Considering the wide range of crazy options the gift shops offer nowadays, hunting for souvenirs can be pretty fun. Here are some of our favourite picks from traditional to cool!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the fact that the array of creative alternatives is simply inexhaustible when it comes to gifts from abroad, sweets, postcards, magnets, key holders and shot glasses still manage to remain the most popular souvenirs all around the world. Whether you are a tourist or an expat living in Hungary, we guarantee that local gift shops have something surprising in store for you too. Let\u2019s take a look at some notable ideas!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Give more thought to shopping!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sometimes the perfect souvenir is easier to find than you would think: it may be in a supermarket or a toy store in a shopping mall. Ground red pepper in a flashy container is among our favourite gift ideas, as well as Hungarian playing cards and Rubik\u2019s world-famous mechanical puzzle, the Rubik\u2019s Cube. A smaller bottle of our national \u201cpotion\u201d, p\u00e1linka also makes a great, personalized gift. You should consider popping into WestEnd shopping mall (located right next to Nyugati Railway Station) too, where Bp Shop\u2019s cool, fashionable shirts, hats and bags are being sold.<\/p>\n

Visit WAMP, the design fair!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

WAMP is a true gem among outdoor markets, where brand new designer products are available at reasonable prices. WAMP often cooperates with other initiatives, and the joint projects often result in exciting exhibitions. Dozens of emerging Hungarian designers conquer Erzs\u00e9bet t\u00e9r (Akv\u00e1rium Klub\u2019s area) on 5 August to showcase their works, and you can purchase unique fashion and jewellery pieces, notebooks, toys, and many more, straight from the manufacturer. Bring home a cool Vinylize sunglasses case made by Tipton Eyeworks, choose from Zemse\u2019s fashion jewellery, or check out NATI 100% Pure IDEA\u2019s midsummer jeans collection. LifeisTshirt\u2019s fun shirts are also worth a check!<\/p>\n

Hungary-themed designer gifts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Everyone loves ANNAAMELIA\u2019s gorgeous tote bags which are available at Punch Store (Paulay Ede utca 15.) with designs of Budapest\u2019s iconic buildings printed on them. Once you are in Paulay utca, visit Project Showroom, where you\u2019ll find Readheads Design\u2019s fun Budapest Collection. Printa, one of Hungary\u2019s first environmentally conscious brands is also known for its Budapest-inspired clothes and accessories that you can purchase at the Hungarian State Opera House\u2019s gift shop, among several other locations. The brand Ig\u00e9z\u0151 celebrates Hungarian folk art; their collections reflect how colourful and unique our national heritage is. If you are thinking of bringing a Hungarian fashion piece home, take a look at T\u00fcnde Hrivn\u00e1k\u2019s brand called By Me as well. Among collections such as Spicy, Maty\u00f3, and Vad\u00e1sz you\u2019ll find pieces showcasing iconic Hungarian designs admired by all the classy ladies. Find them at the Festival of Folk Arts from 17-20 August at Buda Castle, where you can hunt for other awesome handmade gifts, too!<\/p>\n

Souvenir shops<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How about buying an unusual but cool gift, such as a Budapest-inspired puzzle box? Available in different sizes and shapes, these boxes can only be opened by solving a puzzle or a simple but tricky move. It is artistic, creative and a showy sort of thing with the capital city\u2019s designs featured on top of the wooden box. We also love a nice porcelain doll dressed up in a national folk costume, but if your luggage space is limited, go for a nice lilac organza sachet filled with dried lavender harvested in Pannonhalma, one of the most known lavender fields of Hungary.<\/p>\n

TOP 3 funny gift ideas around the world<\/strong><\/h3>\n

#1 Canned fog is on top of our \u201cbest of souvenirs\u201d compilation, and you can purchase this extraordinary product in San Francisco, California. Fun fact: Budapest has its own version, too!<\/p>\n

#2 Pumped from 3,000 miles underwater off the coast of Kona, Hawaii\u2019s MaHaLo water is another unusual souvenir.<\/p>\n

#3 The American capital of jazz, New Orleans is also known for having a rich history of voodoo, so it isn\u2019t surprising that all kinds of bottled voodoo swag can be purchased there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
