Need ideas for gift for French host student? |
Travel Info I am going on a trip to France and will be staying with a host family for part of my visit. I need some gift ideas for my host student, a teenage girl. Any help ASAP would be appreciated! Travel Tips American clothes would be very much appreciated by a French teenager bc it's very hard to find American clothes in France and those which are available are very expensive. Many French ppl have only 1-2 sweaters so a sweater would be nice (and not too hard to fit). Other ideas: a windbreaker or sweatshirt with your favorite college or pro sports team. Maybe a San Antonio Spurs item-- even French ppl who don't follow NBA basketball know the Spurs bc of Tony Parker who is from France. Others Candy that is not available in France - I don't think they have Twix in France. We had an Austrian student stay with us and she adored Twix. You could always go for a sweatshirt with your states name on it, or professional sports team memorabilia. Even girls like cute sports t-shirts! Have fun in France! ok we do have twix! snickers mars etc etc What we don t have is oreos. When my aunt from georgia comes to france I always ask her to bring oreos! Maybe you should also think of her parents and ring them a bottle of californian wine (so they can compare it with french wines) try to get something typical from "your place". france is a develloped country - they do have twix ;-)) generally, people in france love to discover new things - and that's even more so for young people. so if your state or region has something really special (like food or cloths or whatever), it's likely to be appreciated. just one thing: in france, people tend to think they have a monopoly on good wine - so don't take any local wine ;-) enjoy your stay in france! Freaking weird, me too. Like, same EXACT situation. I'm leaving Monday, and I have no clue. I was thinking like beach-y stuff, because I live on the east coast, & near the ocean. Still can't decide though. Maybe a gift basket of some kind? Welll, if you get any good suggestions, email me because I need some too. In the same boat. (: haha. Bring her some clothes. In France, believe it or not, clothes are very expensive to buy there. Try buying her some nice t-shirts. :-) |
