Souvenirs
1 Flag symbol, the black double headed eagle, on red background. See it, on tee shirt, caps and these milk jugs at the airport. The milk jugs cost 12 euros each. I just bought a set of four small white jugs which are easier to clean, from Amazon, for half that price, but if you have leks and or euros to get rid of, these cute red milk jugs for your morning cup of coffee would be great. If I were to go back, I would buy one, possibly cheaper in a big supermarket or from a shopping mall, of which there is one large one near the airport and another large one the other side of the capital city of Tirana. Also, after your home and suffer from why didn't I buy non-buyers regret, loads online from Alibaba and others, red tee shirts, dresses, and eagle gold colour necklaces.

2 Wine - from the airport, but also the wineries you visit, so you can try before you buy.

3 Olive oil

4 Honey - runny honey and thick honey to go on yogurt, delicious.

5 Fig jam (mine is from Isak winery)

6 Cross-body fabric bags (i bought from a kiosk at Shkoder castle  north of Tirana). Three zip pockets down the front. Main pocket big enough for a mobile phone.  Light weight bag with wide strap. My favourite.

7 Lace flower necklaces (from a shop in castle alley in Tirana, the capital). Lovely choice of colours. the asking price was 10 euros each. I liked two. I immediately negotiated and got offered two for 15 euros. I bought both, one blue, one red (and white).

8 Outlets for big brands and shopping malls

9 Wedding dresses - huge choice from huge shops along the motorway from Tirana driving north past the white Disney type castles which are wedding venues.
