Mochila woven bag

Mochila woven bag is worth adding because it feels like something you actually noticed while travelling through Colombia, rather than a generic souvenir. I would avoid the obvious tourist print and look for something with a local pattern, fabric or cut that still works with normal clothes back in the UK. The ideal version is modestly priced, not too bulky, and good enough that you would buy it again even without the holiday memory.

Arequipe caramel spread

This is exactly the sort of thing I like bringing back from Colombia: small enough to fit in a bag, but specific enough to remind you where you bought it. Look for a boxed version with a decent date on it, especially if you are buying it near the start of the trip rather than at the airport. It is also the kind of thing you can talk about when someone asks what you brought back, because there is usually a little story attached to where you found it.

Ajiaco spice mix

When I think of an easy, crowd-pleasing thing to bring back from Colombia, ajiaco spice mix is a good pick because it does not need much explanation when you hand it over. The best version is usually the sealed jar, tin or packet from a normal supermarket, spice stall or food hall, not the most expensive tourist version. I would rate it higher when it is locally made, clearly labelled and easy to use at home, and lower when it is just tourist packaging.
