Popular Gifts to Send to Mauritius

No customs, no delays, no stress - just a happy face on the other side.

Sending Gifts to Mauritius from the UAE: Common Questions
Because we're based in Mauritius, there's no international shipping involved. Order before our cut-off - 11:30am Mauritius time, which is 11:30am in the UAE - and many gifts arrive the same day. Otherwise it's usually next-day or your chosen date. You'll see all options at checkout.
No - and that's exactly why this works. A parcel sent from the UAE almost always gets taxed: Mauritius charges import duty on parcels from abroad, and the gift's value plus shipping is almost always enough to trigger it. Because we prepare and deliver everything locally in Mauritius, there's no parcel, no customs and no surprise fees for your recipient - ever.
You order and pay online with your UAE card. Prices are shown in Mauritian rupees (Rs) and your bank handles the conversion - most gift hampers work out at roughly AED 120-250. No account or app needed.
There's no time difference - the UAE and Mauritius are both GMT+4. Our same-day cut-off is 11:30am, the same time for you. For birthdays and festivals, order a day or two ahead.
Yes - we hand-deliver anywhere in Mauritius. Every town and village, from Port Louis and Curepipe to Grand Baie, Flic-en-Flac, Mahébourg and beyond. Just add the recipient's mobile number and our team confirms access if it's ever needed.
Almost always, yes. Postage and courier fees from the UAE to Mauritius are high and slow - and the import duty on top can rival the gift itself. With DodoMarket there's no shipping and no customs, so your full budget goes into the gift and it arrives in a day or two, not weeks.
What UAE Mauritians Send For
Festivals & Holidays
The island celebrates them all - and so does the Mauritian community across the Emirates:
Eid, Diwali, Christmas, Chinese New Year, Holi. Send sweets, hampers and flowers to mark the day, wherever you are.
Family Milestones
Be there for the big moments from afar:
Birthdays, anniversaries, a new baby, exam results, Mother's & Father's Day. A surprise gift says "I'm thinking of you" better than a call.
Just Because
No occasion needed:
Thinking of you, get well, sympathy, or simply missing home. Sometimes the best gifts are the unexpected ones.
