What should you consider before choosing a gift for a foreigner?
What should I give a foreigner?
Choose something only Georgia makes, that is light, doesn't break and fits in any bag. That means cloisonné enamel, silver made with Georgian motifs, textiles with ornament, or leather decorated with the Georgian alphabet.
What should I give a foreign family?
Rather than a separate gift for each member, one shared thing for the home is better: an ornamented runner, a painted plate or a Georgian rug. Add churchkhela too, so everyone can taste it.
The chokha and the dagger
A chokha, the traditional Georgian coat, is sewn to a person's measurements, so you can't give it as a surprise. Any knife or dagger is banned from hand luggage: it must go in your checked baggage.
If the gift has to be sent abroad
Most shops deliver only inside Georgia, so ask first. You can carry the gift yourself, or hand it to the guest before they leave Georgia. Gift shops
