Be sure to try and bring Kindzmarauli, Saperavi, Mukuzani, Khvanchkara, or unique amber wines aged in qvevri. Chacha, a strong national drink reminiscent of grape vodka, is also an excellent souvenir for connoisseurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mineral water \u201cBorjomi\u201d, \u201cNabeghlavi\u201d, or \u201cLikani\u201d is a healthy and unusual gift that is easy to transport in luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> you can export no more than 3 liters of alcohol per person, and up to 5 liters of water and non-alcoholic drinks.

Sulguni, guda, dambalkhacho, or tenili: each of them is unique in taste and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among spices, be sure to take khmeli-suneli, Svanetian salt, and utskho-suneli: they will give home-cooked dishes a genuine Georgian aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sweets such as churchkhela (nuts in grape juice), tklapi (fruit leather), gozinaki (nuts with honey), baklava, and walnut or feijoa jam will all survive the journey well and make a delicious souvenir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/raznocvetnye-domasnie-sladosti-c-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/raznocvetnye-domasnie-sladosti-c-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/raznocvetnye-domasnie-sladosti-c-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/raznocvetnye-domasnie-sladosti-c-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/raznocvetnye-domasnie-sladosti-c-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/raznocvetnye-domasnie-sladosti-c-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/raznocvetnye-domasnie-sladosti-c-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#a3a3a3\">Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/ru.freepik.com\/premium-photo\/colorful-homemade-sweets-churchkhela_15937046.htm#fromView=search&amp;page=2&amp;position=30&amp;uuid=f8312fa3-d25b-4702-943f-33d44130dd87&amp;query=\u0447\u0443\u0440\u0447\u0445\u0435\u043b\u0430\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user15149018<\/a> \/ Freepik<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"kupit\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to buy gastronomic gifts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best places to buy are the central markets of Tbilisi (Dezerter Bazaar), Batumi (Boni Market), Kutaisi (Green Bazaar), as well as specialized wine shops and stores at wineries.

Minankari jewelry (earrings, pendants, bracelets, brooches) is handcrafted; each piece is unique and carries a piece of history. Such items can be found in the souvenir shops of Old Tbilisi and from local artisans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ceramics <\/strong>are another prominent example of Georgian craftsmanship. Especially popular are painted carafes, jugs, bowls, and traditional clay ketsi pans used to cook national dishes. These items are not only attractive, but also functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Felt products<\/strong> (the teka technique) include warm scarves, hats, slippers, and even handcrafted paintings. Felt souvenirs are particularly popular thanks to their variety of colors and national motifs, as well as their durability and warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pottery-asian-market-1-1-1-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pottery-asian-market-1-1-1-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pottery-asian-market-1-1-1-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pottery-asian-market-1-1-1-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pottery-asian-market-1-1-1-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pottery-asian-market-1-1-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/bizzz.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pottery-asian-market-1-1-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#a3a3a3\">Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freepik.com\/free-photo\/pottery-asian-market_1036750.htm#fromView=search&amp;page=26&amp;position=25&amp;uuid=244e835f-f20d-472d-a3f3-58e43082f070&amp;query=%D0%BA%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jcstudio<\/a> \/ Freepik<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"odezhda\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">National clothing, papakha, chokha, wine horn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgian national clothing is not only a colorful souvenir, but also a symbol of national character. The most recognizable element is the chokha, fitted wool clothing with cartridge holders traditionally worn by men. The chokha and papakha (a tall sheepskin hat) embody the courage and pride of the Georgian people. Such gifts are especially valued by collectors and ethnic wear enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wine horn is another iconic souvenir from Georgia. It is used for toasts at holidays and feasts. Horns come in various sizes and decorations, often adorned with carvings or metal fittings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"kukly\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dolls, interior souvenirs, antiques<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dolls in national costumes, painted plates, textiles, tapestries, and other home goods are an excellent gift option that will decorate any interior and remind you of Georgian hospitality. Antiques lovers should stop by the Dry Bridge Market in Tbilisi: here you can find antique jewelry, books, tableware, rare postcards, and Soviet-era artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"original\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Original and modern souvenirs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kosmetic\">Cosmetics based on natural ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgia is renowned not only for wines and spices, but also for natural cosmetics. In shops and pharmacies, it is easy to find creams, soaps, shampoos, and masks based on Georgian wine, honey, grape seeds, essential oils, and herbs. Particularly popular are brands that use local ingredients and traditional recipes. Such cosmetics make a practical and stylish gift that will delight anyone who values self-care and natural products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"design\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artisan items, designer souvenirs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern Georgian designers create unique jewelry, accessories, decorative items, and even clothing inspired by national motifs, but executed in a contemporary style. In souvenir shops and craft fairs you will find ceramic magnets with unusual illustrations, artisan notebooks, dishes with original painting, and bags and t-shirts with Georgian inscriptions or symbols. Such souvenirs from Georgia are a great way to support local artisans and bring home something truly exclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgia is a country with rich culture and unique traditions, and souvenirs from it will be a wonderful reminder of your journey. When choosing gifts from Georgia, focus on your preferences and budget, whether fragrant wine, elegant minankari jewelry, or cozy felt goods.
