Books on the BVI, its flora and fauna (not much, but there are small boa constrictors, mongooses, lizards and the smallest gecko in the world).

Upstairs is an espresso bar and internet cafe with free wi-fi and paintings by local artists. On Main Street in Road Town.
Locally-made souvenirs at Bamboushay which sells handmade pottery in a little wooden house on Main Street and has a pottery in Nanny Cay where you can visit and even try your hand at making some china yourself.
Unique BVI stamps at the Philatelic Bureau attached to the Post Office on Main Street.
Some tradition may be served by visiting Pusser's General Store, on the waterfront southwest side of Road Town, within sight of the cruise ship pier. Through the English tavern in front, they sell souvenirs and Pusser's Blue Label Rum...ostensibly made with the same recipe used by the British Royal Navy for centuries.
