Fiji’s local handicrafts, island art and carvings are quite the souvenir to take home. At the local markets look for these traditional Fijian products.
Kava: Used in many traditional ceremonies kava is an integral part of Fijian’s life. The plant’s root is ground into powders and made into beverages that give the drinker a relaxed feeling. Too much, and you just might fall asleep.
Pearl: Considered to be rarest in the world, pearls in Fiji are unique in colour. Pearl-made jewellery is highly sought-after on the island, and you can tour pearl farms with J Hunter Pearls in Savusavu.
Wood carvings: Traditional handmade wood carving products come in many forms. While visiting the islands, look for pieces connected to Fiji’s rich history, including cannibal forks, turtle figures and carvings, and traditional Mako masks.
Coconut shells: Delicately handcrafted, coconut shell bowls are used to serve kava drinks. You’ll also find them made into containers, trinkets, jewellery and other quaint decorative pieces.
Tapa cloth painting: A decorated cloth made from mulberry or breadfruit tree barks, Tapa contains intricate motifs that feature various traditional patterns, flowers, and animals. Beautiful on any mantle, bedroom wall, or as a gift.
Beauty products: Pure Fiji beauty products are made from locally-sourced ingredients and are eco-friendly. Completely organic, Pure Fiji offers spa oils, face creams, shampoos, conditioners, and soaps.
