Buying gifts while you're travelling is always a hard thing to do. I have for you a list of relativelly cheap gifts you can buy to your loved ones in Seoul and I hope it will give you some ideas:

• Tea gift box:

We have been gifted from Seoul a big beautiful tea box and I recommand this the ones who want to make their parents happy. My mother really enjoyed this tea box.

Where to buy tea boxes:
-Namdeamun and Insadong markets
-Malls

• Korean TOTEMS: 

I personnaly think these Korean Totems funny with their mouth wide open and teeth shown they can make anyone smile.

These totems are available in wood, metal and even plastic.

Where to buy Korean totems:

-Namdeamun Market (really cheap items !)

-Insadong Market

-Coex mall souvenirs shops

• Books:

If you want to buy books, I suggest you KYOBO BOOKSTORE. It's the largest korea's bookstores chain. I was impressed to notice that this bookstore was so huge and you can find not only a large variety of books but also other cute accessories (postcards, material for scratchbooks, albums...etc.) -How to get there: 1) City Hall (Seoul Subway Line 1 & 2), Exit 4. 2) Gwanghwamun Station (Seoul Subway Line 5), Exit 4. Cute socks:    Seoul has got the cutest socks ever! You can buy your favourite characters socks in a really cheap price (1000 Won/ 0,9$ - 2000 won/ 1,7$)!! Many coulours and characters are available: Minions, K-POP singers, K-DRAMA actors, cartoon characters...etc.  -Where to buy cute socks: Mainly at Myeongdong Subway station, Myeongdong main street, Namdeamun Market and Insadong Market. Smartphone cases: Another original gift you can think of is the cute smartphone cases you can find in many subway stations like Myeongdong shopping center, Gangnam and also in Myeongdong main street, Namdeamun Market, Insadong Market, Malls...etc. You will have a huge choice of characters and designs, so stay focused! Korean Mask frames: If you want a typical souvenir from Korea, you have to think of Korean masks. And if you don't want to bother yourself with a big heavy mask, why not buy a small mask frame instead? These frames are a really good ornament for your living room. -Where to buy korean mask frames: Mainly in NAMDEAMUN market and INSADONG market from 10.000 Won to 40.000 Won. You can find them also in Coex mall souvenir shops.     And you? What did you buy when you were in SEOUL ? :)
