Any good ideas for gifts from Barcelona?

This is my last week in Barcelona and to be honest, I am panicing here. I need ideas on gifts for women and preferrably, not anything from Gaudi. They are pretty good friends of mine and I need something that’s from 15 to 20 euro. I thought of getting the clothes from the european brands, but the styles are pretty much the same as U.S. I also thought of t-shirt, cups, picture frames, magnets and ornaments, but I haven’t seen any that my friends would like. Any idea?

Your mom wants turrone. It’s an almond/honey treat which is typical around Christmas, so might not be too available this time of year. Try Corte Inglés. Might be your best bet for such things… Or go pick up some of those incredible chocolates. Actually, my friend went to Corte Inglés and found some really nice food gifts to bring home. (I, personally, didn’t even darken their doors in a whole month on our trip…don’t really care for the big department store, thing, you know? then she told me how she had made out and I thought, maybe I SHOULD have done…You could bring home some unusual teas for your lady friends, or just go to the mall and pick up a variety of perfumes. There were plenty that you would never be able to find in the US. I particularly like the ones designed by Adolfo Domínguez. Very nice, though maybe a touch over your limit. I think they ran about 25€ a bottle, but you might find something a little less pricey that you like. Interestingly, I don’t recall seeing much I recognized.

And then there’s always chocolate! The chocolate there is SO good! You can just walk into one of the shops and pick out pretty boxes of those hand-made chocolates, or buy bars for them, or get some drinking chocolate. Just be sure to let them know they don’t use preservatives, and unlike American Chocolates, they won’t last six months before they eat them.

I brought home some cans of paté, those would make nice gifts, and coffee. If you have a coffee drinker in the bunch, pick up some bags of Torrefacto coffee. (that’s what you get in the cafés. – and it’s the only place I know of where you can get it. Just make sure it says Torrefacto on it, or you’re going to wind up with something very similar to what you get here.)
