lexiana asked:


I’m coming to the end of my two month stay in Germany and I still have no idea what to buy for gifts. I’ve got about 10 or 15 € left for prezzies for each of my sisters, maybe 20 or 25 € for mum, and about 5 € (maybe a little more, we’ll see) for each of my three best friends. I have some Didl Maus stuff already for them all.
What can I get them that is typically German? I can’t buy sausages, (wurst) because New Zealand has really strict Customs policies on food. I’m not sure about chocolate, because that’s not exactly a lasting souvenir. And when I asked my host sister what is typically German, she came up with ‘cuckoo clocks’. I’m sure my mum would love a cuckoo clock, (well, not totally sure), but they tend to be a bit on the expensive side, and if it got broken in transit, it would be terrible.
Help!
10 points!
Sadly, I’m not going anywhere near the Berlin Wall. And we already have Kinder Überraschung in New Zealand - ‘cept there they’re called Kinder Surprise.
