souvenir shop information please!!

Hello, I am going to be on a mexican riviera cruise that stops at puerta vallarta. I am looking to buy a lot of mexican toy flutes, bobble heads, maracas, etc... for a cinco de mayo party. Could anyone recommend a shop that would sell these type of inexpensive mexican souvenirs.  We are also stopping at Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas if those locations are better for these types of souvenirs. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The flea market in Puerto Vallarta will have your souvenirs. Very easy to grab a taxi or Uber there. The area is right around the corner from the Malecon- perfect way to spend an afternoon!

All three ports will have the stuff you are looking for.  Cabo is the most Americanized, and is the least likely to have it at decent prices.

 

I would think your best bet is the Central Market in Mazatlán, but I recommend that you stock up at the first of PV or Mazatlán, just to take the pressure off!

Funny but I would guess that most of that sort of stuff is actually made in China and not Mexico.

I'd just go to Party City(or similar) near your home instead of buying during your cruise!

Thank you everyone for your responses. Actually the items i am looking for I have bought in cancun and cozumel before and they are authentic from Mexico. I will check out the mazatlan and puerta vallarta spots that Mike and Jenn recommended. Thanks again for your input. I really appreciate it.
