Question

So they will only have there suite case and carry on bag. I want to do something special....it's going to be on April 26th so I also don't have a lot of time....What should we get them??? From us that lets them know....we will miss them and love them....that can be carried back to germany without being too heavy or big....???? Help....

Answer 1

Take a picture of everyone attending the party. Have them all sign the back and say their goodbyes. Then you can mail it to them, or frame it and ship it!

Answer 2

a special nic-nak that means something to you or them.

a keepsake with special names wrote on it

pictures

something you or he made

cloths

hats

hope it goes great

good luck.

Answer 3

It would be very nice if you can have a card

written with all the love you feel from them

and how much they will be missed by you.

If your situation allows, how about a flight ticket

from German to wherever you are dated a year

from now? So they can come back to visit you.

If it is too much, a photo of your ex and you and

them in a beautiful frame will also be a wonderful

gift for memory.

Answer 4

Get a beautifully framed photograph of their son. It's something that you both loved and would have a lot of meaning. Hopefully it would be small enough too to fit in a suitcase.

Answer 5

you are amazing.  the spirit of your gesture is very touching.  you must be very strong and a great resource to the people around you.

since they don't have much room, maybe you should think about getting together with your friends and making a donation in his name; perhaps some piece of him that they would know would be left in America.  a donation to an appropriate charity, or maybe get a park bench or a tree in his name or his family name.  a plaque, a garden, a mural.  if they knew that their son had left a permanent mark on the place where they raised him, I'm sure it would mean a lot to them.

Answer 6

Maybe Do A Big Photo Frame Full Of Pictures?

Or Maybe Do A Scrap Book Of Pictures Of Them, Yourself, Your Ex, The Rest Of The Family Etc Etc, And Under The Photos Write Small Captions Then At Either The Front Or Back Write A Message To Them, Something Personal.

Gifts Dont Have To Be Expensive Or Flashy To Mean A Lot :)

Answer 7

If you have pictures of their son, than something like a scrap book would be great. Doesn't take but a couple of hours.

If you don't have pictures than something like shirts with his name put on it reading like RIP (his name) and dates. and in German would be great.

Hope this helps a little.

Answer 8

try to look if there is a close location to you
