Help! Gift ideas FAST!?

Question

A Japanese exhange student is visiting her host family this week & I invited her over for dinner (we were friends). What should I get her to welcome her back for her short stay? I have a tight budget and not alot of time to shop!!! She's coming in 2 hrs!

Is a card good? What else?? Thnx.

Answer 1

cards are always good. & if you are making dinner then it should be a gift just to see you. & if you feel like u need to get her something else then you can never go wrong with a necklace or bracelet. Even a little money wouldnt hurt if you wanted to give her something & then she could get whatever she wanted.

Answer 2

Buy her a pretty frame and while she's at your house have someone take pictures of the 2 of you then pick the best one and either print it or take it to a picture maker machine and get it printed.

Answer 3

Local sweets, in a pencil bag/case if you can find a cute one?

Oh, and don't wrap it in white - it's a funeral color. You probably knew that, right? And 4 of anything is considered unlucky.

Answer 4

You don't have to give her a gift if you're giving her dinner, the meal is the gift!  A card would be okay, but still not necessary snce you're giving your time and effort in making the meal.
