So beer is a bad idea, what;s a good gift for someone in Germany? |
Travel Info I'm in Texas, what would be a good gift from my region for someone who lives in Germany? Travel Tips I send chocolates. Funny as it seems to send chocolates over there but my family is CRAZY over the caramel cups (look like peanut butter cups but under Sam's Club name) that you can get at Wal-Mart. They are in a blue ziplock bag. They are crazy for these. I have to send them all year and for all holidays, birthdays, etc. I just sent a huge pile for Christmas. Also, Germans like honey, jam, etc. for breakfast so that might work. They might also like barbecue sauce or maybe a can of chili. It is illegal to mail beer so good you did not do it. Oh! Maybe get girl scout cookies. I think it will be time for that soon. My family loves those too. You could always get a gift certificate for amazon.com.de too. http://www.amazon.de/gp/gc/splash.html/r... A gift certificate might be better because you can spend more since you save on the postage. Here is a translastion link for Amazon if you need it. http://world.altavista.com/ Others I don't understand the first part of your question. Beer is bad? Why not a cowboy hat? They will probably get you lederhosen. What is bad about beer when you are buying for somebody in Germany??? But there may be restrictions on what you can send anyway. The movie "Animal House" might be an outstanding idea for someone overseas, and it is a classic. Otherwise, it depends more on the person, not what country they are in. More beer. Cowboy boots Sure, the best beer is German beer. :) You don't have to send american beer, that's available in Germany. Be careful with movies - DVDs have a regional code and can't be played in a German DVD player, videos are definetly nor working either, the speed of recording and watching is different. A nice idea would probably be a cowboy hat. Or maybe a Tshirt with Texas printed on it. Depending on who you are giving that gift to consider a book about texas, maybe from the city you live in. Is there anything typical for your region? That always makes good gift. Any sport goods from NFL, NBA... are good gifts too. Check out if your friend likes Western movies, or American sports like football, or your sort of music or so. Dallas Mavericks are somewhat popular in Germany since Dirk Nowitzki plays there. Or hey, if you're a true Texan, simply bring some barrels of crude oil :) |
