Can anyone give me ideas?
I need an idea of what to give relatives of mine that I'll be staying by. I'm travelling overseas for a chasunah and I'm staying by their house for a week. I'm limited in weight since I can only take one 50lb suitcase and that is pretty full with only my personal stuff.
Please give me an idea what to buy.
Thanks all.

We often buy things at the city of destination, to save space in the suitcase. Or, you can put it in your carry on and then you have no weight limit.

If you'll be able to shop at your destination, and don't think they'd specifically like something from your country, then it might make sense to buy something there. That way you'll have a chance to get a look at what they like/use/need and gift accordingly.

Otherwise...a mezuzah case? A challah cover? A matted print/picture/watercolor that they can frame (or you can have framed there)?

You didn't say where you're from or where you're going or what your gift budget is, but if I were going overseas I would select either something for which my country is famous--Swiss chocolate if I were coming from Switzerland, for example--or something very small and light like jewelry or silk scarves. If you're going to EY, the source of all things Judaic, I wouldn't bother bringing Judaica because they have that there, more and better and less expensive. OTOH if you're coming from EY, Judaica is an obvious choice.

I'm not sure how stuff you buy in the airport duty-free shop affects baggage limits. If the stuff you buy in the shop doesn't count towards your weight limit, you could buy something alcoholic (liquor or perfume), though the prices are insanely high.
