You’ve seen the sights, enjoyed the varied local delicacies, had your adrenaline rush fix. Now, you want to have that perfect souvenir for yourself to remind you of an amazing vacation. And some items for your friends and family as well back home. Finding the best souvenirs is always a challenge, especially if you are unable to speak the language. You may end up walking around for hours and still miss the best places and souvenir shops. To help you out, here are some of the top souvenir items to get when you visit Indonesia: Batik Fabric, Local Wood Carvings, Wayang Puppets, Gamelan Instruments, Batik Paintings, Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee), Silver Crafts, Batik Coasters and Indonesian Traditional Snacks.

If you are not yet done with your trip, and you are still planning to move around Indonesia. Small and light items would be best. You will never go wrong with buying Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee) for the coffee lovers back home. Kopi Luwak is made with partly digested coffee cherries which are eaten and then excreted by the Asian palm civet. This form of processing is very unique to Indonesia and although it may sound not so appetizing, people will tell you just how unique and amazing the coffee tastes. Also buy several Batik Fabric and Batik Coasters, the fabric is perfect for female friends and family members who appreciate unique designs and textiles. While the coasters are perfect for your grandmother, mother and aunts who love drinking and serving tea, these make the best coasters imaginable.

Don’t forget those traditional snacks. These are great presents to take back home, after all, who doesn’t enjoy trying something new. These will make great gifts for everyone back home who love snacks. Your relatives, friends, family, mothers, fathers and even the kids will love it.
