Shop ByA Florist's 5 Best Gifts for Canggu (And Why My #1 Pick Isn't Flowers)
08/11/2025
I deliver flowers to Canggu almost daily now, been doing it since 2013 when the area was way quieter. I'm Ayu, I own Sunny Florist Bali, and after twelve years making flower arrangements and coordinating gifts, I've learned what actually works for Canggu versus what people think will work. The demographic there is specific - expats working remotely, digital nomads, couples on extended stays, wellness people. They don't want the same gifts tourists in Kuta want. Here are my five recommendations based on hundreds of Canggu deliveries.
1. Bali Massage Package - My Top Recommendation
Our 1 Hour Bali Massage with 12 Mixed Roses & Free Chocolates for $60 is hands down the best gift for Canggu. Everyone there is stressed. They're working remotely across time zones, answering emails at midnight, juggling laptop work with trying to enjoy Bali. They need actual relaxation, not just symbolic gestures.
I recommended this to an American woman calling from California last month. Her boyfriend was in Canggu working on some startup thing, stressed beyond belief, his birthday was coming up. She wanted something thoughtful that he'd actually use. The massage voucher plus flowers plus chocolates combination worked perfectly. He used the massage voucher within two days apparently, sent her photos of the flowers, ate the chocolates while on a Zoom call. She emailed saying it was exactly right.
The thing about this package is it's practical romance. The flowers show you care, the massage addresses actual need, the chocolates are just nice. Canggu residents appreciate practical, I've learned that over years of deliveries there. Also at $60 it's substantial without being excessive, which suits the Canggu vibe.
2. Organic Soy Coconut Candle With Message
Our Organic Soy Coconut Candle for $15 is perfect as an add-on or standalone gift. Canggu villas need atmosphere, everyone's trying to make temporary housing feel like home. These candles smell incredible, coconut scent works beautifully in Bali heat, and the custom message makes it personal.
A British woman ordered three of these last week to send to her three friends who'd all moved to Canggu around the same time. Different villas, same friend group. She wanted each candle message to be an inside joke specific to each friend. I wrote all three messages carefully, Kadek delivered them in one run. All three women posted about it on Instagram apparently, very emotional about friendship and distance and thoughtfulness.
What I love about recommending candles for Canggu is they're small but meaningful. Not every gift needs to be enormous. A $15 candle with the right message often matters more than expensive flowers. Also they're lightweight so easy for us to deliver on the scooter, which sounds silly but logistics matter when you're running a small business.
3. Love Package 12
Our Love Package 12 for $75 works brilliantly for Canggu couples. It's substantial, looks impressive, photographs well for Instagram which matters there. I made maybe fifteen of these last month just for Canggu deliveries.
An Australian guy ordered this for his girlfriend at their villa in Batu Bolong, no special occasion, just wanted to surprise her. I added extra care to the arrangement because I could tell from his message it mattered. Kadek delivered it mid-morning while she was at yoga. She came back, found it, apparently lost it completely with happy tears. Posted about it everywhere, wrote something about random gestures of love being the most meaningful. The guy ordered from us again two weeks later for her actual birthday.
The $75 price point works for Canggu because people there can usually afford it but it's not so expensive it feels uncomfortable. I've learned that Canggu customers want generous without being show-offy. This package hits that balance perfectly.
4. Sparkling Wine Bottle
Our Sparkling Wine for $34.95 pairs beautifully with flowers for celebrations. Canggu has constant celebrations - someone's birthday, someone's visa got approved, someone's startup got funding, someone just moved there and survived their first month. Sparkling wine says celebration in universal language.
I always suggest adding this to flower orders for birthdays or welcomes to Bali. Did exactly that last week for a Canadian woman sending flowers to her sister who'd just arrived in Canggu for a year-long stay. The flowers welcomed her, the champagne made it celebratory. Her sister called us directly later to say thank you, that small gesture made a huge life transition feel special. Those calls always get me emotional, which Kadek teases me about constantly.
5. Relaxation Hamper
Our Relaxation Hamper for $60 is ideal for Canggu's wellness crowd. Contains everything for a proper self-care evening - candles, bath products, the whole thing. Canggu people are into wellness, yoga, meditation, taking care of themselves. This hamper fits that mindset perfectly.
A woman from London ordered this for her best friend having a rough time in Canggu last month. The friend had moved there for a fresh start after a divorce, was struggling with loneliness despite the beautiful location. The relaxation hamper with a heartfelt card message helped enormously apparently. Sometimes gifts acknowledge struggle, not just celebrate success. That matters more than people realize.
Why These Five Specifically
After twelve years doing this, delivering to Canggu hundreds of times, I understand what works there. The community values wellness, authenticity, thoughtfulness over extravagance. They want gifts that show you understand their lifestyle - the remote work stress, the villa living, the wellness focus, the Instagram aesthetic.
These five gifts work because they're practical, beautiful, and meaningful. You can order any of them online or WhatsApp me on 62 813-3862-5637. I'll make sure whoever receives them in Canggu feels genuinely cared for, not just gifted at. That's the difference really.
