Thai gifts and souvenirs- advice and/or recommendations?

[Samui Bodoh]

Hi All

 

I will be visiting friends and family in my native country soon, and would like to bring a series of Thai gifts and/or souvenirs. I have been doing this for years and have run out of ideas; help!

 

Over the years, I have brought back DVDs (from back in the day), natural soaps (these were very well received; I'd recommend them), T-shirts galore, 'elephant' pants (the thin cotton trousers that look like pajama bottoms), various teas and an occasional tea set, key chains, carved soaps (never again), etc, etc, etc.

 

I am out of ideas.

 

I am looking for two types of gifts; the first are little 'doo-dahs' or 'knick-knacks' that I can hand out to many people, perhaps with a maximum cost of 100-150 Baht. The second are a wee bit nicer things with a cost of perhaps 500-1,000 Baht; the numbers mentioned are just guidelines. 

 

Any and all thoughts or ideas are extremely welcome!

 

What do you take home for friends and family?

 

Cheers

My sister in law hates fridge magnets. Wherever I go I buy her one.
