Visiting Riga and looking for an unusual and nature-friendly gift or hand made souvenir? Need eco-certified cosmetics or perfumery? Prefer to have a healthy snack? Keen to explore the ecological alternative for some daily habit? If your answer was yes for at least one of those – Lavandas is the right place to go for nature friendly and eco shopping! There is a very wide assortment available in the shop in many categories – from herbal tea to pasta, from face cream to vegan cosmetics, from house cleaning products to reusable water bottles, from baby soaps to readymade sets of gifts.

Also, there are various products and hand-made sweets produced in Latvia available. Many eco-certified brands are represented here and the assistant will tell about every item you might be interested in. So it’s a great chance not only to do your shopping but also get educated and informed about the ingredients of a particular product or even get some real user experience and feedback.

I came here recently looking for a gift for our colleague who was taking maternity leave. I was so nicely surprised that I could mix and match various cosmetic products to end up with a set of gifts to satisfy even such a picky audience as mums can be. That’s why I recommend this small shop, Lavandas –  the quality and price here come in a very reasonable proportion but you can also find some unique and non-casual products here.
