Sala Dalles
The traditional fair at Sala Dalles will be open until Christmas Eve. It takes the form of a small shopping gallery where visitors can find all manner of gifts for loved ones: clothes, toys, jewelry, sweets, organic cosmetic products, Christmas decorations and candles, plus food and beverages, all beautifully wrapped. A cup or similar item engraved with a message can be a personalized present for someone special.

Anthony Frost
Tucked away opposite the Kretzulescu Church, this little place has now been impressing local bookworms for four years. Open until 20.00 on weekdays and with a central location, Anthony Frost is a good spot to pick up gifts for friends and family after work in one fell swoop, as its extensive stock runs the gamut from children’s stories to the latest literary sensations.

Arte & Vino
While its Romanian-language-only website makes Art & Vino a little less foreigner friendly, this is another business run by proper wine people. The bottles stocked come from Romania, Eastern Europe, the traditional wine-making nations of Western Europe and the New World.
