What gifts and souvenirs to bring overseas?
 

What gifts, food, things and souvenirs do you usually bring back overseas, like Hong Kong? Particularly things only Canada has and they don't.

So far all we have is some chocolate, ginseng, maple syrup and smoked salmon lol..

Side note: where's the best place to buy packaged smoked salmon?

I guess Costco is possibly the cheapest place to get packaged smoked salmon.

Adding to your pile of junk food, get some unique brands and flavors of chips for your friends/family. I often bring Ketchup flavored chips when I go to Hong Kong. Corn nuts are good too.

I like bringing alcohol. I can't stand the stuff, but my uncles in Asia love Crown Whiskey. They think anything North American is better. Gives us a good excuse to sit around eat hot pot and drink. Good times, even if I have to drink that swill. I like Scotch but they hate that stuff.

Candies are also good for my little cousins. They love the sour stuff like fuzzy peaches. Asians also love vitamins. They go crazy for that stuff.

dildos are quiet popular as well over there the bigger the better!:ilied:

Canadian booze is always popular with the people I take or send stuff too. Crown, some better Rye (Gibson's 18 or 40 creek double barrel), ice wine, all that jazz.

ferrero rocher chocolate things lulzzz mom bought like 30 boxes when she went back to china... and gave each relative a box lulzz

If someone brought me some Crown I'd be like thanks :pokerface:

Gibsons though :notbad:

BTW you can buy Crown and CC at supermarkets here, it's cheap stuff.

maple cookies

We always go Granville Island when bringing smoked salmon back.

Does your mom know they have Ferrero Rocher in China too? Its not like its exclusive to Canada......

Grocery stores here are literally buried in them from xmas through chinese new years, it's crazy! Probably much cheaper in Canada though

My uncle in China used to own a convenient store, he said Ferrero Rocher doesn't sell too quickly. Heck, I ate all his stock the last time I visited (he doesn't stock up much)

Yup it's purely for face-getting gifts during the holidays... I always wonder what happens to the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock left over at all the grocery stores... You go to park n shop and they build towers with them, and they are pretty expensive :fulloffuck:

you can buy a shit-ton of canadian gift shop stuff (maple cookies, boxes of smoked salmon, etc.) in Gastown.

the gift... it doesn't have to be canadian.

it just has to be decent/nice.

anything we get, they can get. almost everything. except super fresh wild salmon lol.

If you want, you can bring fresh (live) dungeness crab to hk from Vancouver, I've done it before. Pack it with dry ice. they don't have the same type of crab there.

^ all of the items mentioned above can be bought in HK, nothing special. I'd like my friends to bring me a bag of weed though

ice wine..one of the best around the world..and last time i went to lulu island winery they told me their ice wine sells like hot cakes in China.

They believe its better quality Lulz.

for the smokers:
belmont/players.

Beaver pelt from the North West Trading Company...
