Gifts to take from Chile?

Question

What could I take back to Sweden that is really chilean? I live in Sweden and will travel soon to Santiago and was wondering what could I take back to Sweden as typical chilean souvenirs. Bear in mind I haven't lived in Chile for the past 20 years so I really don't know what's typical now.

Answer 1

If you have friends that like to cook, a cookbook of typical Chilean food is always a welcome gift. Or, if you want to be more creative, get the cookbook, make a bunch of Chilean dishes and invite all your friends over to enjoy them with you. Jewlery or other items made from Lapis Lazuli also makes a great gift (and doesn't take up a lot of space in your luggage). Chilean wine, handicrafts, and pisco could go on your list as well, and don't forget to take a jar of manjar home with you!

Answer 2

Get some typical Chilean handicrafts which you'll see all over the place in the markets, and buy some of that yummy spicy sauce that you can't get at home.  Have a great time.

Answer 3

You should buy a "Indio Picaro" jaja its a wood figure very funny, Pisco, national liquor of Chile.

No se me ocurre nada mas, ademas lo tipico no cambia en 20 años. Saludos.
