Gifts for Lithuania

The right thing to do while visiting another culture is to bring little gifts from one's "home" culture. As I am a poor college student, I can't afford any fancy gifts for my European roommates, hosts, friends, etc. I would love to be able to give people dvds, cds, cakes, Coca Cola, etc and other products from the United States. I need something unique, something useful, and something that would allow them to remember me for months to come. I'm still brainstorming...

This is a little 2 0.z. bottle of Dr. Bronner's magic tea tree soap. I am a fan of Dr. Bronners and their products. They strive to take care of the environment and promote hemp use in everyday products. They have 6 flavors to chose from, which include, almond, baby-mild, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, and tea-tree. Each bottle costs $2.50, with free shipping with orders over $20.

What do you think? What should I take to Europe?

Take food, like non-perishables... or soap, ya tree-hugging hippie.

and LOTS of pictures. They're great for when you have nothing else to talk about (or can't really communicate linguistically)

Canned soup?

I was thinking more like nuts and mixes. Cans might be too heavy. Candy :-) I don't know what you can and can't get there, but peanut butter chocolate candies were much loved around Valentines Day in Руссия

Take a walk through Walmart or Meijer and see what catches your eye (or the $1 section of Target). I really like the idea that you have, though...
