It’s widely thought that designer clothing is exclusively expensive and you can afford to buy only socks in design shops (and sometimes even not that :D). Of course, if you go shopping on Big Konyushennaya streets with DLT mall, Dior’s and Yves Saint Laurent’s boutiques previous sentences can be true. But if you know local spots you will find an offbeat little stores with cool stuff of Saint P’s and Moscow’s designers and second-hand shops almost everywhere.
If you want some unique souvenirs it’s better to buy them in some little places, avoiding tourist’s shops near main attractions. It can be a little bit more expensive but in that case you’ll have a real handmade treasure.

It is actually a great place for treasure hunting if you're in the mood for this kind of things, though it might be a bit difficult to find: from metro Udelnaya go to the right, cross the railways, then turn to the right and keep going as long as you can (there will be some crappy shoe/clothes kiosks, just ignore them)

It's one of their centrally located shops, so would be handy, if you're looking for souvenirs. It might be quite pricy – from 20 to 100€ per piece, but those gorgeous colourful shawls would be a great gift both to your granny or a girlfriend.

Expiry date for most of products is not more than 5 days from the day of production and they do taste great. Fresh bread and milk shakes are also on offer, so the place could be a good option for getting a light snack on the go.

Nice and not extremely expensive chocolates and sweets would make a good souvenir. Shops can be found around the most of metro stations. I recommend Osoby ("special") chocolate - plain one with a bit of salt, truffle-looking ones (Clown, Cosmicheskye etc) are lovely too

It can be recommended as a breakfast option or one of alternative concert spots, though do check the playbill first. They also organize board games nights (you can ask for games free of charge, while there during the day) and some art markets. Entrance to the evening/night events would cost 6-12€.
