It's likely that little brothers will collect foriegn coins and stamps, fishing kit for both boys and dads, those pocket knives with all the gadgets are all the rage now.

But it was the kite I brought for my wifes god-daughter that was the biggest hit.

With the state info on the backs.  They see alot of dollars, but I seriously doubt if they get to see many coins...  

Why not go to a hobby store and buy a coin collector book for storing these quarters?

This would be the kind of gift that sticks around, as they'll treasure this gift...litterly.

You could take them some of the more unusual American money that people rarely see.  Like $2 bills, silver certificate bills, buffalo nickels, wheat pennies, bicentennial quarters, silver dollars, or confederate money.

The Barbie dolls in Ukraine were not original and I brought a couple of the real ones to my fiancee's daughter.  She was a bit hit around her friends as they all came over to her house to see them and for weeks she took them outside to play with.

Scooby Do won out on that decisions ($20ea) verse the Swan Lake Barbie ($45ea)... but if were buying for one special girl, I would have gotten that one.... check out the direction of her toes.

The women just go CRAZY for stuffed animals..  My girl wouldn't put hers down the WHOLE day...  Easy to pack, especially the Beanie Babies or TY ones that are a little larger.

Scooby-Do stuffed animals at Wal-Mart, (push button in the dog right ear that) sez the "I love you", "your my best friend", "Give me a hug", etc. $20

I had to buy 2 one for the little boy and girl, didn't want to hear about the fight for the critter.

It was either this or the big talking SpongeBob.

On Febuary 15th everystore in town will put there stuffed teddy bears on sale, along with the chocolates.

What's a lady going to think if all the other guys are sending her letters and you send her a teddy bear w/letter.
