Wondering what kinds of goods and products are specially produced in Lithuania? Here are a few examples.
Anything linen: Lithuania is known for its linen tablecloths, clothes and other decorative items. I have a drawer full of linen pieces that I have purchased in Lithuania over the years.
Anything honey: Lithuania also produces excellent honey. I like to buy honey from the local farmers’ markets. I also like to buy little samples of flavored honey from some of the ecological shops.
Etno Herbal Teas: Originally founded in 1883, Etno makes delicious herbal teas. My favorites are RelaxHerba and Aksominis Vakaras (Velvety Evening).
Juniper Trivets: A favorite to give as a gift, these trivets are not only beautiful, they smell good when a warm pot is placed on them.
Felted Wool Jewelry: I’ve never seen this style of jewelry in the US, but it is popular here. I bought the handmade necklace below at the Christmas market

Where do you get juniper trivets? Never heard of them.

I’ve bought them at Kazukas Fair and also in souvenir shops. The ecological store in Gedimino 9 has them. I plan to buy some for my brother and his fiancee as a wedding gift — I’ll post a photo when I get them. They are great gifts.
