What to bring as a gift to my host family in Germany?

Q. I will be participating in a student exchange program, and I need to bring gifts for my host family in Germany. My host family consists of a 16 year old girl, 6 year old boy, and their mother and father. I live in Indiana, and so far they have requested that I bring peanut butter, a picture book of the US or Indiana, and clothes (of American football and Indy 500 logos.). Do you have any other ideas of stuff that I can bring as gifts?

A. Definitely bring American things. They are participating in this exchange program because they want to learn more about your culture.

Their suggestions are a good start for culturally U.S. things. You might also look for puzzles that relate to the U.S. (map style, or photos of landmarks). You could bring a band t-shirt and CD for a band that's popular in your area. Candy is another thing that tends to be fairly region specific, so things like Sour Patch Kids and Swedish fish may be different than what they have there.


What to get a ten year old boy for Christmas?
Q. I'm looking for gift ideas for my ten year old nephew. He is mostly interested in video games, but I'd rather not get him another game. He doesn't like sports, but he seems to have some interest in science. He also really likes technology, such as cell phones, computers, etc.

Every year, when I ask his parents what to get him, they tell me the name of a specific video game or request a gift card for a video game. I'd really like to find something a little more original, that would still be fun. Any ideas?

A. amazon has some really cool basic robotics kits for his age group. I was just looking at them and you can get some nifty sets for under $50 and free amazon shipping.
