A lot of leather products, though not all of high quality, but cheap. Lots of coinage. Olive oil and leather-covered wooden camel figurines, souvenir plates. Most importantly, do not buy gold items, they are just gold plated!

Camels, plates ... are decorative dust collectors, and not every interior is suitable. I'll tell you what friends usually order for me, inexpensive and useful. Olive oil in tin, 7-10 dinars per liter. Excellent mittens for peeling in the sauna, 1-2 dinars in any market. For ladies, argan oil, from 3 dinars per vial. Dry clay for cosmetic masks for skin and hair, sold in the markets or in special shops - from 3 dinars per kilo, for all skin types.
Ground coffee, 1-2 dinars per pack. Halva. Wine is very tasty and inexpensive.
Shawls, pashminas and "arafats" of different colors and sizes. Beautiful scarves are quite high-quality replicas of Chanel, Versace, Prada, etc...
More expensive - cutting boards, bowls, mortars with pestles - all made of olive wood. Folding tables - wooden base, tabletop - metal tray, come in different sizes. Metal teapots for tea, there are sets with glasses made of metal or glass. Excellent ceramics, traditional and in a modern style, especially a huge selection in Nabeul. Leather slippers. Shampoos, masks, soaps, creams, etc. based on algae, clay, olive and argan oils. Massage oils. Essential oils for aromatherapy. And, of course, "rose desert" - just very beautiful and very Tunisian

Very beautiful ceramics, especially those that are both carved and glazed. I agree with tigana about olive oil in tin - cheap and high quality.
The leather is cheap and of poor quality - looks exactly at its cost.

The most superb souvenir (depending on who you bring) local wine, it’s better to take it on departure in duty (cheaper). Ceramics. Olive oil - for cooking and as a massage tool is just super. . If you are a Muslim by religion, there are very beautiful suras on a tree and on plastic in every shop. As for oils, do not flatter yourself (we have better in pharmacies)

especially for tigana: well, I gave out trump souvenirs... You can buy half without leaving our city, in my case, Kyiv, especially roses... Of the variety listed, I just haven’t brought clay yet, but no one has indicated a tile .. oh how! and I drove ... meters. As for all kinds of products - a big question ... what you like will not always please friends, colleagues and relatives. Well, where should I put my souvenirs?... for me, these are no longer souvenirs, but ordinary everyday things. I'm running a sale right now. So what to bring next time?

to safsaf
weighted gassul for 75 rubles per kilo? Oh, I want to live in Kyiv!)))
Of course, you are absolutely right that in our time any souvenir from any country can be bought without leaving your country - after all, most of them are made in China. I tore off Made in China labels from souvenirs from Japan, Australia, Maldives...
Therefore, I wrote about original Tunisian goods and products, about what I and my Russian friends like.
I didn’t mention harissa - well, this is for a spicy lover.
By the way, you can also bring small woolen rugs, depending on the size and decor, they are used as a bedding on a stool, as a bedside rug or as a panel on the wall - if the interior of the apartment allows (of course, their largest selection is in Kairouan). I brought two large woolen lint-free carpets to my Moscow apartment.
I also bring leather puffs for friends - from small rounded "patchwork" ones to huge rectangular ones, made of large pieces of dense soft leather. Naturally, only a "case" is transported, at home they are stuffed with crumpled paper.
There are many gift options for every taste and budget.
But usually tourists only have time to visit ordinary souvenir shops.

I already answered, but about Chinese souvenirs - it's true. Even in Tunisia there is competition with the Chinese. REGULAR TOURISTS GO TO REGULAR SOUVENIR STORE. And I already passed this level a long time ago. Therefore, on this forum I give hints where and why to go ...
