I got a couple of gifts this week, both from the same student!
Yesterday I got a nice gift for the Lunar New Year or 설날 (it is Romanized as Seollal, but the Korean is actually written as Seolnal), one of the most important holidays in Korea.
The paper Hanbok (Korean dress) is a card from Kerry. A letter from the mom is in the envelope. 
The purple ribbon gift contained a business card holder. 
The red bag wrap had a fancy cloth bag and a note book. 
I guess Kerry picked out a book for me that had a butterfly because she likes butterflies.
Then today, it was Kerry's birthday party at school (and her sisters, but I don't teach her) and the gifts she brought for her classmates and teachers (goodie bag type gifts) was fancy soap. 
The students all got one bar. The main teachers each got two. 
They smell so nice!!!
One thing I find interesting in Korea is how everything is always wrapped. Even simple things are often wrapped very extravagantly.
