I buy lots of sarongs from Jalan Double Six especially sheer embroidered or "different" looking ones (from usual floral prints), sheer silk like shawls with beaded edges or embroidery,soft overshirts (to wear over swimmers),table runners and place mats and cushion covers. Lots of silver beads, silver jewellery findings,chains and whatever readymade silver jewellery I find that is different. Lots of the more expensive beads from the bead shops near the Bintang Supermarket. Paintings - some already painted and some I have painted to order from pictures I take over. Wooden carved items - try to find things that are a bit unusual and that you don't see back in Australia. Tin things - jewellery stands, tin geckos and fish for the wall..the bronze look ones not the painted ones. Lamps and shades.
