Anything that is native to where you live will have a cachet to it. However, one dear friend in London begs me to bring her the newest US cleaning supplies! She lived here for a few years and got used to all the fancy products, then went back to Britain and had to wait years for them to be introduced there. Same experience with disposable diapers (this was about 20 years ago.) If I were visiting her today I'd probably bring a Swiffer. I wouldn't suggest cleaning supplies as a gift for strangers, though. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
