Hi
we stayed at the Nusa Dua Beach and Spa in Oct and yes the Galleria had not much there. we walked north up the beach past Club Med and there is a small lane at the end with a small set of shops including Jimmy Shop JI Pratama Art Market. Jimmy sells thongs (the Feet kind), tshirts, watches (bali rolex), sarangs etc and other shops sell wood carvings etc. Jimmy also does lovely temp tattoos - which the boys got dragons and eagles all done freehand. Wayan sells lovely wood carvings there. At the end of the lane there is a shop that you can buy Bintang, chips etc. As you are walking along the beach you can organise a brilliant deal for the jetskiis etc - it got cheaper everytime we walked along there. There is also a guy who does leather work.
there is also a strip of shops near the entrance gates and the lady in shop 10 will do great deals with tshirts etc. the kids are great around there and we gave them balloons and bubble blowers and their faces were priceless.
feel free to contact me for any more info
