I am looking for a couple gift ideas, something that cannot be purchased in Thai or is harder to get there. Nothing too expensive, maybe $25 each give or take. One is for a Thai couple or should something be brought seperate for each (mid- 30's in age), the second is for a single woman (friend nothing more) in her early 40's. I am in the States and would like to give something that has a little thought and meaning behind it. I just am not sure what is appropriate or what Thai's desire from here. I figure women know best about gift giving and most of those here have some knowledge of thai's. I cannot bring any more alcohol (2 bottles of wine already), 3- things of perfume for a couple people closer to me, 2- of scented bath salts and all my personal grooming items. I have about two weeks before I leave, I will be in the Colorado area. I also do not want to mess with clothes (too personal in the case of the couple and do not want to deal with sizing issues). I was thinking something like a precious moments or other collectable figureine (just a thought, but what about him). I will entertain any serious thoughts, hello kitty is not going to cut it, haha. Thank you Ladies!

Thai couple one gift is perfectly fine, something unique to where you are coming from perhaps? Some kind of food or candy is good. (real maple syrup?)

For the woman, scented bath salts are only nice if she has a bath! Perhaps a pretty souvenir from Colorado, something aspen related? Decor related stuff is ok. I know the people I bring gifts back for quite well, so its always easy to find something they like, buying for people you don't know so well is tougher.
