Gift ideas for balikbayans

[badkuk]

Need some suggestions...a few of my relatives will be visiting from the US, and all the gifts i can think about come from good ol' America.
Sadly they're not into art, so native handicrafts are not an option...preferrably not food din, because they are currently "training" for their food trip ^_^

It depends on their age--

What I usually do-- I bring them to Kultura. If they spot something really nice and would love to buy, I insist to pay.

Dalhin mo sa enchanted river sa hinatuan surigao del sur.

If I visit the PH, the last thing I want is material stuff. I want this.

Kahit ako gusto ko rin yan.

Aside from Collezione, maybe Muji or Uniqlo? Don't think they have those brands there.

Normally balikbayans do like to go to dampa style restaurants. Most of them just want to catch up with relatives

when my teenage nieces came for a visit, pinagka-guluhan nila yung mga wooden carved bakyas.
yung mga matanda, they were just happy to see us. couldn't offer them much in food, as their tablets were more plentiful and more colorful than mine.

i have same the problem with visitors from the visayas and mindanao... mas masarap pagkain nila sa ibaba.

subukan nyo na lang siguro kung may programa sa CCP.

When our balikbayan relatives came here last Christmas, all they wanted to do was to travel like tourists... Vigan, Batanes, etc. and concluded their stay at a Palawan beach resort.

Give them the infamous barrell man of baguio. Tuwang tuwa mga dayuhan jan 😂

to be or not to be, that always confuses me!

Sa iyo siguro pero pwedeng pwede ipagmalaki yan. Meron naman mga klasik designs. Kung di nila type pwede nila ipantulog, what is important is binigyan ko sila[emoji12]

+1 dito. Enchanted was beautiful. Also was the fish pen and Hagonoy island. And the seafood galore in bislig :D

Kultura in MOA or SM Makati has wide selection of PH-branded, PH Flag-stitched clothes.
