To hand out at work or to friends
For gifts to hand out, lightness and easy bulk buying are key. Chocolate, tea, paper goods and small soaps fit into the gaps in your suitcase.
Tips for choosing
- Individually wrapped items, or ones easy to divide, are easier to hand out
- Buying in bulk at one shop makes it easier to get matching wrapping and bags
- For food, check the best-before date and ingredients before buying
