Oh, and also, of course, for non-food-ish souvenirs, the Desert Botanical Garden has a nice little gift shop as well, open during our welcome reception: http://gardenshop.dbg.org/ . - A On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 10:40 PM, Alex Halavais <alex@halavais.net> wrote:
Hmm. I don't know that there is specific Phoenix/Arizona omiyage-type foods. You'll find cactus candy (made from prickly pear) in some places. Goldwaters (yes, that Goldwater--http://www.goldwaters.com/) makes jarred salsa and prickly pear jelly--sensing a theme? Beyond that, there's beer (Four Peaks or SanTan), and Fairytale Brownies (http://www.brownies.com/) are made locally, but shipped as gifts nationally. You could try bringing back tacos, but that would be tricky.
Outside of edible souvenirs, you might try the Heard Museum's gift shop (http://www.heardmuseumshop.com/). Some of their items are a bit on the spendy side. Alternatively, in Old Town Scottsdale, there is Kactus Jock (http://www.kactusjock.com/) which is heavy on the souvenir items.
(Note, once you are over to Scottsdale, there is a free trolley that can make it a bit easier to get around Scottsdale: http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/trolley )
Best,
Alex

On a related note, what kind of food is good to look for and take home as souvenirs?
