<p>We host exchange students often, and our kids do exchanges. The best gift I have received was a cooking apron from France - decorated with baguettes, etc. I use it every day and think of the young man from Norway who gave it to me (he had just visited Paris before he came to us and bought the gift at the last minute!) We’ve also received stained glass Maple leaves (from Canada), pottery (from India), wine (from Italy), and wooden ■■■■■ dolls (from Norway) along with picture books. </p>
<p>My kids have taken calendars, hand decorated tea towels, homemade salsa (we’re from TX), and children’s books about Texas (for families that have kids).</p>
