Can anyone please recommend what are the best goods to bye from Morocco (other than souvenirs)?

Souvenirs? Like t-shirts, keychains and stuff? I never saw much of that there......

Here are some fun Moroccan things to buy to decorate your place:

Rugs (even small ones)
Teapot/tray
Poufs (like little leather bean bag chairs)
Embroidery
Tea glasses
Woven baskets
Woven bowls
Pretty pottery
Tagines (plain or decorated)
Henna lamps
Spices

This was just the stuff off the top of my head.
Why don't you check out the sites below that sells things from Morocco so you will know what to look out for when you go? :D

Have fun!

I went to Morocco a year ago. To Tangers. As it's poor they don't have alot other than Souvenirs, but if your looking for a rug get one! As over here they are really expensive & they are made over there and are really cheap!
Jewelery is good too.

First and foremost is leather. IF you can find Moroccan leather (head south to find it), it is considered the best leather in the world.

You can find an abundance of spices, woodcrafts, clothing (cheap!), rugs, and other textiles.

beautiful silk carpets or textiles from fez for a good price which are difficult to get in usa. also, tangines from anywhere in morocco, which are a type of cook pot. the ones in usa are mostly ornamental so get a good tangine you can use. heavy to carry, though....

handicraft (thuya wood artifacts), paintings, carpets

I just returned from Morocco and I found some beautiful purses.. leather and woven ones, handcrafted wood jewelry boxes, blankets, scarves, and if you are in to shoes like me pick up some Cherbils.. they have some beautiful ones. I am also a fan of Trixol. It's an anise flavored gum, I have all my friends here hooked on it now. I also came back with a Jelaba which was made just for me at a local tailor, very comfy. Have a great time!

You can buy amazing pottery, handmade jewlery and awesome leather goods in Morocco, especially shoes and purses. Shopping is great there.
