Apart from being known for its stunning orchids and intriguing wildlife, the island in Southeast Africa is also gaining love from all over the world for its local products. So it's a good idea to buy some of them for your home.

These items will remind you of the time you spent on this wonderful island country. Forget about the usual fridge magnets and candies; Newsbytesapp.com has prepared a list of more interesting souvenirs.

Baobab seeds

One of the most popular products in Madagascar is baobab seeds. These are small gray seeds that take about three years to germinate. When they thrive, they turn into beautiful plants that will make you come back for more. Most tourists return home with a small bag of these seeds.

Madagascar coffee

One of the most expensive coffees in the world, Madagascar coffee is a real treat for your taste buds. The coffee, which is mainly produced in the Robusta variety and is known for its high quality, is so good that it is also exported to many European countries.

When browsing the markets in search of the perfect souvenir, be sure to include this item on your list.

Wicker products

Artisans in Madagascar create wonderful products from plant fibers that you should definitely try. They mostly use raffia, reeds, straw, and palm to make incredibly artistic hats, baskets, mats, and many home decor items. You'll find these products in a variety of sizes, shapes, designs, and colors all over the country, so they're easy to buy.

Essential oils

A "must-have" gift that you simply cannot miss when shopping in Madagascar. You may get confused in your choice due to the large number of essential oils available. From vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and clove to black pepper, geranium, niaouli, and ravintsara, there is something for everyone.

Pewter items

If there is one thing you can buy that is truly Madagascar, it is certainly the famous pewterware that this country produces. Made from recycled empty tin cans and sheets, you can add a variety of toys, glasses, jugs, and many other home items to your cart.

You can buy these eco-friendly souvenirs for daily use or as decorative items.
