Gifts for Sister Abroad

I'm sure it's just me, but why do they require gifts? I'm not a fan of this relentless need for STUFF. What they will have missed most is their family and friends. Have a party, serve some of the above mentioned American food, sing sorority songs and reconnect.

Great post.

DubaiSis - We actually are having a welcome back dinner, so the idea is not that they have to have a lot of STUFF, but just one meaningful gift to show how much we missed them.

As to all who suggested food items specific to the U.S. - I guess I should have mentioned that most of our “abroad” girls are actually interning in other parts of the U.S., though we do have a few who are actually out of the country! I will definitely keep those suggestions in mind though

Thanks again for your input, ladies, I really appreciate it!
