Buenos Aires Souvenir for Argentians
Posted: Mon March 24, 2008 05:33 AM UTC
Hi all,

I seek your advice on what should I get for my business colleagues in Buenos Aires. They are one man (age 30+) and two women (age 30+ and 40+). I come from Singapore. I would like to know what are the things that Argentians really appreciate if i were to buy something from Singapore.

Also, is there any meet during 1st to 7th April in Buenos Aires? I'd love to meet you guys there!

Having spent almost 3 years living and working with Argentines, I would say that they would value more something that is unique to your culture. It doesn't have to be expensive either. Argentines are big travelers and enjoy learning about other cultures.

Thanks for your feedback - both are invaluable!

For electronic gadgets, how much does iPod shuffle cost in Argentina. Also, are they using GSM 900/1800 for mobile phones?

Culture gifts - handicrafts. Do they appreciate this?

yes, handicrafts, something tradicional in your culture, they will be excellent gifts. Dont take electronics with you, better something special and different.
