souvenir shopping
Talisman on Republic Avenue is a great little souvenir shop with T-shirts, felt products, leather paintings, traditional musical instruments, desk sets, and even jewelery and stuffed leopards. A bit expensive and the staff watches you very carefully to make sure you don't shoplift, but great variety.
TSUM also has a nice little souvenir shop in the second floor with all the traditional Kazakh souvenirs.
