Must-Buy in Bali! Six Categories, Over 30 Items Recommended by Fellow Travelers for Bali Souvenirs

Bottom Line First: Bali souvenirs are divided into 6 major categories with over 30 items, including cultural handicrafts (woven bags, batik fabric), coffee (including civet coffee), essential oil soaps, supermarket snacks (shrimp crackers, instant noodles, chili sauce), and more. Before purchasing, be sure to check Taiwan Customs’ prohibited items list to avoid having your hard-earned souvenirs confiscated.

Balinese Cultural Handicrafts

Balinese handicrafts are world-renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship and unique designs. These handicrafts include:

  • Wood Carvings: Wood carving is one of Bali’s signature crafts. These carvings, ranging from deities and animals to everyday items, are full of detail and vitality, making them excellent choices for home decor.
  • Stone Carvings: Similar to wood carvings, Balinese stone carvings showcase the artisans’ exceptional skills. You can find these exquisite pieces in temples, gardens, or as indoor decorations.

Local Food Specialties

美食特產

If you’re a food lover, Bali’s local specialties are not to be missed. Bringing some home not only extends the joy of your trip but also lets you share these delightful flavors with friends and family.

  • Coffee: Balinese coffee is renowned for its unique flavor and high quality. Coffee from Kintamani, in particular, has a subtle fruity aroma that’s beloved by visitors. Civet coffee (Kopi Luwak) is also a famous Balinese product, widely available in supermarkets with many different brands. However, be cautious when buying—given the scale of production and rarity, there’s a high chance of encountering counterfeit products.
  • Spices: Bali offers a wide variety of spices, from chili peppers, white pepper, bay leaves, turmeric, to cloves. These spices not only enhance your cooking but also make practical souvenirs.

Perfume / Essential Oils / Skincare

Secret Garden Perfume

raw-image

If you’re looking for a more refined souvenir that captures the essence of Bali, Secret Garden perfume is well worth adding to your shopping list. Secret Garden operates under the philosophy ‘Inspired by Earth, Made for You,’ and at Secret Garden Village in Bali, it combines beauty, fragrance, and cultural experiences. The complex even features a dedicated Fragrance Bar where you can sample a variety of scents.

What’s interesting about Secret Garden perfume is that many people only regret not buying more once they’re back home 😂 At the time in Bali, you might think to just try one bottle, but after returning, you find yourself loving the scent more and more, realizing it’s perfect for personal use and as a gift. Secret Garden offers not just perfumes but also diffusers, bath products, and more—plenty of options. So if you find a scent you truly love, I’d recommend buying several bottles; otherwise, you’ll wish you had bought more once you’re home.

If you want to purchase these diffusers or related fragrance products, besides visiting the Secret Garden Village headquarters in Tabanan to tour the lab, you can easily find counters at Beachwalk Shopping Center, Discovery Mall, and some Watsons stores in the city. For travelers on a tight schedule, the duty-free shops at Ngurah Rai International Airport are an excellent spot to shop, often offering deals like ‘buy two get one free’ or beautifully packaged diffuser gift sets. As of 2026, a local green shopping initiative is underway, and bringing your own shopping bag may earn you extra sample gifts. I recommend setting aside some time before boarding to stock up on this signature Balinese scent at the airport counter, extending the joy of your vacation back home.

ELLIPS Hair Oil and Hair Mask

raw-image

If you take care of your hair while traveling to Bali, ELLIPS is a fairly accessible and affordable Indonesian hair care brand. It has been around in Indonesia for years, with a product line that includes Hair Vitamin, Hair Mask, Hair Mist, and leave-in conditioners. The most common ELLIPS hair oil comes in small capsule packaging, which takes up almost no space in your suitcase and is perfect as a souvenir. According to official information, the Hair Vitamin focuses on nourishing, smoothing, and reducing damage from heat styling and sun exposure, while the Hair Mask targets dry, damaged, and split ends. If you’re buying for several friends and family at once, I highly recommend these small packages—they’re inexpensive and easy to distribute.

ELLIPS hair oil and hair masks are available at most supermarkets.

UTAMA SPICE Incense, Lip Balm, Face Oil

raw-image

UTAMA SPICE is a natural skincare brand from Ubud, Bali, founded in 1989. Its philosophy is rooted in Bali’s traditional herbal remedies and plant use. The brand offers a wide range of products, from incense, essential oils, and lip balms to facial care and body oils. The official website currently features lip balms in flavors like Cocoa, Peppermint, and Tangerine, as well as products like Argan Oil and Oily Face Serum. If you’re looking for souvenirs with a “Bali vibe,” I’d recommend the incense or lip balms—they’re small and easy to carry. For someone who loves natural skincare, the face oil is also worth considering. However, UTAMA SPICE has a huge variety, so make sure you know exactly which product you’re buying, as their uses and ingredients differ.

Frangipani Soap

raw-image

Frangipani (Plumeria) soap is a classic Bali-inspired souvenir. The frangipani flower is a quintessential tropical bloom in Bali, commonly seen in temples, hotels, spas, and streets, so its scent instantly evokes the island. There are many brands of frangipani soap on the market, not just one—some use coconut oil, palm oil, or olive oil as a base, infused with frangipani fragrance. The main appeal of this soap is that it’s easy to carry, easy to give as gifts, and usually inexpensive, making it perfect for buying in bulk. If you want to gift coworkers or friends without spending too much, frangipani soap is a safe choice. However, formulas vary widely by brand, so if you have sensitive skin, it’s best to check the ingredients first.

AZARINE Sunscreen

raw-image

AZARINE is an Indonesian local beauty and skincare brand with a product line that includes moisturizers, serums, and sunscreens. Its sunscreens are widely available in Indonesia. Common products include the Hydrasoothe Sunscreen Gel SPF45 PA++++ and Hydramax-C Sunscreen Serum SPF50 PA++++. For travelers to Bali, sunscreen is a very practical souvenir, as the sun is intense, and you’ll be exposed to UV rays at the beach, pool, and outdoor attractions. One advantage of AZARINE is its variety, allowing you to choose based on skin type and needs. However, sunscreen is a personal care product, and not every formula suits everyone, so don’t buy in bulk just because it’s popular in Indonesia—check the SPF, PA ratings, and your own skin requirements first.

HANASUI Sunscreen

HANASUI is another affordable Indonesian beauty brand commonly found in the country, offering a range of skincare and makeup products. Among them, the Collagen Water Sunscreen is a confirmed sun protection product, now available in SPF30 PA+++ and SPF50 PA++++ versions. The SPF50 PA++++ variant provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and is enriched with Mugwort extract, Vitamin E, and Hyaluronic acid. The brand also highlights its lightweight, easily absorbed texture. If you’re in Bali looking for budget-friendly Indonesian sunscreen, HANASUI is worth considering. Especially for those who frequently visit Indonesia and are accustomed to the tropical heat, sunscreen makes a practical souvenir. However, if you’re gifting it, opt for the SPF50 PA++++ version, which offers higher protection and broader use.

GOWWEE Perfume

raw-image

GOWWEE is an Indonesian perfume brand. According to its official website, the brand offers over 20 scents categorized into Floral, Fresh, Woody, Oriental, Musky, Citrus, and Spicy types. Current products include Visca, Velvet, Bloom, Only Her, Sunshine, and Anteros, along with Travel Size Mix mini bottles.

The brand’s official information states that some of its perfumes are crafted in the higher-concentration Extrait de Parfum format. If you’re looking for something beyond traditional Balinese fragrance oils—a more modern, everyday Indonesian perfume—GOWWEE is an intriguing choice. Since bulky souvenirs are a hassle for travel, the Travel Size mini bottles are especially convenient for packing in your luggage.

Sensatia Botanicals

Many travelers first encounter Sensatia Botanicals in their hotel or spa during a Bali trip. With body wash, shampoo, and lotions that boast soothing botanical scents and a strong Balinese spa vibe, it’s hard not to wonder, “Can I take this home?” The brand has ridden the wave of Bali tourism, evolving from hotel amenities to a staple on travelers’ souvenir lists.

If you’re tempted by Sensatia’s fragrances and wondering what to buy first, we’ve rounded up 9 must-have items, from popular bath products and body care to Bali-inspired specialties.

Bali Souvenir Recommendation: A Surprising Pineapple Cake Experience 🍍

峇里島伴手禮推薦:鳳梨酥的驚喜體驗

[Provided by Sannie Lin] Bali also has pineapple cakes, a beloved pastry! During my trip, I made a point to visit a shop called the Balinese, which I heard makes a particularly special version. However, when I arrived, they were out of stock and told me I needed to pre-order and come back in a few days.

Since our itinerary was tight, we decided to pick up the order on the day we were heading back to Taiwan. And we were not disappointed! The pineapple cakes came in a beautiful box, with about 30 pieces per box, priced at IDR 150,000 (around USD$10)—perfect for gifting or sharing with family and friends back home.

These pineapple cakes were a huge hit once we returned to Taiwan. My kids especially loved bringing them to school to share, and their classmates raved about this Balinese treat. The filling strikes a perfect balance of sweet and tangy, paired with a crispy crust—it’s impossible to stop at just one. ✨

Shopping Tip: To avoid a wasted trip, you can ask on-site or have your driver call ahead to check stock or reserve items for pickup. The Indonesian word for pineapple pastry is nastar (pronounced nah-star). This saves time and ensures you can pick up your order smoothly. The store’s info is available on Google Maps, with the detailed location link here: the Balinese Map.

If you’re looking for a unique souvenir from Bali, consider these pineapple pastries. They require advance ordering, but they’re absolutely worth the wait!

TICKET TO THE MOON Backpack

Ticket to the Moon (TTTM) is a souvenir brand with strong “Bali roots.” Founded in Bali in 1996, the brand first gained fame for its hammocks, later expanding into backpacks, sling bags, travel accessories, and upcycled products made from leftover materials.

Their backpacks are designed to be lightweight, durable, and travel-friendly, available in sizes like 15L, 25L, and 6L Mini Backpack. I especially recommend this type of souvenir for those who dislike buying things that “disappear after eating.” It’s not just a keepsake; it’s something you can actually use on your next trip. The brand also emphasizes upcycling and sustainability, with some products made from leftover fabric from hammock production. If you’re looking for a quality, practical item that represents Bali, I’d put TTTM at the top of the list.

Gery Chocolate Cookies

Gery Snack Bantal Cokelat is a chocolate-flavored snack from the Gery brand under Indonesia’s Garudafood. Shaped like little pillows, it’s called Bantal (pillow) in Indonesian. With a crispy texture and chocolate flavor, it’s a typical snack found in Indonesian supermarkets and convenience stores, but many Taiwanese netizens find it surprisingly delicious. The Gery brand itself was founded in 1997, offering products like cookies, wafers, and grain snacks.

Its biggest selling point isn’t “premium” but rather cheap, lightweight, and full of that everyday Indonesian snack vibe.

Garudafood’s Gery also offers many other chocolate-flavored snacks, which you can find at Indomaret, Alfamart, or larger supermarkets.
