What to Bring Back???

I'm going to Puerto Plata (staying at RIU) next week with a friend of mine and I want to bring my husband back something, but I'm not sure what. what sort of things might he like that I could get there? how does it work leaving the dominican if you bought something?

Cigars are good value here but not appropriate if he doesn't smoke ! A bottle of Dominican Rum is inexpensive. The coffee here is generally good quality and cheap, I always take a few bags back to Europe when I go on vacation.

Avoid art work as a lot of it is just mass produced crap that you could buy anywhere else on the planet. Be wary of buying souvenirs from beach vendors as again a lot of it is just random stuff left over from somewhere else eg. would you really want to buy a carved 'mahogany' elephant, with missing tusk, when you are visiting the Dom Rep ?

Enjoy your trip, the RIU is a great complex.

Bring him a Dominican Mamajuana, and fill it with Brugal rum. He'll love it.

Hi Angeldust..,
Here i'm again to help you. Well you can buy a lot of things, but first thing first ; Don't buy the "souvenirs" in tourist areas you gonna pay the double or even more... Every friday there is a trip to Santiago a VIP shopping day, take contact if you like to do this. Other nice things to do are " Waterfall Discovery" - "Isabella Historica" ( these excursions are not available in the hotels) hoop you will enjoy it! Bye Bye

Besides all other suggestions I would recommend something that is VERY particular and part of only our culture…is called “Mamajuana”. This is a bottle filled with special roots and special woods that get filled with Dominican Rum for some time until it gets a special taste. You can get this at most supermarkets or “Mercados”(Market) but like the other I would suggest not to get at tourist places cause they will charge you 3 times its price.


^^Smile^^
An Amber tie pendant or Amber bracelet for both. and of course cigar. an island shirt with something funny on it.. :-)

Enjoy your stay !!
Hope that you have a wonderful trip!!

Bring back Dominican Republic cigars of course. The best.

Be careful of counterfeit cigars.

Even if he doesn't smoke, makes a nice gift to give out to his friends.

enjoy shopping)

Bring him whatever you want. You know him and you should know what he likes. It doesn't have to be big and expensive, just show him you were thinking of him during your vacation! You will know it when you find it. Souvernirs are not to be planned in advance.
