With a great tradition of gifting and sharing, Mauritius is a real goldmine, and no one can just return from this landscape, without a souvenir or great buy. So, if you too are confused about what to buy during your honeymoon in Mauritius, then here are some of the great things to consider:
Rum
One of the largest exporters of products derived from sugarcane, Mauritius is famous for Rum among tourists. However, try to buy one oscillating between Pink Pigeon Rum (vanilla-infused) or Chamarel Rum (several flavors) – which are mostly the finest.
Tea
With a homegrown version of the beverage, you can also consider visiting the Bois Chéri tea factory and choose from a great variety of blends.
The dodo
Native to Mauritius, the world’s famous bird is also a great thing to buy from Mauritius. Although you can’t get your hands on the real bird (considering their extinction), you can find almost everything dodo-emblazoned like t-shirts, caps, bags, key rings andflip-flops.
Impossible bottle
There had been hundreds of shipwrecks in the waters at Mauritius, and artisans have been reproducing those incidents in an amazing manner, timelessly sealing them in clear bottles.
Colored earth
One of the must buy from Mauritius is the seven-colored earth from the Chamarel. Available in test tube sized samples, always buy it from the boutiques in Chamarel, to avoid being duped.
In addition to the aforementioned things, you can also consider buying the following from Mauritius:
- Traditional Sega (Mauritius local Music) compilation
- Phoenix beer
- Special sugars
- The ravanne
