Cochin is a great place to shop for typical Keralan handicrafts. Wood carvings and the brass diyas that can come up to waist level or higher make great buys. Cochin's antique market has some good finds. Coir matting and carpets are cheapest here than perhaps anywhere else except probably Alleppey. Look out for interesting handicrafts made from metal too, especially Kerala's famous mirrors or kannady. Kerala has good spices and cashews. And its salties like jackfruit chips and banana chips are great stuff to take home.
