Any shopping in Nassau besides jewelry/watches/booze?

[perditax]

Can anyone recommend specific places to shop near the port that are not diamonds/watches/booze? I'd be interested in the following, in a non-harassing setting (is that even possible?):

Reasonably priced souvenirs
Electronics that are not cameras
Cafes/coffee shops with wifi
Packaged food items that are not rum-based
Mid-range purses (real or fake, I'd just like to look at them, sans harassment)
Clothing (beachy clothing or normal clothing, either way)

Thanks in advance!

(I'm a newbie cruiser, I got off the ship during my first cruise in St Thomas, determined to spend money, but couldn't find anything but diamonds/watches/booze/cigarettes.)

IMO, the sales pressure wasn't too high at most of the Nassau shops (it's ladies with long hair at the dock that need to lock out for pushy hair braiders!!!), but there also wasn't anything particularly attractive to buy, either! Maybe I just didn't go to the right places. But near the port it was mainly the items you mention and cheap, tacky souvenirs. I'll be interested in seeing other replies for future reference myself.

On my last cruise to Nassau, the fake bags (Coach, etc.) were in an upstairs showroom at an unmarked building past the straw market. You kind of have to have an ear to the ground, and it should go without saying ... but don't go anywhere alone.

Thanks for replies. Doesn't sound promising. I can only assume that the profits on jewelry/watches are so high that it doesn't pay to set aside retail space for the random kind of mid-range shopping I'm picturing, or else it's just too hard to supply. I noticed the same thing in St Thomas. I would have killed just for a well stocked drugstore and a place to buy some casual clothes. I would have been vaguely amused to price out some crappy Beats headphones. All I got was Diamonds International.
