 1  Honey Butter Almonds Series

 

Honey Butter Almonds are on the 1st place of the Korean souvenirs list recently.

More than 20 different tastes will welcome you especially on Myeong dong street in Seoul. 

You would find around 10 big "ONLY ALMONDS" shops easily in Myeongdong. 

Otherwise, visit convenience store to get basic taste one named "Honey butter almonds"

I think I would like these Wasabi taste one and Caramel almonds with Pretzel one :)

 4  Facial Mask packs

 

No doubt about that Korea is strongest in cosmetic industry.

But you don't need to bother yourself wondering  around in the various cosmetic products.

I simply recommend to try Facial Mask packs.

That costs 2 dollars to 10 dollars each.

I googled on what facial packs are famous and decent.

And I got these two brands are mentioned as good.

Fortunately, you can meet these in one shop named "Olive Young"

These shop has a lot of branches throughout the Korea.

 5  Nail cutter with case

 

The world wide best seller in Nail cutter is made in Korea. I heard the brand name is "777 (three seven)".

But simply, I heard the nail cutter with case impressed my foreign friends.

It prevent nail fragments from being flicked out of the cutter - a kind of smart souvenir :)

If googled to know where you can buy cased nail cutters.

You might to see it at the cosmetic shops like Missha, and Olive Young.

 7  Cool pants (Summer) or Fleece-lined leggings (Winter)

 

I saw my foreign female friends were stocked to buy these pants saying "its amazing product for the price". 

In summer time, you might to see "Cool pants" (we actually call this "Fridge pants ;)") at many cloth shops. When in winter time, Fleece-line leggings replace the place. 

I think, Fleece leggings were more recommendable, cause it sounds more useful due to its various design. (skirt type, jean style, virtually pants shape and so on)
