Simple Things

Hello everyone. My question is similar to one posted by JordonXXX. I will be returning to Colombia in September, and want to bring some simple gifts for my friends. What are some simple things that I can bring that are not availible or that might be difficult to get in Colombia. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

Where from? 1) It would help us to know what country/region you will be travelling from.

2) More about your friends. I'd take my elderly great aunt something quite different from what I'd take my spoiled, bratty 13 yo cousin.

Also: not to pick on you, but this gets discussed in great detail every now and then, if this thread runs short of your expectations, do search.

Thanks Adrimm... I will be traveling from the states. TX & LA to be exact. My friends are mostly the female ones, including her parents and little brothers and sisters.

A Dancing and Singing Chicken Go to your local Eckerd Drug Store and check out their stuffed animals that sing and dance when you push a button on them. I have been taking these down to Colombia for years and the chicas love them. The most popular is a chicken that dances and sings "lets do the chicken dance" Makes no difference how many I take, I never have enough. All the chicas want one from me. No one ever believes me on this until they have seen the reaction one of these will cause in Colombia. So just buy one and take it with you. You will wish that you had taken a suitcase full of them. :-)
