I'd always heard that you could get a wide variety of stuff from Chinese shopping websites, but I've never taken the time to check them out before. And now I have, and it's hilariful like whoa.
The souvenirs you wanted to buy in China but didn't actually find in touristy shops:
Embroidery kits (what? I'd always wanted to learn to do Chinese embroidery - apparently they provide you real silk thread which is hard to come by where I am). Also embroidery paraphernalia.
Mink yarn.
Erhu... except I imagine it'd be a bit tough to get through customs due to the need to verify that the python skin used is from a sustainable source/not prohibited for import/any other reason.
Ooh, I've always wanted a jinghu!
Except if you go down the slippery slope of checking out musical instruments, what's to stop you from wanting to buy a
guqin?
