If you’re looking for Colombian gifts and souvenirs that feel meaningful, artistic, and easy to travel with, these ideas go far beyond the typical tourist options. Each one captures a different facet of Colombia – its nature, culture, creativity, and everyday beauty.
1. Handmade Jewelry Plates Inspired by Colombian Nature
Small, beautiful, and full of symbolism, handmade jewelry plates make ideal Colombian souvenirs. Molded and hand-painted by local artists, these pieces feature icons of Colombia’s biodiversity and warmth, such as capybaras, hummingbirds, wax palms, and Guayacán trees.
They’re practical and decorative, perfect for holding jewelry, keys, or treasured objects while reminding you of Colombia’s natural beauty.
2. Greeting Cards with Botanical Illustrations
For a lightweight and thoughtful gift, a set of illustrative botanical cards are a favorite among all. Featuring hand-drawn illustrations of some of Colombia’s most emblematic flora, these cards celebrate the country with elegance and detail.
Each set includes five different designs, with a blank inside and five simple envelopes, making them easy to pack and perfect for gifting… or keeping as an artful memento.
3. Art Prints That Capture the Essence of Colombia
Art is one of the most powerful ways to bring a place home with you. Colombian art prints, created by local artists, capture the country’s spirit through color, emotion, and perspective, from nature and emblematic sites to the simplicity of daily Colombian life.
A variety of art prints by different local artists allows you to select what speaks most to you or your experience in Colombia through the eyes of a local.
4. “Colombia, Tierra Querida” Puzzle | Art You Can Play With
This is a souvenir that surprises people. The “Colombia, Tierra Querida” puzzle transforms an original artwork by a Colombian artist into a creative, interactive experience.
Packaged in a recycled paint can and designed for easy travel, it’s both practical and artistic, perfect for anyone who loves design, sustainability, and playful ways to connect with Colombian culture.
5. Pencil Cases Inspired by Colombian Markets
Everyday objects can be beautiful, and these illustrated pencil and utility cases prove it. Featuring vibrant scenes from Colombian markets, they reflect the color, movement, and charm of daily life across the country.
Versatile and timeless, they’re ideal for chargers, makeup, pencils, or travel essentials, making them souvenirs that stay useful long after the trip ends.

Our collection is intentionally small and thoughtful, steering clear of mass-produced items, so you’ll find gifts you simply won’t see in traditional souvenir shops.
