<p>Thank you for the ideas! Chocolates seems so difficult to transport during summer but we’ll think about that. We haven’t bought gifts for my son’s host family yet since he won’t leave until August. My daughter leaves sooner. She will be staying with a host family in China this summer. She anticipates having a host sister. Do you think earrings or a necklace would be okay as a gift? She was thinking about bringing brownie mix and goldfish crackers, possibly small decorative bottles of U.S. “celebrity” perfume. What do you think?</p>
