“Khadi (traditional handwoven) scarves, notebooks made out of elephant poop and bangles–lots and lots of bangles. Oh, and boutique Indian-style baby clothes. Because there’s nothing cuter than embroidered elephants on soft cotton for the little ones.”

Let’s close out the year with one more new series – I introduce for you The Diplomatic Notes, which I hope will be a monthly series of answers to curious questions from other diplomat bloggers about living in the many different corners of the world. First up, the holiday season and all the gifts it brings! With so many global stores available in so many locations, it’s easy to forget that there are still really unique things out there that are special to the many places we live.
From readers, I’d love to hear what are the things you’ve been giving this season that are unique to your hometown or country!
Such a fun post and great idea to start "diplomatic notes." All of those gifts sound so exotic and lovely
I feel so wordly just after reading this! In my head I'm all " Is this even real? Cause I know I asked for new tires for my Toyota……" Thank you for sharing! I'l have to come back for more things that blow my mind right out of the Oklahoma water!
I will definitely tune in for the Diplomatic Notes! And think of some questions. I loved this post!
