[quote=Anonymous]OP, that’s tough. I’m one of the people who said it depends on where you’re going. People will definitely have high expectations!

For kids I like something they can’t grow out of and can use daily- like the hats you suggested or fancy school supplies that they can show off at school. For teens, name brand shirts and stuff is tough because in some circles they have access to Nike, Adidas, whatever, and in other places it might look the same as knockoffs or not be the right fashion for their friend group. But if you know that would be appreciated I would get a stack of Nike dri-fit tees with whatever cool local sports teams’ logos you can find in a bigger size than is needed. For teen girls I would be splurgy and get them name-brand makeup palettes unless their family is crazy strict, or get fan t-shirts on Etsy if they are into American music. My relatives who are younger also love vinyl stickers with really specific local stuff. For little girls I would probably get crazy keychains and hair baubles at Claire’s- I know it’s imported crap but that’s all my DD wants from her relatives abroad. They would pack small and light. I like big packages of fancy chocolates that people can put out for guests later and show off. [/quote]
