So, you’ve soaked up the Bali sun, dodged a few scooters, and now it’s time for the most important mission—finding the perfect souvenirs for the women in your life. Whether it’s your mum, sister, bestie, girlfriend, or wife, you can’t come home empty-handed (unless you fancy a lifetime of passive-aggressive comments). But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with a list of the best travel gifts for her—things she’ll actually love (and not just politely pretend to).
Silver Jewellery from Celuk – From IDR 200K
If you want a gift that screams “I put thought into this”, Balinese silver jewellery is a solid choice. The artisans in Celuk Village handcraft stunning rings, earrings, and pendants. Plus, silver is light in your luggage, meaning more room for snacks on the way home.
Tip: Look for the 925 stamp to ensure it’s real silver. Bargain like a pro, or just check Tengah to see what others have paid.
Handmade Batik Robes – From IDR 250K
Bali’s batik robes are like wearing a piece of art. Whether she lounges in it on Sundays or uses it as a chic beach cover-up, it’s a win. Ubud’s markets and boutique stores like Biasa or BaliZen have stunning options.
Bonus: You’ll look cultured for knowing what “batik” is.
Spa-Quality Skincare – From IDR 100K
Bali’s natural beauty products are so good, you might be tempted to keep them for yourself. Brands like Sensatia Botanicals, Utama Spice, and Bali Balance offer everything from coconut body scrubs to frangipani-scented oils.
Ideal for: Mums who love self-care, girlfriends who steal your skincare products, and sisters who insist they’re “not high maintenance.”
Rattan Bags – From IDR 150K
You’ve seen them all over Instagram—those round woven bags that scream “I just got back from Bali.” Markets in Ubud, Canggu, and Seminyak are full of them, and they’re perfect for carrying absolutely nothing, except maybe a phone and some lip balm. Check out our guide to Seminyak Flea Markets where you’ll find a great selection of them.
Tip: If she’s the practical type, go for a larger rattan tote instead.
Balinese Coffee & Tea – From IDR 50K
If she’s a coffee or tea lover, Bali’s locally grown beans and herbal teas will be a hit. Look for Kintamani coffee (smooth with citrus notes) or try lemongrass and ginger tea for a Bali-in-a-cup experience.
Pro tip: Skip the overpriced airport packs—local markets sell the same stuff for a fraction of the price.
Handmade Balinese Fragrance – From IDR 150K
Forget duty-free perfume—Bali’s natural roll-on fragrances are divine. Satori and Bali Alus create scents like vanilla, jasmine, and sandalwood, perfect for those who want to smell like a tropical goddess.
Best for: Wives, girlfriends, and anyone who loves smelling amazing (so, everyone?).
Custom-Made Dresses – From IDR 400K
If you’re feeling extra generous, tailor-made clothing in Bali is a game-changer. Shops in Seminyak and Ubud can whip up dreamy dresses, linen sets, or flowy maxis in a matter of days.
Tip: Just make sure you get her actual size right, or your gift might turn into an awkward situation.
