What Kinds of Gifts and Souvenirs Can I Find?
The rich artistic tradition of Bali makes it a great place to find beautiful handicrafts for gifts and souvenirs. Signature handicrafts and souvenirs from Bali include paintings, wood carvings, gold and silver jewelry, stone sculptures, traditional fabrics such as batik and ikat, ceramics, aroma oils, and coffee (kopi Bali or kopi luwak).
Gifts can be found at local markets such as the Ubud Market and Denpasar Traditional Market, or at many shops in Ubud. Villages around Ubud offer specialties, such as wood carving in the village of Mas or stone carving in Batubulan. Be sure to bargain for good prices at traditional markets.
