There’s an old and much-loved tradition in Thailand to never return home empty-handed from your travels abroad. Travelers returning home to Thailand take great joy in handing out souvenirs of their adopted country to eagerly awaiting friends and relatives. Luckily, Thai citizens working in Australia are spoiled for choice with a wide variety of ideal and inexpensive Australian gifts available. But the more people you care about back home, the more gifts you feel obliged to bring back with you. And excess baggage costs can become prohibitive and put a damper on your best intentions.
Ship Your Australian Gifts with Sabuy Express
Thankfully, Sabuy Express has come up with a unique solution that allows you to easily and inexpensively provide gifts for everyone back home in Thailand. The shipping cost from Australia to Thailand is much less than the excess baggage cost. So, Sabuy Express offers a variety of shipping services, including customs clearance and direct delivery to any location in Thailand.
Our customers can choose between air freight (7-10 days) and sea freight (45-60 days), with door-to-door delivery options that make your arrival back home simple and easy. We’ll explain more about our easy shipping options later. But first, let’s take a look at the wide variety of fun and inexpensive Australian gifts available.
Food Gifts from Australia
Food gifts are extremely popular in Thailand. It doesn’t matter how fancy or exotic they are. What matters is tasting something new!
Australia has a wide range of food products that are unique to the continent. Vegemite and Tim Tams used to be much-desired gifts from Australia, but you can find them on the shelves of many Thai grocery stores these days. More appropriate food gifts that you’re unlikely to find anywhere else are gifts like kangaroo and crocodile jerky, Australian tea, coffee beans, chocolate snacks, and eucalyptus honey.
Australia has a thriving artisanal chocolate industry and produces many types that make excellent gifts. The country down under also has its signature versions of coffee creations like a “flat white”. This is a single shot of espresso with a generous pour of steamed milk and a layer of foam. A gift of Australian-branded coffee beans and a recipe book of Australian coffee drinks makes a perfect gift.
Clothing, Hats and Jewelry
Australian Blundstone and Uggs boots can now be found in shoe stores all over the world, but there are still some varieties of quality Australian sheepskin boots and clothing that make perfect gifts. Wide-brimmed “Brumby” type hats in the classic Australian style are great gifts for the hot Thai weather. The hats come in authentic kangaroo leather and a variety of cloth and straw materials.
Vibrant and colorful Aboriginal silk ties and scarves also make the ideal elegant gift from down under. These beautiful silkscreened ties and scarves are extremely popular and available in souvenir shops and clothing stores all across Australia.
Australia is also famous for the quality of the opals it produces. For a very special person, consider bringing them back a piece of high-quality opal jewelry.
Practical Gifts from Australia
Not every gift from Australia has to be fun or filling. There are many practical Australian goods that are simply less expensive than comparable ones in Thailand. It makes economic sense to ship them home rather than buy them in Thailand.
Appliances like coffee-makers or espresso machines are always welcome. Hard-to-find auto parts are also an excellent gift for the mechanic in the family.
Australia has a thriving health and wellness industry, as well as a booming cosmetics industry, and brand-name products like vitamins, creams, supplements, cosmetics and perfumes can be much less expensive to ship home. Australia also manufactures quality yoga products, tents, wetsuits and other sports gear – perfect for yogis and outdoor enthusiasts.
When shopping in Australia for appropriate gifts to bring home, always consider a friend or family member’s practical needs and check Australian availability on items that are hard to find in Thailand.
