Aww my friend who's been living and working in China for a decade or so has decided to leave and wants to bring me a small gift. Wants to know what I want, and I have no idea what to suggest! Any ideas guys? Something useless for the kitchen?

Suggest a random thing from one of their favourite shops or places?

I’d suggest dumplings but I don’t think they’d make the trip.

Some decent tea perhaps.

Gotta make sure it's okay biosecurity wise, but tea straight from the motherland would be awesome.
