I am *moving* to Europe, Holland/Netherlands for 5 or so months to do some schooling their. I will be staying with relatives, my fill in mum being about 37 (female) or so and the child being 7 (a boy). I am looking for gift idea's that i can take on the plane through melbourne, sydney, perth, singapore, london and paris. I want gifts that show Australia, and not really a coaster with a koala on it, i mean something a little more.. useful and Australian. I have thought of bringing them some Vegemite since i dont know if they have any there, any suggestions? Thanks heaps in advance :)
Answer
We do not have Vegemite, so you will need to bring any you will want to eat. But Dutch people do not like it. So unless your host has lived in Australia or New Zealand, do not bother to bring it for them.
In Australia you have lovely wooden things that make great gifts. Think about something to use rather than something to put on show.
Kangaroo leather is great too, but it is difficult to guess what your host will want to have.
For the child, you might go for a plastic boomerang, not a nice painted wooden one. The plastic one will likely get used, the nice one put on the wall.
Other nice gifts can be T-shirts with print, buy it a size or two big, Dutch boys are commonly tall.
A bag, again with nice decoration.
For more ideas, just walk into a souvenir shop and look, if you like the idea but not the actual item, shop around in normal shops or in craft shops, as there is a lot of quality being sold at normal prices.
