I've done a search and read some threads, so just to be clear: I'm not planning on bringing liquor for my principal or VP. I'm not planning on showering my coworkers with knick-knacks. It seems to be the general consensus of advice on what not to do...

However, I do have a small set of people who have gone the extra mile for me in getting me this position and in my arrival to Korea, and I would be remiss if I did not bring them a little something special.

So I'm looking to bring them some gifts - maybe in the ~$20 range.

I bought some towels for a couple of them on the advice of my mother, but I read in one thread that big fluffy towels aren't a big deal anymore. Is this true?

Any ideas for things that are really hard to find in Korea that Koreans really like?
