any thoughts?

What's your budget? And how old are these people?

Fruit box or basket is always a good choice but fruits are expensive in Korea....

May be a nice looking green tea gift set that you can get from the supermarket, which will set you back 10/15k or so?

god, i don't even know maybe mid thirties, with a two year old kid.
thanks for the advice. i'll have a little look in our local mart

A small age-appropriate toy for the child never goes amiss.

Food will definitely be the best option if it's a family, cos they'll appreciate that.

The age-old question : Toilet Paper of laundry detergent? Or maybe a whole lotta Spam.

I generally settle on whiskey, tell the truth ... never fails to make a smile. And sometimes they share a little with me.

So what did you do?

What was their reaction?

This will be good for future reference for other noobs!
