I did some shopping in Bali and it was fun! There were rows and rows of shops selling all kinds of souvenirs in Seminyak where I stayed and also in Ubud.
The road along Kuta Beach was also a shoppers' paradise and I spent quite some time there. I bought myself some nice T shirts and cushion covers at this tourist spot.

And here are the souvenirs from Bali....
#1
Fridge magnets (choose one). Bought these from a nice souvenir shop along the touristy Kuta Beach road.
#2
Bali soap with oil. (Sorry Lemongrass soap + Jasmin oil taken. Only Sandalwood soap + Frangipani oil or Frangipani soap + Frangipani oil available). Bought these from a shop along Monkey Forest Road in Ubud.
#3
Elephant sandstone card holder. I am showing this in four different angles. Haha! Bought this cute card holder from the same shop I bought the fridge magnets above.
#4
I call this kamasutra statue! LOL! It's about 2 inches long and 4 inches tall. I am showing it from 3 different angles. Only thing is I am not sure if the two lovers here are of the opposite sexes or the same sex. What do you think?
I bought this special statue from a shop along Monkey Forest Road in Ubud. I actually asked the shop owner if these are 2 gay lovers and he said he had no idea! Haha! Oh well, I just thought it looked quite artistic.
#5
Maldives plate hand made from shell. Make nice decoration in your home. It's about 9 inches long and 5.5 inches wide. Bought it at Kumbasari market in Denpasar. I asked the seller to choose 2 good ones from the hundreds that were being sold there!
The photo below shows the bottom part of the plate.
I think my photo did not do this plate justice. It definitely looks more beautiful than what my photo shows!
#6
Also from the Kumbasari market, I found these cute natural jasmine soaps with wooden toy cats. (Choose the red or the yellow cat)
#7
Cinnamon Bali soap with a couple of cute wooden cats. If you fancy cats and the smell of cinnamon, you will like this gift! I bought this at the same shop I bought the Bali soaps above.
#8
Mini bell made from clay. Bought this from the same shop I bought the fridge magnets.
#9
Cute piggy bank from a shop in Seminyak. Showing it from different angles. It is about 8 inches long, 5 inches wide and 6 inches tall. There is a slot at the top for you to put in your coins or money and you can open the mouth/nose to take out your savings! LOL!
I just had to show more photos of this cute little pig! Haha!
#10
More soaps from a shop in Kuta Beach. Choose between Frangipani + Bengkuang flavour and Avocado + Ylang Ylang. The shop owner told me these are high quality soaps but I cannot guarantee that! Haha!
#11
Bali cap from a shop in Seminyak. However, sorry to say someone had taken this cap so it's no longer available!
#12
Bali is full of shops selling arts and sculptures. I saw this nice kamasutra art (love the colour!) that looks like that kamasutra statue above in one of the shops along Kuta Beach. It is a high quality 10 x 12 inches oil painting which you can frame and hang on the wall of your house.
#13
If you prefer a more 'heterosexual' painting with blue background, then choose this one : )
To all the 3 winners, please choose your souvenirs, leave a comment here and email me your address so that I can mail these souvenirs to you!
