You are on a side trip to Frankfurt? Or do you want to delight friends and relatives back home with typical souvenirs? Then I have something for you!
For example, the souvenirs for my Japanese friend from Yokohama, who looks so much like Frankfurt because she used to live here - she needs her "monthly dose of Frankfurt", her monthly dose of Frankfurt. Picking something out for her means a mix of traditional - label: Frankfurt - and as cool as possible, because she lives near creative Tokyo. I already gave her a poster with a map of the city, which brought tears of joy because of the nostalgic touch. Currently I want to make her happy with a photo on wood in Pixibook format of the "Frankfurter Bubb". Because I miss my girlfriend so much and hope she will visit me on the Main again soon, she gets the motive with the direction arrow to Frankfurt. :-) Their sons learned German playing soccer in Praunheim. Because they are already young men and studying, the gift package includes the quartet game about the city - clever and surprising facts about the city and its sights. Ideal for social evenings on holiday and for having fun on the road. In the car, the back seat will cheer!
Another Japanese friend has just become a mother for the first time, so the funny bib came to me just right. So that even the smallest ones absorb the Hessian self-confidence with the mother's milk, the bib is licked and not spilled.
Speaking of car trips: Last month we were on a round trip at the relatives in Lower Saxony. My aunt lives next door, so I always drop by when she's not on one of her river cruises. You're wondering, like me, who always docks on the ships here in Frankfurt? Now you know: my 70-year-old aunt, who otherwise spends her retirement speculating on the stock market on the computer. Well, anyway, I can't fob her off with anything. No, she still feels young and was thrilled to receive the cool long-sleeved shirt with "069" printed on it. "069" - the hand-painted parts of the graphic designer Bärbel Arras inspire the Frankfurt women and are traded under the hand as an insider tip. The imaginative souvenir is available in many different variations!
Bembel - a jug like no other.
Is a Bembel not too kitschy? Well, a Bembel is a stein like no other. For my girlfriends in the USA or Brazil, no souvenir goes past the Frankfurt Krug. The connection to the Bavarian Maß is close, but at the same time the Krug is unique in the best sense of the word. Whether large or small - the lovable souvenir exudes genuine Frankfurt originality. For real guys, the Hessen department store has recently started offering the beloved cider in a can - called "Bembel with care."
The Grie Soß'und Senf mit Apfelwein
I didn't know the traditional sauce to go with eggs and fried potatoes before moving to Frankfurt. The locals' favorite dish consists of seven herbs. In the meantime, gourmets have discovered, refined and recomposed the traditional sauce. Every taste is catered for: green sauce made from wild herbs, green sauce herb sorbet and green sauce cocktails. If that's too special for you, just reach for "mustard." A mix with the local specialty, namely apple cider, make the yellow condiment a souvenir to savor.
You can tell I'm a sucker for practical souvenirs and gifts: my highlight? A keychain. Thick and handy, so that the key can no longer hide, but is always handy.
And if nothing else helps, then reach for the gift for all those who already really have EVERYTHING but want no hip pad. Instead of cake on the table, just present a neck pillow in a package. The no-fat gift option will be THE talk at the coffee klatch you enjoy together!
