Going back to Taiwan in a couple of months and I need to bring back gifts for gen z and millennial cousins and boomer aunties. What do you guys suggest? Any particular designer or items that are hot in Taiwan right now? This is what I’m thinking:
Trader Joe’s snacks and totes
LeBron jerseys for my bball loving cousins and North Face shirts or jackets for my other gen z male cousins — is there a more well loved brand?
Tory Burch or Coach wallets/bags for my millennial cousins and boomer aunts — are these still loved by them there? My aunts were so excited about these 15 years ago.
Supplements
What about hydroflasks or Stanley cups or tumblers? Are these popular there?
Skincare such as Estée Lauder serums but maybe not since I’m sure the dept stores there carry this
Your relatives must have high standards to expect or need those.
You can throw in bags of coffee (Taiwanese now bigger coffee drinkers than tea drinkers) and maybe something specific from your state, instead of Lebron/NBA stuff, which is everywhere here anyway .
These items are available in Taiwan, but they aren’t particularly popular or sought after. Locals generally don’t prioritize having high-end brands like Stanley cups.
Bringing skincare products like Estée Lauder serums is a great idea . Skincare items at department stores in Taiwan can be quite pricey, so your gift could be appreciated for both its quality and value.
Coach wallets were quite popular in the past, but high-quality leather goods are always a good choice. They make for elegant and appreciated gifts.
Basketball is popular in Taiwan, but NBA jerseys aren’t commonly worn. Consider opting for stylish basketball shirts or other branded products instead. Also, high-quality basketball shoes could be a great gift, though they might be bulky for your luggage.
