The 2024 Korea Must-Buy Souvenir Special is here! The Korean government announced that starting from January 1st, the single and total tax refund amount will be doubled. This is great news for those who want to buy a lot of souvenirs or do代購 (daigou - purchasing goods on behalf of others). Let's take a look at some delicious and suitable gift souvenirs!

Olive Young is a popular cosmetics store among locals, and its "low-calorie" bagel crisps are widely loved by tourists. The cute shapes and numerous flavors make it irresistible, and even eating a whole bag only contains 260 calories, which is significantly lower than other snacks. It's perfect for both gifting and personal consumption!

Korean fish cake soup is always a memorable dish for tourists. Now there are fish cake soup "tea bags" available, which can be easily brewed to enjoy the authentic flavor, bringing your taste buds back to Korea! Besides drinking it plain, you can also add fish balls, noodles, etc. yourself.

If you love cheesecake, come here! This shop is a super popular spot with long queues. It's a hot-selling souvenir that you should rush to grab as soon as it opens! With a cute and elegant design, topped with a thin layer of sugar glaze, the taste is a fusion of souffle and cheesecake. Frozen for a more creamy texture!

This chocolate-filled cake from Lotte claims to be "zero sugar". Although it still uses maltitol, for chocolate lovers who are watching their weight, it's a great blessing! The cake is small, fluffy and eating one at a time is very satisfying~ It's also convenient to share!

The milk buns launched by Yen Shi University are incredibly popular. You probably can't imagine why the school's food is so well-loved. The entire bun is packed with filling, fragrant with milk flavor. While the original flavor is the most sought after, their continuously released new flavors are also very attractive, such as coffee, strawberry banana, chocolate, and red bean cream.

Have you ever tried a croissant that's as hard as rice cakes? This flat brioche croissant cookie is all the rage in Korea. The crispy cookies retain the flavor of croissants. Whether you eat it with coffee alone, or add ice cream and fruit together, it's very enjoyable! You can buy it at GS25 convenience stores.

Lego-shaped super cute financiers! This handmade cake shop is very popular, the aroma inside is overflowing, and there are many flavors of financiers on display. They aren't too sweet to eat and are also suitable for gifting. However, they only have a shelf life of 14 days, so you can buy them later in your itinerary!

This is a blue and white European-style dessert shop. The small madeleines are displayed by flavor, with many people recommending the bittersweet matcha flavor! The store also sells pastries like croissants, but the storefront is very small, so you might need to wait in line for a while!

Spread a layer of chocolate on the baked orange slices, it's so delicious and tangy! This is also a very popular Korean souvenir, with flavors like yogurt, cola, and white chocolate to choose from. Now it's available at major duty-free shops and department stores in Korea.

Lastly, there's corn silk tea for health preservation. It's low in calories and caffeine-free, can also eliminate water retention, and contains the nutrients of both corn kernels and silk. Plus, the natural sweetness of corn makes the tea less bitter. Whether you just want something to drink or are looking to nourish your health and beauty, it's a great choice!
