What would be appropriate gifts that a college student who is going to study in Japan for a semester in Nagoya should bring with them
to give to hosts and peers for their hospitality?
She has received such gifts from other foreign exchange students as have I when they have visited my home. What says American that is classy, acceptable, easy to pack and preferably not made in China.

That can be a very difficult question to answer!
My first suggestion would be to look for something unique to her hometown city or state.
Things like sweets or candies that are unique to that area would be highest on the list, but they can be a pain to travel with depending on the item.
Or any type of local hand-made crafts.
Something from a local sports team is also good: keychains, hats, pens, etc.
T-shirts too, but may be hard to get the right size.
When I first came to Japan, my gift for my future father in law was a set of golf balls. So if they play golf, that is an excellent item. (He later brought the half empty box back to show me he had used them.. and sunk most into the water trap)
If I think of anything else, I will post them in the comments.

Thanks, I guess we have been on the correct trail. The difficult part is that we are from Illinois, NOT Chicago. It is hard to pack corn or soybeans. Though we are from a college town so maybe....
thanks again
thanks again
