Local antique malls have proven to be a treasure trove for unique, well made gifts at afordable price points.

Don't forget that many vendors are willing to negotiate on prices so be sure to ask what their best price is before making a purchase. Even if the vendor isn't on site, the people working the mall will be more than happy to contact him or her on your behalf.
