Jalpaiguri, West Bengal

Wooden Handicrafts

Wooden craft items — décor pieces, boxes and small furniture — are another traditionally made souvenir line from Jalpaiguri. Local makers and dealers such as Ace Wood Crafts sell wooden and bamboo handicrafts in the city, and wood-craft manufacturers and suppliers are listed across the district. Wooden pieces pair with the district's cane and bamboo craft trade as home décor buys. A buyer gets sturdy, hand-finished wooden items for the home.

Typical price: ₹200-2000 per piece

Buying tip: Wooden items are heavier than cane or jute, so choose small décor pieces; confirm the piece is fully finished (no varnishing needed) before you travel home.
