Colombian gift ideas for large budgets

#1 A trip to Colombia

Let’s start this list with the number one gift for someone who loves Colombia: a trip to their favorite country in the world!

I know it’s a rather expensive gift, but if you have the budget, this is definitely my best tip.

Experience gifts are the best gifts you can give. And that’s not just my opinion. Check out these facts about experience gifts here.

So, head over to Skyscanner and book a flight and hotel to Colombia now.

Alternatively, you could also book a tour or fun activity in Colombia on Viator. This is a great gift if the recipient already has a flight to Colombia.

If you are not sure what kind of tours the recipient loves, or if you are not sure about the dates of their trip, you can also go for the Viator gift card (global experiences card). With this card, recipients can choose a Viator tour themselves.

#2 Handmade bag from Colombia

This beautiful handmade mochila bag is made by Colombian artisans in the north of the country.

Colorful mochilas (bags) are one of the most common Colombian souvenirs, which makes them great Colombian gifts too. Keep in mind that each bag is handmade, so the bag in the photo might be sold out already, but just check out NOVICA for other mochila designs.

And if you buy your bag from NOVICA, you’re not only receiving a beautiful high-quality bag, but you’re also supporting local artisans and their communities. Because NOVICA provides fair wages and uses part of its profits to give back to the artisans’ communities.

#5 Colombian games

If you are looking for souvenirs from Colombia for game lovers, there are two cool games you can go for.

The second option is the frog game or sapo game. This is a fun outdoor game, where players have to throw rings and gain points. The person who reaches a certain amount of points first wins.
