10 Best Gifts Ideas For Your Indonesian Girlfriend or Wife

If you have a local girlfriend or wife, you certainly know that Indonesian girls absolutely love receiving gifts. In fact, I would say that being generous is one of the surest ways to keep your relationship strong and happy.

The list below will give you 10 ideas of gifts that all Indonesian girls would love to receive. I've included links to trusted websites you can buy them from.

Flowers are the most romantic gift you can make, for any type of girl and for any occasion. Red and white roses are the preferred choice unless your girlfriend is a bit more sophisticated and requires originality. You can buy them at the cheapest price in flower markets (see my review Traditional Markets in Jakarta) or you can buy them online directly. A bouquet costs around 25$ and it will be delivered on the same day with a personalized note. I used it a lot when I had a long-distance relationship and it was very practical.

→ Ideal to show that you care
→ Price range: From 10$ to 100$
→ Delivery in Indonesia: ProBunga

A classic gift if you don't want to take any risks. You are always sure to make your woman happy with beauty products but always choose a famous brand.

If you are a frequent traveler, it is always easy to buy a fragrance bottle at the duty-free shop before arriving in Jakarta. The prices are much cheaper than anywhere else and you get to choose the smell you like the most. In Indonesia, you can buy from Sephora Indonesia or from department stores like Sogo, but expect to pay around 30% more.

→ The perfect gift if you want to be 100% sure she'll like it
→ Price range: From 50$ to 150$
→ Delivery in Indonesia: Not recommended for perfumes to avoid counterfeit products but you can buy safely from Sephora Indonesia for make-up and other beauty products.

This is an inexpensive gift to make, especially if you buy them in your home country. Chocolate in Indonesia is 2 to 3 times more expensive than in Europe so it is considered a bit of a luxury here. I always bring as much as I can from France and then gives them around. It's a very easy way to make people smile!

Since Indonesian love eating sweet food, an alternative is to buy any kind of sweets that come with nice packaging (for instance a heart-shaped box).

→ Ideal for Valentine's day
→ Price range: From 5$ to 20$

The perspective of going on a romantic trip is extremely exciting to most Indonesian girls. Not only because they have few opportunities to go anywhere alone, but more importantly because it will give them plenty of occasions to update their Instagram with new pictures.

Even if you don't have money, you can at least go to Bandung or Bogor. With a bigger budget, Bali, Belitung, the Thousand Islands, and Lombok are great choices. Singapore and KL are also quite cheap and easy to reach from Jakarta.

→ Smart gift if you already have a wife
→ Price range: From 50$ (weekend in Bogor) to 5,000$ (weekend in Velaa Resort in Maldives)

Anything Cute and/or Cheesy
This is a bit vague but you probably understand what I mean. Asian girls love cute accessories or toys, especially if they are somewhat romantic. It can be dolls, teddy bears, cups, pillows, watches, sunglasses, t-shirts, pencils, cards, etc as long as there is a funny face or a romantic sentence on it.

→ Easy gift - Just go to a store like Miniso or Daiso

Guys who buy designer clothes and accessories are either very rich, crazy in love, or dating above their league. Whatever your reason, you can never go wrong as long as you buy genuine stuff either from abroad or from any of the luxury malls in Jakarta.

→ The "dream" gift for most girls

→ Price range: Starting from 200$ up to several thousand dollars

Have you ever met a girl who didn't like going to the spa?

You can either buy a treatment that your wife or girlfriend will do alone or buy a couple's massage. Several venues allow it in Jakarta and I've listed them in my review: Best Luxury Hotel Spas in Jakarta.

→ The perfect gift to change someone's mood
→ Price range: 20$ to 80$

Sexy Stuff
Offering lingerie or sex toys is actually more a gift to yourself and that's why it is such a good idea. Lingerie can easily be found in any mall, for instance in La Senza or Victoria's Secret.

→ The perfect gift to yourself
→ Price range: 30$ to 200$
→ Buying online: Amazon has a list of products that they can ship to Indonesia: Sex toys and Lingerie.
