Finding gift shops in Riyadh feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces.
Yeah, I have been there.
Gift shopping can go two ways.
Exciting and fun or stressful and “why did I wait until the last minute?”. I don’t want it to be the second situation for you.
Gift shops in Riyadh have everything.
Yes, even for that impossible-to-shop-for friend who claims they “don’t need anything.”
After spending years in the Saudi capital I have found five spots that have everything like flowers, traditional Saudi gifts, oud and perfumes, and even stunning handcrafted souvenirs.
These places are:
- Gallery Blu
- Straw Flowers
- Hadaya Meraki
- Gift Mart
- Kingdom Heritage
So? Should we keep talking or see what they have to offer?
Let me tell you everything you need to know.
1. Gallery Blu – The Coolest Artsy Gift Shop in Riyadh
If you are looking for an artsy, unique, and fun gift shop in Riyadh this is the place to visit.
This gift shop is way cooler than your ordinary flower or candle shop and includes things like paintings, quirky collectibles, and artsy decor that’ll make you want to buy something for yourself too.
The walls are all covered with creative and eye-catching paintings that will make you think if you are really in a painting shop or a museum.
What You Will Find?
I never expected that I will be this confused especially inside a gift shop. Some of the things that I loved in this shop are:
- Mugs with Attitude: If you want to gift someone a mug that will impress them then you will have plenty of options here. Their mugs are artistic, stylish, and sometimes a little sassy.
- Car Collectibles: Hot wheels are expensive but these mini cars are no less than those. If you have a friend who loves cars this is the perfect gift you can give them.
- Skateboards: YUP! Skateboards. This is not something you find at every gift shop but these skateboards can be used as a décor too.
- Stuffed Toys & Fun Décor: Well, even adults love toys and these small stuffed toys will grab all the attention at the party.
Location
This gift shop is quite accessible and is located at Al Mohammadiyyah.
2. Straw Flowers – More Than Just a Bouquet!
Flower shops are all over Riyadh and they should be because flowers are classic gifts for almost every occasion.
BUT
This flower shop takes things to the next level.
This isn’t the place where you pick a bouquet and go. The flowers here come in all sizes, shapes, and designs which makes a simple floral gift feel extra special.
Gifts Inside
This place has flowers for every occasion and every level of effort so you don’t need to be looking around Riyadh to find the perfect match.
- Bouquets, but Make Them Fancy: You will get flowers for occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or just making someone’s day.
- Pocket-Sized Flowers: If you are going to a romantic restaurant for dinner then these Tiny, adorable, and easy to carry flowers will be the perfect gift.
- Flowers in a Bag: This is something I loved and found truly unique. You get an actual bag to put your flowers in which makes it look even more special and put together.
Apart from this, you get options like:
- Flowers + Chocolate
- Custom Design Flowers
Where Is It Located?
This flower shop can be found easily in Al Rawabi, Riyadh.
3. Hadaya Meraki – Personalized Gifts
Some gifts say, “Hey, I thought of you.” And then there are gifts from Hadaya Meraki that say, “I thought of you, spent time choosing something meaningful, and I totally win at gifting.”
Their gift collections are designed to make the other person feel special and make the whole experience unforgettable.
What’s Inside?
They did impress me and confuse me too because the options are all unique. I don’t think I have seen gifts like these before so I had to scratch my head for a while.
Dowry Boxes:
This is their main gift product and it comes with different combinations to allow you to tailor your gift to your loved ones.
These boxes come with many different options.
You get a dowry box with crystal oud, custom perfume engravings, or cash/check holders elegantly arranged with roses, trays, and side items. That’s too much variety.
Location For The Shop
You can find this shop located at Al-Muhandis Musaed Al-Angari, Al Olaya.
4. Gift Mart – The One-Stop Shop for Every Occasion
Sometimes you need to get your gift ASAP but you don’t know what and where to get it. This is the moment I recommend going to Gift Mart.
If you are buying a gift for a birthday, an anniversary, or just a “Hey, I saw this and thought of you” moment, this place has everything.
I MEAN EVERYTHING!
No need to use your brain cells just visit and explore.
My Favorite Items
Think of this place as an all-in-one gift shop in Riyadh. You will get to see things like:
Birthday & Celebration Gifts: I love their stuffed toys and personalized keepsakes. You get to see gifts for all ages.
Luxury Gift Sets: These can be used as corporate gifts or special gifts to your buddy. You will see things like a perfume box, an elegant tea set, and a fancy candle collection.
Corporate & Business Gifts: You can buy B2B gifts in this place like souvenirs and corporate boxes to gift your boss or employees.
Art: You can get art design in form of wall design or even small mugs with custom designs.
Gift Mart Location

5. Kingdom Heritage – Gifts with a Saudi Touch
Not all gifts need to be cute sometimes you need a cultural gift to impress others. Forget generic presents because this place specializes in gifts that celebrate tradition, history, and craftsmanship.
If you are having visitors from some other place this can be a great opportunity to give them something cultural.
You will find things that you can’t find anywhere else in the whole kingdom.
My Favorite Items:
This place will confuse you if you have never bought cultural gifts
AND
Guess what?
I had no idea what most of these things here were. I did like these though:
- Luxury Oud & Perfumes: You can never go wrong with Oud and they have plenty of options like oud oils, incense, and perfumes in beautiful packaging.
- Handmade Art & Décor: I love how they have a variety of gift options like exquisite calligraphy pieces, Najdi-style artwork, and Saudi-inspired home accessories.
- Traditional Clothing & Accessories: They have some truly unique fashion pieces that honor Saudi culture and tradition.
