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.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I would have to say collectable coins or stamps. They are valuable, classy, uniquely American and they travel well

American Chocolates

Japanese love American Candy because it is hard to get in Japan.

To be honest that is no easy task. Many american products are assemble to about 90% and then shipped to chins for the last 10% and then shipped back here.

So many products are American made, but that last bit alows it to have the made in china logo. It's one way companies save money.

But here are some suggestions.

1.Make your host something frm scratch. Something from the heart that represents the many sides of american culture. Doing this shows how you appreciate what she is doing for you, and it also shows your creative ability.

2. Clothes made from an american company. Examples would be Abercrombie and Fitch, Sierra Trading Post, and GAP. Fashion and class.

3. Buy her products by Native Americans.

4. Make her a gift basket with a mix from those.

I have included a few site to help you with choose what you want to do.

well there are a few things in the US of A that would go down well but I do have to say something they haven't got from their native land (Japan) is pretty cool aswell, here are my ideas:

1) Dinner tie napkins, here me out this is funny and will definately bring a smile to a few faces, it costs $5.95 and it was featured on the Today Show:

2) From Japan, this Liquid Bookmark (for books) has proven to be very popular. Each bookmark is hand poured in silicon to give that unique look thats a one-off gift (£23.41): http://www.ticatoca.com/view.php?product=35

hope this helps, visit www.ticatoca.com for some more ideas from the good ole US of A
