    If the kids are boys a better choice in t-shirts would be OP, Quicksilver and Billabong.

    These kids have no buisiness wearing those brands unless they actually own a surfboard. I suggest that you head on up to Zuma Jay's in Malibu and pick up a several to take with you on your trip. If you need a bagage boy to go with you on your trip to Russia to help with all your things I am available (cheap) since my other gig fell through (Pravit). I also make a good travel companion on long flights, when heavily sedated.

    Hmmm, no waves on the Moscow River, but a lot of wind surfers on the resevoirs about 1/2 hour above the city. Also lots of snow boarders in Moscow. They seem to wear the same styles as the surfers.

    Why not get them some type of plain or carved (but not painted) box. It's a universal gift. I'd want this one http://www.worldofboxes.com/unfinished/ ... m?group=25

    ps. I get pretty insulted when people bring my children clothes. They usually have pretty terrible taste. Then I'm stuck washing the crap that the kids don't even like to wear. It then gets thrown away. Clothes are a bit personal. Just my opinion.

    Not really a typical American culture item.

    She could ask before she goes what "they" would like of America? It's funner to get what you really want.

    My husband and some of his friends are avid coin collectors so I always bring home the latest issue quarters. But for noncollectors they are just quarters and nothing special.

    I don't collect, but I still trip when I get out of country money. Though, there's only a handful I give a flip about.
