Shop for Souvenirs for Kids

Tired of giving your nieces sweatshirts from the airport? You can find fun and unusual souvenirs for kids nearly anyplace you go. Here are some ideas on shopping for great gifts that any kids will appreciate.

Instructions

    • 1

      Go to the grocery store. I know, it's strange; but if you are in an exotic locale you can usually find great treats here. Interesting hard candies and bubble baths from lands far away will be an instant hit with any kid.

      Marketplaces will have lots of stationary and paper options. Look for pretty handmade papers and notebooks for the budding artist on your list.

    • 3

      Have something made! Bring along the children's names, sizes and physical statistics for reference. Many Chinese shops can carve stamps with the child's name in traditional characters, and tailors can whip up pajamas in no time without much fuss for fitting.

      Think about the child's interests. Potential chefs will love beginner chopsticks or French cooking gadgets; musicians might like packable flutes or cymbals. Be creative!

Tips & Warnings

  • Watch for safety concerns when bringing anything home for a child. Foreign toys and products are not subject to U.S. quality standards.

  • Be wary of small parts and coating on toys---especially for younger children.
