🎁 Why You Should Look Beyond Tourist Shops for Souvenirs

The most meaningful and memorable souvenirs often come not from crowded tourist spots, but from small, tucked-away shops in Tbilisi’s older neighborhoods. That’s where artisans work by hand, putting thought and tradition into every piece — without mass production.

Instead of generic magnets or mass-market trinkets, you might find hand-painted ceramics, jewelry with traditional patterns, natural cosmetics, or textiles with Georgian motifs. These aren’t just pretty objects — they carry warmth, sincerity, and creativity.

Choosing a soulful souvenir means taking home a true piece of Georgia and supporting local artists and craftspeople.

🎨 What to Buy — Top Souvenirs Loved by Tourists and Locals

A souvenir isn’t just a thing — it’s a memory. In Tbilisi, favorites include hand-painted ceramics, decorative plates and cups, jewelry with Georgian patterns, churchkhela, spices, handmade soaps, textiles with traditional motifs, and of course, soulful magnets.

Tourists love items with personality: wine horns, wooden crafts, spice sachets, mini paintings, and brooches featuring views of the old city. They’re easy to pack — and hard to forget.

It’s also a great way to connect with the local culture — through color, texture, and form.

🖌️ Handmade & Art Pieces — Where to Find Unique and Unusual Gifts

If you're looking to take home something truly special from Tbilisi, explore local art workshops and small studios. Here, you’ll find original items: hand-painted ceramics, enamel jewelry, wood panels, miniature paintings, fabric brooches, and felt crafts.

Many of these souvenirs are one-of-a-kind or part of a limited series. They’re not just gifts — they’re art pieces with a story, a soul, and a distinct personality.

These hidden gems are often tucked away in quiet alleys of Old Tbilisi. Step inside — and you just might discover a tiny masterpiece that becomes your most cherished travel memory.

Marina Levina, Saint Petersburg:
"I love bringing home something truly special from my travels, and Tbilisi absolutely charmed me. Thanks to your catalog, I found a tiny studio in the old town where I bought a hand-painted plate and a wooden brooch. The shop owner even shared the story behind the artwork! These aren’t just souvenirs — they’re soulful objects that now remind me not only of the trip, but of the warm people who created them."

📍 Where to Buy — Neighborhoods and Spots Worth Exploring for Great Souvenirs

Tbilisi is a city of contrasts, and the best souvenirs often hide in the most unexpected places. In the center, check Rustaveli Avenue, Leselidze (Kote Abkhazi) Street, Freedom Square, and the courtyards of Sololaki — you’ll find cozy shops with real character.

The flea market near Dezertirebi and the Sunday market at Marjanishvili are ideal for those who love hunting for vintage or antique treasures. Art galleries and studios on Tabidze and Betlemi Streets are also worth a visit.

And don’t overlook the quiet alleyways — some of the most unique and soulful finds are tucked away far from the tourist crowds.

🧐 How to Choose a Shop — What to Look For to Avoid Mass-Produced Souvenirs

Not all souvenirs truly reflect the spirit of Georgia. To find a meaningful gift, pay attention to a few things: handmade work, local production, original design, and a welcoming shop atmosphere.

A real Georgian souvenir won’t look like a hundred identical trinkets. It might be slightly imperfect or even a bit quirky — but it will have soul. Trust vendors who can tell you about the materials, the artisans, and the story behind the item.

Don’t just buy something pretty — choose what feels warm and genuine. That’s the kind of souvenir you’ll want to keep forever.

💛 Useful Gifts — Souvenirs You’ll Actually Use

Some souvenirs are pretty, but end up forgotten. Others become part of your daily life: hand-painted mugs, ceramic plates, linen towels with traditional patterns, jars of local spices, and handmade notebooks.

These items bring joy long after the trip — they live with you, spark memories, and add a touch of Georgian warmth to your home.

If you want something beautiful and useful from Tbilisi, look for souvenirs that fit not just your shelf, but your life.

Feedback from a catalog reader

Alexander Ionov, Yekaterinburg:
"I'm not really into collecting trinkets, but Tbilisi changed that. I picked up a ceramic mug, a handmade notebook, and spices in beautiful jars — and now I think of that trip every day. The seller told me his wife paints the ceramics while he makes the packaging — it was such a touching moment. Thanks for the recommendations — I would’ve walked right past otherwise."

🎁 People bring back souvenirs from everywhere, but Georgian ones are different — full of soul, warmth, and a touch of magic ✨

    შესაძლებელია თუ არა მართლა ავთენტური ღვინის ყიდვა ქვევრში საქართველოში, რომ უცხოეთში წაღება შეიძლებოდეს? და თუ კი, მსგავსი ღვინის შეძენა როგორ მაღაზიებშია შესაძლებელი?

    Удивлен тем, сколько уникальных сувениров можно найти в Тбилиси, особенно изделия ручной работы. Теперь знаю, в каких районах лучше всего искать керамику и арт-подарки. Полезно, что есть варианты для любого бюджета. Взял себе на заметку, что стоит проверить ограничения на ввоз алкоголя и антиквариата. Спасибо за детальный гид!

    ლამაზი მასალაა ტბილისის შესახებ. ყოველთვის მომწონს, როგორ შეუძლია ჩვენს ქალაქს სუვენირებით გაგვიკვირვოს. ნამდვილად სასიამოვნო ტერიტორიაა საყიდლებისთვის, განსაკუთრებით სოლოლაკი და ლესელიძის ქუჩა. ჩემთვის პირადად ყველაზე ძვირფასი საჩუქრებია ხელნაკეთი ნივთები, რომლებშიც დანახულია ქართული სული. ასევე, ვურჩევ ყველას შეიძინონ ვაზის ღვინო ან ხელით მოხატული კერამიკა – ეს საუკეთესო გზაა საქართველოს ანმის გასაზიარებლად.

    Как лучше всего упаковать вино из квеври для перевозки в багаже? Слышал, что такие амфоры могут быть хрупкими.

    У меня возник вопрос по поводу упоминания рогов для вина как аутентичного грузинского сувенира. Я слышала, что их нельзя провозить через границу из-за каких-то ограничений. Может, кто-то сталкивался с этим? Хочется избежать неприятных сюрпризов после такой покупки.

    The mention of handcrafted items and artistic gifts is wonderful. Finding unique, authentic souvenirs from the small workshops and flea markets of Tbilisi sounds like a delightful experience. I am particularly intrigued by the idea of bringing back a qvevri wine or a beautifully painted ceramic piece. The suggestion to visit specific neighborhoods like Sololaki and streets such as Leselidze provides great guidance for shopping. But I'd appreciate more details about any customs restrictions on items like spices or wine, as it's always a bit tricky to navigate these regulations.
