Here are a few things worth bringing home with you to keep a little piece of the island long after your trip is over.

Ceylon Tea

One of the most popular souvenirs from Sri Lanka. Black, green or white tea from the island’s mountain plantations is a wonderful way to take a taste of Sri Lanka home with you.

Spices

Ceylon cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, cloves, black pepper and local spice blends can bring a little taste of Sri Lanka into your own kitchen.

Ayurvedic Cosmetics & Oils

Natural oils, skincare products and cosmetics made with traditional Ayurvedic ingredients make thoughtful and practical souvenirs for yourself or your loved ones.

Tropical Fruits & Sweets

Mangoes, pineapples, bananas, coconut sweets and other local treats are a delicious way to bring a taste of the tropics home with you.

Precious & Semi-Precious Stones

Sri Lanka is particularly famous for its sapphires. If you decide to purchase a gemstone or piece of jewellery, choose a reputable seller and always ask for a certificate of authenticity.

Local Red Rum

For those looking to try something a little different, Sri Lanka’s local red rum is worth discovering. It is a popular drink and a unique gastronomic souvenir to bring home from the island.

And, of Course, Something That Reminds You of the Island

Because the best souvenir is the one that takes you back to the warm ocean, swaying palms and unforgettable days spent in Sri Lanka.
