Bringing presents back from overseas

In this world of instant availability of everything is there still stuff that you get or want from different countries? DH is going to Korea for work and if he gets to go while I’m stuck at home with the kids I wants something nice bringing back!
Any suggestions of Korean must haves that I can’t easily get here?
What do you ask for or bring back from overseas?

Normally it's local sweet treats. Anything else tends to just be tat.

If you want something nice I would ask for specific make up or perfume from the duty free. If you ask for something "from Korea" you will probably get some tat from a souvenir shop or some local delicacy that you are unlikely to want to eat 😂

Haha thanks both, I don’t think I want anything like chocolate covered kimchi so will specify sweets 😁

Korea will have lovely things like silk scarves, oriental fans etc. Perhaps something like that? Not the tatty ones, but a really nice one.

My SIL is Korean - she always brings me back skincare as she knows I'm a bit of a fan.
