Hammocks and cool chairs can be seen everywhere in Maldives. Hammocks and cool chairs are often the same thing, which can be hung on books as hammocks or supported as cool chairs by themselves. In the middle is a chair surface woven with brown rope, which is as comfortable as a sofa, can swing slightly and is comfortable and breathable.

The tall coconut trees in Maldives are not only one of the indispensable roles in seascape, but also the food makers on the table. However, coconut is too heavy to take away as a souvenir, but there is no need to worry about it. There are many souvenirs made of coconut shells on Madai Island, such as fruit wipes, spoons, scabbard and high-quality picture books. These are all good souvenirs.

Seafood:
As an island country in the Indian Ocean, Madai is rich in marine resources, and there are all kinds of seafood, many of which are rare. Naturally, you can eat enough fresh seafood on the island, but wouldn't it be better if you could buy it back for your friends and relatives to taste?

Jewelry pad:
Many people on the island weave mats with natural fibers, but the most famous one is "tundu kunaa" on Gadhu Island in Gaff O 'Halle Atoll. This art form is on the verge of extinction, but because of the development of tourism, people are interested in it, which makes it not disappear. In 1970s, a Danish researcher recorded the weaving process and plants used as fibers and dyes, and pointed out that in the past 20 years, a large number of traditional designs were not woven. It takes several weeks to collect raw materials and weave mats.
Real lacquerware crafts: traditionally, Iaajehun is a container and plate given to Sudan as a gift, and Male National Museum has some exquisite samples. Different kinds of wood are used to make boxes, bowls, vases and other articles processed by lathes. The traditional method is to pull a rope by hand to make the lathe rotate around the shaft. Several layers of real paint show different colors. Then the real paint will harden, and then the design pattern will be carved with sharp tools to reveal the bright color of the bottom layer. Patterns are usually yellow flowers and plants.
