Rcsingle1, it is not my intent to destroy your thread but to make it easier to use, because I am inherently lazy. I thought it would be helpful to have a central list of good things to take as gifts to our ladies, their families and friends from America.
If I did not include some of your ideas it is because I am not sure and thought it was specific to an individual. I tried to list the contributor for each item by tabbing the fields but it was all messed up when it was on the site. Sorry guys. If I forgot something or you have recently found a great idea then post it and I will add it.
