Everybody loves Krispy Kremes, and they don't have them in Europe. Of course they are the best when they are warm, yum.

More Ideas for the foodie: Salsa, a string of dried chilies, See's Chocolate (the best IMHO), Mexican/Southwestern foods and spices, Pluots(a cross between apricot and plum)from California, Maytag Blue Cheese.

Even more: a pair of Levi Jeans, Sweatshirts from Universities (like your local college/University),mementos from local museums, some seeds from your local nursery, and local wines/coffees/spices/specialties. Rocks, sticks, and dirt can be very interesting for a gardener as well.

The minute I send this I will have brilliant ideas, doesn't it always happen this way?
