The portrait of Mozart on the wrapper and the stern gaze of the genius will help you remember the taste for a long time!

If you prefer to vacation abroad, or even celebrate all the holidays there, then the problem of choosing a gift disappears by itself. In any country you can buy interesting souvenirs as a gift.

Egypt

From the “land of pyramids” you definitely need to bring a small pyramid. They are sold there in large quantities, of all sizes and from various materials: from plastic to alabaster. This gift will appeal to everyone, but especially to people who are interested in esotericism: according to modern experts in bioenergy, the pyramidal shape emits positive energy.

Hibiscus tea - tea made from hibiscus or Sudanese rose flowers - will be a very useful and pleasant souvenir for housewives. It is commonly called "Tea of the Pharaohs". Hibiscus tea is not only exotic, but also very useful: in addition to its tonic properties, it also has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antibacterial, and choleretic effects. In addition - a very valuable quality - it reduces the effects of hangover syndrome and reduces the degree of absorption of alcohol into the blood!

For men, a hookah can be an interesting gift. In Turkey, there are also quite a lot of hookahs sold, the so-called “nargile”, but it is the “shisha” - the one sold in Egypt - that is considered classic. Hookah is much safer for smoking than cigarettes, since its smoke is cooled when passing through water, and the cooling is accompanied by filtration. In the capital's restaurants you will have to pay more for the pleasure of smoking than for all the hookah in Egypt. Coal and special tobacco with various additives can be quite easily bought at home in tobacco shops.

The famous graphics and writing of Ancient Egypt were done on papyrus - special paper made from papyrus stems. However, today's souvenirs are actually made not from papyrus, but from rice paper, and they are made mostly in China. Real papyrus can probably only be purchased at the Papyrus Factory. In Egypt, many souvenirs are made from “papyrus”: bookmarks with the hieroglyphic alphabet are perhaps the most universal - you can buy a lot of them and give them to everyone who loves to read.

They also sell a lot of talismans that are quite similar to their ancient prototypes: crosses of life "ankh" (which are so popular among fans of gothic music), scarab beetles, symbolizing rising Sun, "udjat" or "eye of Horus", etc. Talismans were very popular in Ancient Egypt.

Türkiye

Coffee lovers from Turkey can bring real Turkish “kahve”. A Turk and small coffee cups can serve as a good addition to such a gift. As for tea fans, in Turkey they have the so-called “Apple Tea”, which they drink both hot and cold. The Turks willingly offer this tea to all clients when selling, for example, leather goods in stores, or excursions in local travel agencies, in Internet cafes and even in banks when exchanging currency. Cute little glass cups ("mess" in Turkish) from which the Turks drink their tea can also be a good gift.

Men will be more pleased with the 45-proof Turkish vodka "Rakia", which is made from anise and is very well purified. The Turks use it diluted by half - in this state it becomes whitish and a little cloudy. "Rakia" is also produced in Bulgaria and Greece, where it is called "Ouzo".

The Turks, like many eastern peoples, are very superstitious, so in this country you can see blue flat eyes made of glass everywhere - “nazar” - a Turkish talisman “from the evil eye”. There are no fewer of these eyes in Turkey than images of their famous reformer ruler Mustafa Ataturk. The eyes are hung around the neck as a pendant, decorated with beads and bracelets, and large discs are even hung on the walls of houses above the entrance, and of course, sold. By the way, they are also found in Greece, but still, “eyes from the evil eye” are a Turkish talisman.

One of the fundamental concepts Turkish service In Turkey there are hammam baths. Therefore, a Turkish souvenir is also washing supplies: sponges (natural, that is, dried sea plants), which are very good for making peeling and olive soap. Souvenir shops sell special bath sets, which, in addition to these items, also include a small basin and aromatic herbs. As a gift, you can also add aromatic oils for massage.

Czech

The Czech Republic is famous for its delicious alcoholic drinks. First of all, of course, excellent Czech beer. The famous varieties Staropramen, Budwiser, Krusovise, Plzner Urquel, Velkopopovichny Kozel, Kelt and others are exported, and you can buy them at home. But fans will have to bring wonderful beer Gambrinus or, for example, dark Velvet directly from the Czech Republic.

A good addition to such a gift would be a beer mug. They are sold in large quantities: There are both very simple ceramic and beautiful tall wooden or metal mugs with lids - they drank beer from these back in the Middle Ages. Mugs in the Czech Republic are decorated with coats of arms, images of various landmarks, such as Charles Bridge, St. Vitus Cathedral, Church of St. Mary in Tyn, and simply inscriptions with the brand of beer.

Bohemian glass and crystal are famous all over the world. However, in Prague it is quite expensive; at the same prices you can buy it in your native capital. But we certainly cannot find such a variety of Bohemian glass products. These include all kinds of figurines, vases, chandeliers, exquisite champagne glasses, shot glasses, simple dishes, etc. By the way, in the Czech Republic - a good choice Bohemian glass beer mugs, so it’s quite possible to combine these two souvenirs.

If the person you are going to give a gift to prefers more serious drinks, then buy him Slivovica or Becherovka. "Slivovitz" is a plum vodka that is produced in the southern part of the Czech Republic - Zlín, and is very successfully exported. "Becherovka" is a 38-proof liqueur with a pleasant cinnamon flavor. By the way, Becherovka is added to “Czech coffee.”

However, there is an even stronger Czech souvenir that can be an excellent gift - the famous 70-proof absinthe. The green drink is a real “green serpent” of the creative Parisian bohemia of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Remarque, Van Gogh, Picasso and many others adored this bitter drink made from wormwood until it was banned in France and replaced by Pernod. As you know, absinthe has long been aniseed. And only the Czech Republic preserves the traditions of the past and produces real absinthe, based on wormwood with the addition of anise.

China

Many souvenirs that are sold in different countries, even those bearing national flavor, are made in China. So don’t be surprised when a souvenir British policeman’s helmet or a toy double-decker English bus says “made in China.” What can China itself offer in terms of souvenirs?

China, as you know, is the birthplace of tea. The Chinese prefer green tea; they do not drink black tea. But there are a great variety of green varieties sold there: jasmine, white, powder, etc. You can buy it at the market, or purchase an expensive collectible in a salon along with a whisk for whipping powdered tea or other equally original tea accessories.

China is also the birthplace of porcelain. A good addition to green tea would be a porcelain teapot or tea set. In addition, huge jugs and small vases, cups, mugs, figurines, plates and much more are made from porcelain. And all this is covered with Chinese pictures (mainly dragons) and gilded ornaments.

Silk also originated in China. So a good gift could be silk Chinese robes woven with dragons, as well as all kinds of ties, shirts, blouses, and underwear.

An excellent souvenir is silk or paper fans of various sizes. Small fans in Ancient China worn not only by women, but also by most noble men, including the emperor of the Celestial Empire. And huge ones (more like fans), painted with entire landscapes, can be hung on the wall.

You can give bamboo products. This could be a cane, a curtain, a flute or a specific bell in the form of tubes - the so-called “wind music”, which, according to Chinese beliefs, drives away evil spirits.

A very interesting souvenir is Chinese rice vodka, sold in a bamboo bottle. However, many people do not like its taste - such connoisseurs of beauty should be given a tincture of ginseng, which is sold in abundance in China, as a gift. Ginseng, especially in combination with alcohol, has a tonic and anti-inflammatory effect. It's inexpensive and tastes good.

Cuba

If you are lucky enough to get to the country of Hemingway, Fidel Castro and sultry Cubans, be sure to buy Havana cigars there. Fortunately, prices in the capital of Cuba are still quite socialist, and the choice of cigars is the richest. Just be sure to learn how to smoke them - these are not just cigarettes, so there is a whole ritual for smoking them. By the way, according to experts, about 80% of Havana cigars sold here are fake.

Of course, you should buy the famous Cuban rum to accompany your Havana cigars. For example, the “white” rum Havana Club Carta Blanca, or even better the “dark” Matusalem Anejo Superior, which has been produced since 1872 in Santiago de Cuba, the historical homeland of Cuban rum. After drinking rum and taking a puff of a cigar, any man will feel like a real macho.

Another purely male souvenir can be a machete. Local craftsmen make very scary knives from excellent steel with wooden handles. However, a machete that is too large is considered a bladed weapon, so hide it in the depths of your luggage, and under no circumstances carry it in your hand luggage.

When we travel, we usually want to buy small souvenirs that will remind us of the places we were lucky enough to visit. We want to buy something original and special, but we end up buying the most typical trinkets in banal souvenir shops. On the other hand, if you didn't bring a keychain in the shape of the Eiffel Tower from Paris, then you've never been there! TravelAsk offers you to get acquainted with the 25 simplest and most common souvenirs that people often bring from different corners peace.
