I will be visiting Shanghai soon and meeting my host family again. They were very kind during my stay and I still regularly chat with my exchange student.
I want to gift them something very nice, but I am unsure of what to buy since they have many import products in Shanghai already. Haribo and milka is everywhere!
I'd like to buy something they would not be able to get so easily themselves/something useful.
I was thinking of buying DM skincare products for my host mom ( I heard German ampoules are quite popular in China ) and/or supplements ( like orthomol ). For my host dad I read that Jägermeister would be fun, but I don't know whether he drinks and I don't know if it is appropriate considering that I am much younger. I also don't know whether he smokes.
For my exchange student I am still thinking of getting something like stroopwaffels or belgian chocolate ( I am moving soon to Belgium/Dutch border ) or/and to buy something peanut themed ( insider ) or/and something anime-themed ( though I am not sure anymore which ones she liked, so that one is tough ).
I read online that german pans are also popular, but I am not really sure 😅😅
As I am on the dutch/belgium border atm I could also get something from there, but again I am unsure of what would be worth it. Really open to some advice and ideas!
