Bohol Souvenirs and Handicrafts

Souvenirs and Handicrafts shopping for souvenirs and other memorabilia is available in a number of good outlets. You can find Bohol crafts and decors, Tarsier dolls, shells, pearls, and purses. Items worth buying are baskets, jewellery and wooden furniture.

Tarsier Key-chain souvenirs are soooo cute & are cheapest at the first stop of the Countryside Tour -- the Blood Compact Site.

Try the calamay - made from coconut and molasses, hard to describe, just try it. Peanut Kisses is Bohol's number one pasalubong. These kisses are made with peanut and eggwhite cookies and very much resemble the infamous Chocolate Hills. Peanut-based products are very popular in Bohol.

You can get wonderful souvenirs along Alona Beach, at the malls, and even when you go scuba diving near Balicasag Island (they will row and board your boat). There are also wonderful shops across from the Hanging Bridge as well as the Bohol Bee Farm. If you like purses, you have to go to Bohol Bee Farm.

Some recommended buying locations:

• Blood Compact Monument - for Chocolate Kisses.
• Baclayon Church - get lifesize tarsier stuffed toys for clinging around your arms/legs.
• Loboc River - Bohol delicacies and printed t-shirts for gifts.
• Chocolate Hills - souvenir T shirts and local crafts.
