While attracting attention for its natural resources and stunning landscapes, Suriname also offers an exciting shopping experience you won't want to miss.

From local handicrafts to authentic edibles, there's so much to buy to create memories that will last a lifetime. Newsbytesapp.com has prepared a list with five souvenirs from Suriname that you can buy on your way back.

Borgoe

Suriname, like most other Caribbean countries, is known for its rum. Borgoe is one of the rums offered in this beautiful island country. It attracts attention with its rich flavor and composition.

This drink has 38% ABV and aroma of honey and citrus, and is quite delicate on the palate with notes of vanilla. It is easily available in all supermarkets.

Hammock

The hammock is one of the most important attributes of Suriname, so you should pick up one or two when you get home.

Available in a variety of designs, colors, prints and sizes, they can add a Surinamese touch to your home decor. In most markets in the country, they are always heavily discounted, so it's easy to buy them.

Pangi

A pangi is a traditional piece of cloth, usually a skirt, that comes in a variety of prints, patterns, and colors. It can be worn by both men and women, and can be used as a towel or to decorate a space.

If not as a skirt, you can also wear it as a scarf. For the best selection, head to Saramaccastraat.

Gourd handicrafts

Despite being a fruit, it is inedible due to its poisonous properties. However, local artisans carve it into various shapes, making it a creative addition to your decor. This is the perfect souvenir to remember your trip to Suriname.

Surinamese Monopoly game

Monopoly is a world-famous game, the perfect souvenir to take with you or give to friends or family.

It's a very popular pastime among locals and can be purchased in souvenir shops or toy stores throughout the island. Alternatively, you can also buy Surinamese keychains or magnets.
