Gifts for loved ones

Businessperson's quick guide to what to buy

By Kim Da-ye

In Korea, May is called the month dedicated to families. Children’s Day falls on the 5th and Parents’ Day on the 8th. For many, Teachers’ Day on the 15th is equally important.

Often gratitude is expressed by presenting gifts on those particular days. This is not a simple task for busy businessmen and hardworking businesswomen to add to their already full agenda. To save time three major department stores shared with Business Focus some recommendations and ideas for suitable gifts during this month of showing appreciation.
