – $230
