The souks of Morocco are full of perfect gifts for your guests. Whether you’re looking for something small for Christmas or something a little larger to throw in Santa’s sleigh, you’re sure to have a big celebration with unique, often handmade Moroccan gifts.

THE LIST OF MOROCCAN GIFTS: FOR THE BATH

Black Soap (Savon Beldi) – This natural olive-based soap is an ideal gift for those who love to be pampered. It is the soap most associated with Morocco. It is an all-natural, 100% organic cleansing solution that leaves skin soft and slippery. Easily found for less than 20 MAD. Consider adding essential oils, such as eucalyptus.

Clay (Rhassoul) – The clay used in Moroccan hammams (public baths) really tightens the skin. It is a treatment generally carried out after black soap to really tighten the skin. You can get a good quantity for 10 MAD.

Soap Dish – Moroccan potters do a fantastic job hand painting their work, bringing an artistic touch to any bathroom. Also consider using small bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Around 50 MAD.

Scrubbing Glove (kis) – Easily found in Medinas in most stores that sell spa products. Ideal for deep cleaning. 5 to 10 MAD.

Rose water – Produced in Kalaat M’gouna, near the Dadès valley, Moroccan rose water is renowned throughout the Mediterranean. Tone your skin after a facial, remove makeup or use it to cleanse your face. Rose water is also used in fever compresses. A biologically friendly storage material found for around 15 MAD.

Argan Oil – The non-toasted version of hydrating argan oil originates from Morocco and is a long-kept beauty secret. Use it in your hair for a glossy shine and on your skin to blur imperfections. Small bottles cost around 50 MAD.

THE LIST OF MOROCCAN GIFTS: FOR YOUR HOME

Rugs – It’s hard not to be mesmerized by the handwoven Moroccan rugs. If you really want to get that room-binding rug, be prepared to spend an hour or two, and start at 500 MAD. Most standard Moroccan rugs measure 2m x 3m and will cost you between 800 and 2,500 MAD. Consider shopping at women’s cooperatives or local markets rather than in the medina. For a smaller, more budget-friendly Moroccan touch, consider purchasing pillowcases instead. These are also decorative and generally cost 200 MAD or less.

Painted Furniture – Intricate painted furniture may be the first time you encounter it in a riad or restaurant. They come in geometric patterns and color combinations to suit every taste. You can easily find cabinets, desks, chairs and tables in any medina.

Wicker baskets – Wicker baskets and furniture are making a big splash in Morocco. Small hand-woven baskets can make a great eco-friendly gift package to wrap your other goodies (think Moroccan gifts baskets for your aunts and uncles!), while larger baskets might be considered for a chic laundry basket. 10 MAD for a small basket, while large baskets will probably run you around 100 MAD.

Art – Whether in the artistic excavations of Assilah or in the artisan cooperative in Ouarzazate, you will find paintings and sculptures for all tastes and budgets. You can have small sculptures and paintings for 50 MAD (or sometimes less). Larger pieces could cost a few thousand MAD.

THE LIST OF MOROCCAN GIFTS: FOR THE KITCHEN

Spices – For cooks or chefs, consider packing some of Morocco’s incredible spices. The cost varies depending on the type and quality. Good saffron from Taliouine can be consumed for less than 10 MAD per gram. For almost all spices, it’s best to say how much you want in MAD. Order 5 MAD of one spice or 10 MAD of another. Often you will be surprised by the quantity.

Tagines – Tagines are large conical clay pots. They are identified worldwide with Moroccan cuisine. You should pay around 25 to 40 MAD for a terracotta tagine, depending on the size. Decorated enameled tagines cost more, but are intended for decoration only. Because they may contain lead, they should not be used to prepare or serve food. You can also find sets of tiny two- or three-piece tagines, perfect for serving salt, pepper and cumin (20-30 MAD).

Teapots – Perhaps more famous than the tagine, Moroccan mint tea is also known around the world. Traditional Moroccan teapots are decorative, all-metal pots that can withstand the heat of a direct flame. Teapots range from 100 to 300 MAD, depending on their size. Also consider giving your teapot a packet of freshly picked mint.
