| It is hard to say without knowing who the gift is for. In general, try to bring something that is indigenous to your country (not something made in China). |

| Cris is right, buy your home products not things from China.If you are to be a foreign journalist in China, you must know foreign condition very well so why such question unless you are very new or you are not at all a reporter?Remember two classes of gifts......the lower & the upper for your business contacts, but for friends.....anything will do....not so expensive. |

| I know some world journalists. They give them their local materials or foods. If you are going to interview a person such as celebrities, political personalities, or others, a better gift is your local specialty. For taking surveys or opinions to other people, practice speaking Mandarin (I think you know already Mandarin). Thank the person you interview with a smile. Some Beijing citizens have a different taste for food and they want sweet or salty foods. You can also give souvenirs from your place as a way of thanking for their time but remember, they have a good moral value to you and they are very hospitable like the Filipinos, too. |

| Well, you will never go wrong with art pieces, for instance handmade portraits on oil, acryl or pencil. They really look classical! You simply select some nice photo - one of her most memorable ones or one taken in some beautiful landscape - and send it to the professional artists at http://www.paintyourlife.com to be turned into a unique portrait. It is a reliable address for all sorts of gift ideas for every occasion! They also do wonderful photo-printing on canvas in different designs as well as oil painting reproductions. Please take a look at http://www.photo-print-on-canvas.com and http://www.oil-paintings-reproductions.com for more information. |
