[Souvenirs from Grenada] Southern island spices and vibrant batik are recommended!
1. Spices
If you're visiting Grenada as a tourist, be sure to check out the street known as "Spice Isle (Spice Street)." It's filled with piles upon piles of all kinds of spices. These make excellent souvenirs for those who enjoy cooking or baking.
You can find herbs, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla, and more — while they may be available in some places, they tend to be quite expensive. But here, you can buy high-quality spices at reasonable prices. Spices aren’t just for cooking — they can also be used in soaps as fragrances or as post-sun skincare packs.
In front of Spice Isle, there are also shops selling handicrafts, where you can find adorable souvenirs from Grenada.
2. Batik
A popular souvenir from Grenada is batik. Batik refers to wax-resist dyed fabrics and is one of the island’s specialties. Many shops in town sell batik pareos, shirts, and resort wear. Pareos are especially convenient to throw over a swimsuit, making them very useful at resorts!
One such shop is "Art Fabric Batik Boutique," where batik items made by individuals with hearing impairments are sold. They also offer handmade accessories and more, so please drop by if you get the chance.
3. Miscellaneous Goods
While a bit standard, souvenirs such as T-shirts, keychains, mugs, and magnets are also recommended. There are souvenir shops in central Grenada where you can pick out your favorite items. Stickers and mugs featuring the national flag of Grenada are also quite popular.
T-shirts are always handy to have in any quantity. They're recommended both as a personal souvenir and as gifts for family and friends — perfect for remembering your travels.
4. Drinks
Grenada is famous for its rum. You’ll find rum sold in colorful bottles throughout the island. If you enjoy alcoholic beverages, consider bringing some back as a souvenir. However, please note that there are restrictions on how much alcohol you can bring, so be careful.
Besides rum, sauces in colorful bottles are also popular souvenirs. These make great hidden flavors for cooking and are especially recommended for food lovers. Just keep in mind that buying too many will make your suitcase heavy!
5. Jams
Grenada is full of delicious fruits! The island offers a rich variety of exotic tropical fruits. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to bring fresh fruit in your baggage, so why not consider jams made from fruits and spices? Some are made from rare fruits and, though the jars are a bit heavy, they make perfect gifts for food lovers. They’re also recommended as souvenirs for yourself or your family as a memory of your trip. You can buy them at shopping malls in town.
◎ Summary
Grenada is known as a spice-producing island, with nutmeg being especially famous. There’s even rare nutmeg jam, so if you find it in a supermarket, be sure to give it a try. In addition, the island offers cute handicrafts. Hopefully, you’ll find the perfect souvenir to take home!
