Once an important export, Saban lace is now the traditional souvenir of a trip to the island. The history of local lace-making started in the 1870s, when Mary Gertrude Johnson returned to Saba from Venezuela, where she had learned the art in a Caracas convent. She passed her knowledge on to local women and the skills have been passed down through the generations. It's pretty stuff, if pricey. Saba Artisan Foundation has an outlet in The Bottom selling home-made crafts including lace and linen products.

If you're after something a bit stronger, Saba Spice is a potent rum-based herby liqueur made locally.
