Travel Info What is the best polish souvenir that i can give to friends? Travel Tips hey, when I went to Poland and when my friends heard about it, they all asked for one thing - SLIWOWICA. So when I went to Poland and spoke to some people, they said yes.. you can guy one in a shop which is 45% alcohol but the best one you find South of Poland.. like Zakopane. I went there, search for it (did not want to give up!!) heard so much about it and YES!! I got in on the market (not in a shop!) 75%. It is real strong fire water. I even got the bottle for myself and reading to you now: Produced and bottled Lacko Poland. Daje krzepe, krasi lica, nasza lacka Sliwowica. It has a certificate. (so go to some markets and ask some old traditional polish women, they will know what you talking about) But there above is for adults only, otherwise the all the answers above covered most. There is also know cheese in Poland which is called OSYPKI (make sure it is really smoked sheep cheese.. some people sell it made out of cow milk). Again, the best you can get around Zakopane (and mountains). Others Polish crystal Depends what they like - a few suggestions: - booze (Zubrowka) - amber jewellery - CDs with Polish classical music - ethnic rubbish :) Amber Jewelry, shot glasses with the eagle on them, nesting dolls, hand carved wooden plates or boxes. - wooden carved boxes - even my 11 year old nephew loved his - polish dolls - embroidared scarves (for tables & such) - amber if you're in Gdansk particularly - gingerbread from Torun - salt from the mines outside Krakow hand knit sweaters if you're near the tarty mts. something fun and "kitchy" i got my group of gal friends.... small bottle of the cherry or honey liquor with a crystal shot glasss. it they are not POlish - don't get them something of the hokey type touristy items - get them something that is actually useful - they have some beautifully carved wooden boxes for men and women that i really really recommend!! |
