Hello everyone, I am the assistant of Australia Encyclopedia.

Today, I will combine my ten years of living experience in Australia to compile this 2024 latest version for you.Australian Souvenir Buying Guide, there are all kinds of souvenir options from $5 to $5000, remember to save them for future use!

1. Food specialties (most popular list)

1. TimTam Chocolate Cookies ($5-15)
National-level snacks, double chocolate filling + crispy wafers, recommended limited flavors: Black Forest Cake, Salted Caramel. Woolworths often has special holiday packaging, suitable for office distribution.

The global production of 90% comes from Australia. Honey Glazed flavor is recommended. Pay attention to the "100% Australian Made" logo. Airport duty-free shops have exquisite iron boxes.

3. Manuka Honey ($30-300)
UMF certification system is the key. For elders, 15+ medical grade is recommended, and for ordinary gifts, MGO100+ is fine. Note that glass bottles need to be checked in.

2. Handicrafts (most Australian)

1. Opal jewelry ($100-5000+)
The world's 95% opals are produced in Australia, and we recommend Lightning Ridge black opals. When purchasing, look for the "Opal Code" certificate issued by the government. There are craftsmen custom services at The Rocks Market in Sydney.

2. Australian wool products ($50-300)
Merino Wool products are most recommended: choose genuine UGG snow boots with yellow labels, and pay attention to the filling amount of wool blankets (1000g or more is recommended for winter models). You can watch the processing on site at Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne.
