What gifts to bring to friends living in Israel

Recently, a friend of mine from Kiev went to visit Israel. Before leaving, she decided to ask her online friends what to bring as a gift to an Israeli friend. This entry collected more than five hundred comments, but in most of them advised to give lard. Below we will find out whether lard is really such a good gift and what you can still bring from Ukraine as a souvenir.

Ethnic clothing Vyshyvanka not only became a brand of Ukraine, but also loved by many foreigners as a fashion accessory. In embroidered shirts were seen celebrities of global scale.



Ukrainian designers do not dwell on the reproduction of ethnic embroideries, but boldly experiment with style patterns and forms. You can choose clothes for every taste!

If it is difficult to guess the taste of a person or his size, and you want to make a surprise, then you should pay attention to accessories in the Ukrainian style. For example, eco-bag, shopper, backpack or clutch, stylized as traditional Ukrainian covers spindles, perfectly complement the wardrobe and fit into almost any style of clothing.



If possible, be sure to treat foreign friends to Ukrainian food. Remember that Jews and Muslims are forbidden to eat pork. Don’t give them fat under any circumstances!

Do not take perishable foods, how they will carry the road. And also think carefully whether to take twists in glass jars (not only that they can break, so also a lot of weight, and they can not be carried in hand luggage on the plane). Although pickled mushrooms and jams to foreigners in most cases to taste, but it is better to replace dried mushrooms and berries.



A beautifully decorated box of candy is a universal gift. It is especially pleasant that the choice of Ukrainian sweets is really huge! Gift sets are produced not only by large corporations, but also by small regional manufacturers. By the way, small factories quickly adapt to the needs of customers and often make their goods for the rash of the day.



If your foreign friends adhere to proper nutrition, find a replacement for candy. It can be dried fruits, pastiles or honey. Especially popular now cream honey with the addition of fruits or other natural ingredients. By the way, the combination of tastes is the most unimaginable and will not leave indifferent any gourmet.

Included in sweets, it is good to give herbal teas (they can be given separately). The Ukrainian land is famous for the richness of nature.



Closing the topic of sweets, a sin not to remember the Ukrainian “kinder surprise”. This is often called fruit pastile Snail Bob, complete with a toy in the form of a company mascot - a snail.

It is worth noting that pastile is prepared only from natural ingredients without adding sugar. The company also produces other natural sweets: puree, marmalade, smoothies and other desserts.



Older children should look for a designer made of wood. The last few years in Ukraine a real boom of such toys. These designers are characterized by a high degree of detail and a well-thought-out mechanical part. In addition, most models are equipped with engines on rubber bands.

The tone was set by Ugears, followed by others: Veter Models, Mr. Playwood, 3D BRT and others. Thanks to competition, new and new models appear, so you can please everyone: boys and girls, women and men!



How not to remember that the best gift is a book. Children’s books of Ukrainian publishing houses received many international awards for design. Gift editions are pleasant to see, even without knowing the language, so beautiful there are drawings. And the most successful books can often be bought in English, so this gift will appeal to friends from abroad.



If we talk about gifts to adults, then one of the traditional Ukrainian souvenirs has always been vodka, tinctures, liquors and other alcoholic beverages. First, you need to know how much alcohol can be transported across the border. Otherwise, your gift will not pass through customs!

Well, to be sure that you can please a foreign friend, get to know him better and find out his hobbies and culinary preferences. This will make it easier for you to pick up a present.
