TL;DR

Prices vary a lot depending on the type of souvenir — from local markets to sweets shops — and for dates as gifts it's worth looking for a shop with nice gift packaging.

At Senzo Mall, souvenir prices are fixed. Sheraton has a wider, more interesting souvenir selection, but prices are negotiable and bargaining is expected.

When buying souvenirs to take home, keep the receipt with you.

Purchase receipt

A traveler asked where to find nice-looking souvenirs at fair (not inflated) prices — no specific shop or address was given in reply.

Another traveler asked which specific brand/type of dates to buy as a gift (for good taste), requested a photo of the packaging as reference, and asked about other good gift ideas besides dates.

Dates as a gift

A local pointed out that souvenir prices and options depend heavily on what you're looking for — general souvenirs and edible gifts (sweets, dates) are sold in different places at different price points.
