The TOP souvenirs to take home from Dominican Republic...


Recommended Posts

Reed & I tasted the Mamajuana at a local shop and it was STRONG. It felt like I was gonna grow hairs on my chest.

 

I bought a Larimar earring & bracelet for my Goddaughter, some Santa Domingo coffee, a coral earring & necklace for me and some Brugal rum. My MIL bought us a faceless Taino wood doll.

 

The shopping and bargaining was good in Higuey. I actually paid $40 for all my items.

The mamajuana IS strong - that's why they call t "Dominican Viagra" ~ but we drank it every day and brought plenty home. Now we and my brother make our own from the herbs we brought home and it's always a hit when we have people over! When you make it on your own, you can add more honey and red wine to sweeten it up a bit and the more you make it and let it sit, the better it will taste.

I collect dolls and now fascinated with the faceless doll.

 

So since we are sharing thought I'd share pics.

I would love to add these to the OTT. What about Dominican instruments? Maraca's are easier to find but I understand they use the guira, can't find those to use as favors and 'couple salutes'. ummmmm

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
