Hello Everybody,
my wife will be going back to Russia at the end of September and i need some GOOD ideas on presents for people there.
She has a big list of relatives and friends so I am looking for nice but semi-cheap presents

I will be getting led flashlights for the some of the guys because the batterys last so long and they enjoyed them a lot.Alcohol too for some people.
I am looking for other types of things.
If your spouses went back there , what things did they really seem like they enjoyed?
Any ideas would be helpful especially for like grandmothers.
What do you get someone that old?That they would like to have?
Having a hard time thinking what to get them.
Anyway I would appreciate any ideas.
I will be shopping later today for these types of gifts with the wife so it would be nice to hear some fresh ideas before we go,
Thanks Jerry

On my last visit to Russia I brought along a couple of packages of Zip-Lock bags in Quart and Gallon sizes. It turned out that these aren't available (at least in Novosibirsk) and were very well received as gifts.

Thanks , Mmccloud
Good idea, light and easy to carry.
Also practical.
I`ll ask my wife what she thinks.
