I'm going to be visiting Australia soon to visit all the family/friends and am not sure what I can take home as a variety of gifts for everyone thats are "gifts from Dubai". 3 years ago I took Camel chocolates, keychains and mini Burj Khalifas. Has anyone got some recommendations of things you take back and the family love??

Thanks. Good ideas. Any suggestions for children that we haven't see in years so I have no idea about sizes for clothes or likes/dislikes?
Bangles and jewellery for the girls or go stop at the antique museum to get them a wooden jewellery box and a set of the DXB police model cars for the boys. That usually works with my friends and family.

Chocodates are always popular.
I love them- can't stop eating them once I open a packet and try and convince myself they are healthy as they have dates in them, but its doubtful

Toy camels for sure- went down a storm with my nieces and nephews... there's some really good little stalls and shops in Souq Al Bahar that have a wide range of touristy stuff that I've got some good things from. They have cute little figures of like camels, peacocks etc. that open up as tiny trinket boxes- I can't explain properly but my nieces love them. Chocodates are also a family favourite now... oh and arabic man and lady salt and pepper sets.... they were v popular

I once got my family those small sand bottles with the pictures of the camels in it and they loved it. At some places they'll even add a name for you. Else, my go-to is always dates. It's easy to find, shouts out Dubai and is always a winner with everyone back home.
