[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an European living in California for 3 years now... please don t bother bringing american candy to Europe, or chocolate... we hate it... i really can 't stand any of the reese's, or any american chocolate, we generally dislike peanut butter, oreos are gross, tootsie rolls awful... unless someone ask for them, don't bother. Europeans also don't like boxed cake mixes, we find the gross, as we do everything from scratch. Chocolate covered macadamia nuts yes, but good quality ones. My sister also loves the marshmallow fluff, and all the fun marshmallows, if they are special edition , colors, etc. Any cupcake decorations would be a hit, as we don't find as many in Europe, so if your friends like to cook they would love that. Good ideas: Electronics are a good idea, Apple products, ipods, ipads, iphones, and accessories are also appreciated. Kindle. Jewelry is much cheaper in US as well, like silver or diamonds. American brand cosmetics like Estee Lauder, MAC, Bobbi Brown or Clinique. Things from JCrew . Cookie cutters in various interesting shapes. Essie OPI nail polish. FRESH perfumes and lotions. Living Proof hair products. Blue Bottle coffee. I once brought my sister a big box of Sprinkles cupcakes. Hot mexican sauces. baseball caps. trucker caps. Video games. Sets of DVD's like "Friends" or National Geographic. Martha Stewart crafts supplies, or kitchen gadgets. Nice measuring cups and spoons. I take back home big bottles of Omega-3 pills for my parents, much cheaper in US. Laptops, tablets. Anything from Shopbop.com ... they deliver for free in Europe, and this is how I send gifts to friends and family. Things from Anthropologie. Spanx. (lol) Rebeca Minkoff , Michael Kors bags, walets, belts etc. Classic american old movies. KitchenAid stuff. [/quote]

One of those people who comes to the USA and whinges all the time about how their country is better while living in ours. *yawn* Obviously overly concerned with name brands and not thoughtfulness.
