There are a lot of souvenirs you can buy just beside the highway or you can see them anywhere in the city. Modern bags with "Bohol" logo, printed t-shirts, pouches with a picture of Tarsier or Chocolate Hills. But what I want to feature in this blog are the products which are handicrafts and really made effort by the native Boholanos.
Products are made by using indigenous materials just found in Bohol. We can really see that these products are of high quality and with almost perfection. They showcase from bags, slippers/sandals and rounded brim hats made from different parts of the coconut tree, necklaces and earrings made from pearls and shells found in the nearby shores of the province, to different furniture and house decorations made from high quality type of wood.
Bags, Pouches and Hats.
Necklaces and Earrings.
Mats, Furniture and House Decorations.
You rarely can find products made of plastic, metal and cloth here and the process involved in the production is mostly by hands only which means there are no machines, etc.
Making these handicrafts supports a lot of Boholanos financially. This has been a great help as to them making a living and for paying their children's tuition. These people are really appreciated a lot since they are very creative, resourceful and hardworking. Using only their bare hands in crafting these things the whole day are really inspiring and that is just one of the reasons why a lot of people purchase their products.
Have time to visit a number of souvenir stores. You will find out more beautiful and pretty things which you might like that will make you remember how gifted the place Bohol is.
