How I prepared to come back to HK (for 2 weeks)

Gifts for my friends and family in HK, organised by recipient

85% of my luggage is gifts. Gifts gifts gifts.
I always find gift shopping the most difficult, and if the response of others is an accurate indication, I do think I'm getting good at it.



Lists.

My suggestions:

Best gifts to return from Asia with:

• Monogrammed jerseys of the local sports team.
• I come back with China jerseys with my friends nicknames and year of their birth on it. Can't tell a better story than that. And their not expensive.
• Chinese signs.
• Maybe it says "Please be quiet" or "Wash your hands". They're helpful. You can point out to people "Yo, did you not read the sign? Damn, what do I have to do?"
• Local magazines
• Local insight into the goings on on the scene.

Best gifts to bring to Asia:

• Try to avoid stuff made in Asia.
• If you're Canadian: Maple Syrup and Maple cookies and local wine.
• Sea Monkeys.
• Die-cast vehicles.

That's all I have for now.
