I’m going to be visiting Taiwan around New Year’s and was looking for ideas of gifts to bring my extended (lots and lots of extensions) family whom I haven’t seen in 15 years. Since this forum is good about helping people find hard-to-find things, do you have suggestions of relatively inexpensive U.S. items that can be brought over in quantities of 10-20 that will be greeted with respect or at least some pleasure, preferably things that are not so easy to come by in Taiwan? My relatives are mostly in Kaoshiung.

Trojan condoms and cheap butternut white bread. That’s top of my wish list, to be honest.
But for kids, might want to try some sort of sports toys. I’m thinking like baseball toy figures, NASCAR cars, something like that. I live in Changhua, so I don’t know if those are easy to find in Kaohsiung. Maybe someone here might tell you they’re everywhere down there. Just a thought.
