Shops across downtown Anchorage sell quintessential Alaskan products, from smoked and canned wild salmon, birch syrup and berry jams to qiviut wool, gold-nugget jewellery and Alaska-themed gifts. These make distinctive and delicious souvenirs of a visit to the far north. Buying local Alaskan products supports the states producers and offers visitors an easy way to take home a taste and a memory of Anchorage and the wider wilderness that surrounds it.
