Christmas Shopping in Paramaribo

Website

The holiday season in Paramaribo is the perfect time to consciously choose where we spend our money. Suriname has beautiful, local products that are a real treat to receive.

By shopping locally, you directly stimulate the Surinamese economy. You support small entrepreneurs—from artisans who create jewelry to farmers who grow fresh herbs. Their products are often unique, crafted with care and expertise. No mass production, but true craftsmanship and personal attention.

We’ve listed our favorites for you.

Talking Prints

This brand collaborates with Maroon and Indigenous communities to create handmade, culturally inspired products. A bag or piece of jewelry from Talking Prints is not just a gift, but direct support for sustainable employment in the interior.
