Hi vanities! Wow! I don't know! I couldn't say anything specific. I would like something that represents your country. Some kind of souvenier that I could display that would always remind me of you perhaps! Like a vase or a dish or something like that! I like pretty things that I can display! Nothing fancy because I'm not the fancy type.lol I would never expect a guest to bring something anyway. That isn't customary. So I would just be happy with anything, but more importantly I would just want your company and I do mean that!

I think that everyone's going to agree on this one... something that represents your country but also something you like or feel represents your personality. Something with history or tradition, and something that can be taught or explained so that we will always remember that piece of you when you leave back for your home country.

Hello vanities. I have never thought about this yet, but I think that I am already very happy if I have the chance to see and talk to you in person. It doesn't have to send gifts to each other to become and pay a visit to friends. But if I am insisted in being asked for a small gift to me, I would like to have some local arts and crafts, which is good enough to me. Have a great day, friend.

Hello vanities, As a gift, I would love to have something unique and close to your culture where I can't find it here in my country. Any kind of souvenirs that show your culture and something different from what I can easily get from the shop or in my country will definitely excite me more...

Vanities..if you were coming to visit me or my country it would be nice to bring something that is representing your Country..I had a father in Law that was married to a Filipino and she made me a beautiful bedspread crocheted from white yarn like lace..I still have it and keep it protected for my daughter to have someday..it must have taken her along time cause its for a king size bed..Just like if i was coming to visit you i'd bring something from Texas
