People love receiving gifts from family and friends who have traveled to far away places, so make sure that you know how to buy gifts and souvenirs for others when traveling abroad so that you can surprise them with items that they will like. You will have to take a number of things into account, but purchasing a gift can be a fun adventure that will leave a lasting memory.
人们总是喜欢收到身边外出旅行的亲朋好友从远方带回来的礼物。所以呢,当你出国旅行时,一定要了解如何为他人购买礼物和纪念品,把他们喜欢的东西带回来,给他们来个惊喜。为此,你得多考虑些事情,但买礼物本身也是一种有趣的经历,而且能留下一段永远的回忆。
Steps
步骤
1.Purchase a gift that is native to or specific to the country in which you are traveling.
海外旅行时,购买当地特有的礼物。
?Bring back a Hummel figurine from Germany, consider a bottle of wine from Italy, think about native-made bracelets from Africa or bring home a kimono from Japan.
德国胡梅尔雕像、意大利葡萄酒、非洲手镯、日本和服,这些富有当地特色的礼品都可以考虑考虑。
?Think about more touristy gifts like shot glasses or snow globes, both of which can be fun collector items. Purchase items that clearly show where they are from. Make sure to purchase a high-quality one, and be sure and pack your items well for the return trip.
还可以考虑玻璃杯或雪花玻璃球这样的纪念品,这两样都是有趣的收藏品。所买的东西要让人一眼看出它产自哪里。一定要买高品质的东西,而且包装要结实,确保礼品带回国时仍然完好无损。
?Purchasing an international Christmas ornament or something that you can fashion into a Christmas ornament is fun gift that can be brought out each year for the holidays as a reminder of the trip or the person or people who gave the gift.
购买的礼物不管是圣诞节装饰品还是圣诞节要用的装饰品,都是很有趣的,每年圣诞节时都可以拿出来看看,可以纪念下这次旅行或者是想念下送这些礼物的人。
2.Make sure the gift will not break before you can give it to the recipient.
送礼之前,确保礼物完好无损。
?Choose gifts based on either durability or the shop's ability to wrap it up well enough to get it home. This is particularly true for figurines, glassware, vases and any hand-blown glass that you come across and purchase.
在挑选礼物时,根本原则就是礼物本身要质地坚固,而且要让礼品店把礼物包装结实,要确保礼物在被带回来后仍然完好无损。对于雕像、玻璃器皿、花瓶、手工吹制的玻璃礼品,要格外注意。
?If you don't think that you can treat the gift with all the care needed because it is too fragile, you are probably best off not purchasing it in the first place.
如果你觉得礼物易碎,你不敢保证它能万无一失,最好就别买。
3.Think about jewelry that is native to the country in which you're traveling.
海外旅行时,可以购买当地特有的珠宝饰品。

?Jewelry can be worn daily or on special occasions, but it will always remind the recipient of you.
那些被人们经常佩戴在身上或是在特殊场合下才佩戴的珠宝饰品,会时刻让人想起你这位送礼的朋友。
?Make sure that you purchase high-quality jewelry as the fake and cheap stuff will tarnish, fade or can even cause an allergic reaction to the person to whom you're giving it.
要保证你所买的珠宝首饰一定要是正宗真品,因为赝品或廉价礼物通常会变色、褪色,甚至可能让收此礼物的人产生过敏反应。
4.Make sure that you are following all national and international rules regarding any food purchases that you plan to bring home.
如果你带回来的礼物是食品类,那就得遵守国内外所有法规。

5.Ensure that your gift is age-appropriate to its recipient.
确保礼物与收礼人的年龄相适应。
