The sweets of the Saransk “Lamzur” confectionery factory are not sold virtually anywhere outside the republic, which does not mean that their quality is low, but makes such a gift an original one. They produce analogues of “Pigeon’s milk” and “Agrege” candied roasted nuts, an analogue of “Assorti” sweets - with chocolate and fondant fillings, and others. Sweets in paper boxes are decorated with sculptures by Erzya and paintings by Mordovian artists.
The Saransk canning factory produces condensed milk in “space tubes”, “Mordovspirt” produces high-quality vodka and herbal liquors.
What about non-food products, we can recommend national embroidery and the products of the “Mordovian patterns” factory. All kinds of souvenirs with inscriptions in Russian and Mordovian are popular, because both languages use Cyrillic letters, sometimes the combinations look funny.
Finally, if you’re lucky, you can find smaller copies of Erzya’s sculptures in the city: Mordovian woodworking companies started producing them.
