For Staying Friends, Despite Cultural Differences, These Are Great American Gifts for Korean Friends

Let me share something extraordinary about Korea, at birth a child is automatically a year old, there are different explanations for this, but what I’m used to is that they claim the child has spent nine months in their mother’s stomach, almost a year, so on child’s birth they are a year old. Considering that, I hope you’ll agree with your Korean friend’s age mate when they say they are your senior. 

Just like you, I have friends of different nationalities, and it’s so awesome; maybe you are like me who deliberately did this; the problem most people like us often encounter is deciding on what to get for our friends from different nationalities and cultures in your case, don’t worry, your dear Korean friend whether they are close to you or not would be getting something from you on that particular day, these are some awesome American gifts for Korean friends that they should love. 

Awesome American Gifts for Korean Friends

1. American Scented Candles

What I like about scented candles is the relaxing feel they dish out, especially aromatherapy candles. I feel everyone dear to us should enjoy the fabulous scent these candles dish out.

For your Korean friend, some lovely scented candles would be perfect; they’ll fit the bill of an “American Gift” if they are USA-themed, say the flag on its body.

3. American Wine or Beer

 

Nothing would be more American than a bottle of The State’s Beer or Wine, a bottle or two would do for the wine, while a crate of beer is ideal. You folks can sit and discuss over some, or if you ship it to them in Korea, they’ll love it too. 

 

4. American-made Beauty Products

Some excellent made American beauty product often causes it to my list when picking gifts to send to my friends overseas, but I usually have a half-mind when making this suggestion;. At the same time, they may come to enjoy this, it may leave their skin looking fabulous, and that would demand that they keep using it since they are overseas and probably have no access to it; it could have a side effect if you decide to get them to be ready to ship extras if need be.

5. Dried Fruits and Nuts
