My shiny new suitcase, next to all the things that will go on it. Plus all the things that will go in it!

All the Xiumin paraphernalia is for LP, and I also got her Song Joong Ki socks since she recapped DotS.

The EXO lotion was BOGO so I got the Chen for me since I love avocado and they gave me a stand of his, too. So if there are any Chen fans, let me know if you want your own little cardboard cutout to fangirl over! ^_^

All the face masks were “service” and I’m especially excited about the Pikachu ones, like, I better look like a Pokemon when I’m wearing it. I also have a zillion of the tiny little lotions because they were so cute and the lady was like “1+1!!! 1+1!!!!” which tbh was the only reason I could justify spending that much. Pity she didn’t offer half-price for just one set like that Nature Republic lady did.

Then there are all the non-cosmetics. On the bottom left is what I found in my “WELCOME TO KOREA!!!” gift bag. I love that the Global Etiquette book is just in Hangul. But the pen is cute and I’ll be using the wet wipes for sure.

The necklace was what I picked up at the Ssamzie market in Insadong. She’s on the top level and explained her process of crafting the necklaces (firing pieces of enamel). It reminded me of the sea and I’m such a sucker for handmade jewelry.

The shoes behind are also handmade out of paper. I found them in a tiny shop in Hanchon (in Busan) and the proprietor was so happy to show me around and explain everything. There were many colors to choose from, but I like these because they’re made from paper with a Hangul print. Also they’re strung together so I can hang them up if I want!

I browsed a couple of Artboxes but while I was delighted with many adorable things, I managed to talk myself out of actually buying them. But I couldn’t resist this cute travel journal or the “Wizard of Oz” annual diary/calendar. The tote was on sale and I just had to buy it, at least to remember how much I’ve enjoyed my “milk teas.” ^_^

The box behind is NOT going in the suitcase. That’s my handmade set of Silla-style pottery and will instead be lovingly carried on the plane with me.

Whew. So that’s all my souvenirs! Most of which were bought in the last 24 hours. :p

Not pictured: snacks/candy to give to coworkers. Hopefully there will be something in the duty free shops at the airport because that’s where I usually get my “for a group of people I barely know” treats.
