Does the market here have souvenirs? Are there other places for reasonably priced souvenirs? Thanks

Campo de'Fiori market is more of a food market, but there are couple of stalls selling T-shirts, too. Reasonably-priced souvenirs can be found all over the city, anyway.

As Thirsty is saying, it is more of a food and flower marked.
I am not much of a souvenir buyer, but I recall a lot of shops selling souvenirs around the Trevi Fountain. Especially if you follow the street north(?) towards Pantheon. And they have superb gelato in the gelatoshop on the right hand corner of the fountain (facing the fountain). YUM!

That's like asking if Roma has any fountains. Of course, there are souvenirs to purchase, as well as all kinds of things that one may purchase in the piazza at Campo Di'Fiore. True, it has a fresh flower, fruit, and vegetable market in the center of the piazza, but restaurants and stores surround the square. Turn a corner of any street in the center of Roma and a souvenir store can be found. The prices are all over the place, so it is up to you to decide what you are looking for and if it is reasonable to you. I would not like to go to Roma or any other historic city in the world and be concerned about the cost of souvenirs. If you like, you buy.

They didn't seem to have a lot of souvenir type things there, but I did find a really nice hooded sweatshirt that had the word Italia embroided on the front. I can't remember exactly what I paid for it, but I know it was the cheapest I had seen in Rome and it's a really nice sweatshirt. You shouldn't have any trouble finding reasonably priced souvenirs. Just find the item you're looking for then watch for it at other stores so you can compare the prices. Unfortunately a lot of the tourist stores sell exactly the same products, but it is a good way to find the same item for less money. Have a great trip!

Yes, the prices on the tourist shops are of course higher than on the streets. I'm not a big souvenir buyer either, I like to buy more practical things with the symbols of the places I visit. In Rome I bought 3 T-shirts (5 € each, they sell them everywhere) and an Italy-shaped bottle opener.
