We all want to bring back the perfect gift for friends or family. There are few classic Tahitian products that you’ll want to find while crisscrossing the islands.
1. Vanilla: Tahitian vanilla, either as a whole bean or in extract form, is a staple of French Polynesia and brings the flavors of the islands home with you. 2. Monoï Oil: A light coconut oil perfumed with the tiare flower may solidify in colder climates but returns to a smooth liquid with a bit of warmth. 3. Black Pearls: A wide range of prices and options make these locally produced ornaments must-haves for any budgets. 4. Scented Soaps: It may seem generic, but artisan soaps with hints of grapefruit, coconut or tiare make unique gifts that you won’t find outside of the islands. 5. Hinano Merchandise: This local beer label adorns shirts, tank tops, and all sorts of products that you won’t find beyond The Islands of Tahiti.
