According to the Martinique Promotion Bureau, THE things to shop for in the way of souvenirs include Crafts, Madras, Creole Jewelry, and Rum.

Here's what the rundown on these items from the bureau's website:

Craft Industry
Coral jewelry, bamboo trinkets, wooden sculptures, wickerwork, pottery and Creole dolls dressed in madras. These are just some of the handmade goods that you can find at the Centre des Metiers d'Art in Fort-de-France, the craft market at la Savane and souvenir shops around the island.

Clothes
Madras, the material that was used to make Creole costumes, is still used to make clothes today (dresses, shirts, wrap-arounds.) Madras clothing is a wonderful ready-to-wear souvenir.

Candy
Candied fruit, coco bars, "douce-lettes" (a specialty combining coconut, milk and sugar), and many other treats are all made from our succulent tropical fruits.
