Congrats on being so organized! We picked up our son from Korea in January. If you are working with Eastern they will give you many keepsakes for the baby. Eastern gave us a hanbok (from the Foster mother), a necklace, a book about Korea, a towel with Eastern's name and a photo album (also from the foster family).

We picked up a few items at Namdaemun market though. The market is wonderful for shopping but you have to be able to withstand crowds! We purchased a Korean flag which we hang from the ceiling over his crib. We also purchased some small items like flag pins, fans and dolls. The other extremely helpful item was purchasing kids dvds and movies. He really enjoyed watching them and listening to the language when he came home.

I hope that helps!
