There are three different options here.

You can check out Skyscanner and find flights and hotels to Argentina.

#4 Traditional alpargatas shoes

Are you looking for traditional Argentinian gifts for men? Then the most popular shoewear from Argentina is the perfect gift.

I know that TOMS is not an Argentinian brand, but before you head to the next gift, hear me out.

The classic TOMS shoe is actually based on the Argentinian alpargatas shoe.

#5 Argentinian yerba mate

If you don’t know what yerba mate is and you have no idea why this is one of the best Argentinian gifts, you’ve probably never been to Argentina or spent time with an Argentine.

Because boy, do they love their mate. They even have a national Mate day (30th of November)!

I’ve met quite a few Argentinian while traveling abroad and they all either traveled with yerba mate or repeatedly mentioned how much they missed it.

So first thing first, what exactly is yerba mate?

Yerba mate is a tea-like drink, and it’s the national drink of Argentina.

Yerba means herbs, and that’s basically what it is. It’s chopped tea leaves and herbs put in hot water in a cup (called a mate). It’s drunk with a straw that also functions as a sieve.
