I'm flying over to Ukraine to run a kids camp and I'll be staying with a host family for a week. What are your ideas for a cool, inexpensive, uniquely American gift to bring for them?

Get something that shows where youre from - not the USA in general - but your area. I always gave host families post cards from my state, I found a neat etched crystal block with a state flower, anything that would remind someone of you, and where youre from!

I was in Germany last year and gave my host family Heinz ketchup. They LOVED it because it's their favorite and is extremely expensive over there. They would probably never buy it on their own. It's like someone giving you a $100 bottle of wine.

baseball caps, T-shirts with cool logos, some typically American food like peanut butter, maybe scotch or whiskey (don't buy expensive one!).
Yes, they have all this in Ukraine at almost every store (except for peanut butter, maybe) but it's your attention that matters.

$ that has $100 US in value.
Money is always a great gift.
