[请求] please recommand some good place for gifts taking back to china

[iceberg]

who knows some good shops for gifts in Ottawa? and what do you guys think are good as gifts? I will go back to China in mid August, what should I bring home is a headache for me. All I know now are maple syrup, ice wine, and garlic oil. Please give me some ideas. Thanks.

DO NOT buy maple syrup, no one likes that. Ice wines are good, but please how many bottles can you carry in that 70lb baggage?

In a nutshell, you should only get things you rather find expensive and nice, and would not otherwise buy for yourself. In other words, the realy good stuff: i.e. digital cam, crystalware, inuit soapstone scuptures, pewter products.

Wisconsin gingsen is always good for elderly people, but wild ones only.
Women are easier to please: perfume, brand-name skincare and makeup products AND I stress the word: BRAND-NAME! If you have no idea, consult窝京丽人版.
Kids, ah, who cares about them! Most kids products are made in China now, so they are better off getting the "real" ones from the country where the products are manufactured.
