Traveling to Grenada? Don't forget to buy these souvenirs
What's the story
Souvenirs are the best way to keep a record or memory of your #vacationdiaries. And when it comes to a country like Grenada, which has so much to offer right from its mouth-watering treats to local handicrafts, it is a no-brainer to bring a piece of its culture back with you. Here are five things you should buy on your way back.
Item 1
Nutmeg products
Factually, Grenada is the second largest producer of nutmeg, which is reason enough for you to buy this spice during your visit. It is widely available across the island country and in a diverse variety of products. Besides buying whole nutmeg, you can also sample nutmeg syrup, ground nutmeg, and nutmeg oil. The latter can be used to relieve muscle pain and stiffness.
Item 2
Coral jewelry
There's no way you can miss out on buying coral jewelry for yourself or your lady love from this stunning island destination. Sourced locally and made by Grenadian craftsmen, these jewelry pieces feature brightly colored corals and are available in the form of earrings, rings, necklaces, etc. You can buy them at various tourist shops across the country at reasonable prices.
Item 3
Spices for home decor
Did you know that Grenada is also known as the "Isle of Spice"? Well, now you do! The most interesting part is that besides getting your hands on whole spices, there is also something called spice necklaces that you can buy as souvenirs. They are a string of aromatic spices like cloves, cinnamon, turmeric, nutmeg, etc which aren't worn but used as home decor.
Item 4
Chocolate products
Another famous memento to buy from Grenada is chocolate products which are available in a huge variety. The country grows chocolate and is home to several factories that make chocolate bars, chocolate liquors, truffles, whole cocoa beans, powder, and so much more. So while taking a tour around, ensure that you are gorging on some local chocs and buying them for home too.
Item 5
Grenandian batiks
Batiks are colorful wax-dyed fabrics that are used and worn by locals in various ways. The variety is so diverse that you may become spoilt for choice as the style has been incorporated to make blankets, clothing, and even art pieces. They are authentic, non-perishable, and totally bang for the buck.
