Ideas for small presents to bring from Ireland to Japan?

fullerand

Hi folks,

Will be heading over to Japan for a few weeks holidays in April.

I'd like to bring a bunch of small cheap presents from Ireland with me, to give to some old Japanese friends I'll be meeting, owners of the places we'll be staying in, etc.

Was thinking about stuff like some tiny bottles of Jamesons, or maybe small boxes of Baileys chocolates. Any other ideas?

Thanks a mill

Keep in mind that Jameson and the like are readily available in Japan, so if I was going to bring alcohol over as a gift, I'd go for something that you wouldn't get over there so easily.

Never loose an opportunity in getting and keeping connections in Japan. Japanese love cute trinkets and will always find a wearable place to clip them on and show them off. Makes a great conversation piece amongst their friends.

Acrylic Keyrings - a great way to get your Picture & Contact information onto one of the most popular items in the world. Let it act as your Meishi when meeting people .

Shamrock badges and fridge magents!

The mistake I made when first visiting was to bring a small selection of Jamesons - needless to say, I hadn't realised that the Japanese love their whiskey and such a brand is commonplace. Of late, we bring Irish biscuits and the mother in law seems to like baked beans!

Bring your shilleagh ! - Really useful on night out in Rappongi ! .;)

I advise bringing a load of sweets and snacks. Japanese people love trying different foods.

Aside from that small trinkets like keyrings and magnets are always welcome.
