    Souvenirs from Santiago

    I thought I had bought enough souvenirs, especially the “cheap” bracelets from stalls but on my return, family and friends wanted them so i was left with very few. Does anyone know where I could buy more. I have bought from Etsy and Ivar but they are the expensive ones. Thanks Carol
