Gate-side in POS North Terminal
Just past security in the North Terminal at Piarco (POS), the simply named Souvenir Shop covers the basics T&T visitors look for before boarding. It sits in the departures area, so you can grab last-minute gifts without backtracking landside. Stock shifts a bit by season, but you’ll always see Trinidad and Tobago flags, keychains, and T-shirt designs built around local slang and steelpan.
Prices run airport-level: small keychains or magnets often sit in the TT$20–TT$40 range, while T-shirts and caps push higher into typical duty-paid territory. You’ll also spot soft items like beach towels and simple tote bags with “Trinidad & Tobago” prints. If you want something small to hand out to friends, stick to multipacks of pens or keyrings rather than larger decor pieces that eat up carry-on space.
The shop focuses on quick-grab souvenirs rather than high-end craft; think printed mugs, shot glasses, and fridge magnets more than handmade art. Stock is clearly aimed at international departures from the North Terminal, so most labels and packaging are in English and priced in Trinidad and Tobago dollars. If you’re after food gifts like local pepper sauce or snacks, you’ll usually need to check nearby duty free or restaurants instead.
Plan 5–10 extra minutes before your boarding time to browse; lines spike right after security when multiple gates in the North Terminal load at once. One simple move: pick out your items first, then sort what actually fits in your personal item before you join the register queue.
