Overview
Being at the cross roads of Asia with such a diverse blend of culture and where so many talented craftsmen have had access to an extraordinary wealth of raw materials with which to work makes Malaysia richly endowed artistically. And that makes for some great shopping. Below is a short list of some of the popular arts and artifacts that make interesting, unique and valuable gifts and souvenirs. Most can be found in various shops around Kuala Lumpur but for some items going to the source is always better (and more adventurous).

Smart Shopping Tips

	For electronic goods, have a good idea of what you want to buy and the manufacturer's recommended retail price (check the internet) before you set out. Be aware that model numbers and features may vary from your home country to reduce the price.
	Check on the voltage and cycle of all electronic and electrical products - this is especially true if you will be using the product in America.
	Check prices at several stores before buying.
	Test the good(s) before purchasing - make sure it works as advertised - especially important for electronic goods.
	Make sure what you buy is what is in the box before you leave the store.
	Keep the sales receipt in case you need to return the merchandise.
	Make sure that what you buy is allowed to be imported into your country.
