What are some good items to have sent to me from Germany?

Question

A friend of mine lives there and wants to send something to me, but I don't know what to ask for.

Answer 1

Chocolate is good (if you're into that kind of thing), my personal favorite from Germany is Bahlsen cakes.  They're wrapped in blue wrappers.  Best ever.

Answer 2

hmmmm 10euros, thats 2 boxes : - ask for ferrero "Küsschen" ("kisses", Ferrero is the brand), i know you have those "golden balls" in the us, but not the "küßchen", its candy, chocolate with a hazelnut inside and a cream, a kind of like nutella, my relatives in the us LOVE it!!! me too   mjam!!

Answer 3

cuckoo clock

Answer 4

kinderschokolade(mmmh milk creme inside) and the 100 varieties of milka chocolate,absinthe

Answer 5

Right now is Christmas time. They have good cookies and cakes. Germans has also good shoes. Nice book about Germany.

Answer 6

Hey Destiny,

for under 10 USD.

Nuernberger Lebkuchen

Achener Printen

Stollen

from the others and my sugeggestion is

Lübecker Marzipan

and as I see here german chocolate should be much more better than US.

Remind a upto 2kg package from Germany to US costs at DHL 12.90 EUR that is about 19 USD. Sorry no UPS offers no practical service for privates.

Greetings from Hamburg, Germany

Answer 7

cuckoo clocks? She be annoyed by nexy year and hat e germany, get the Chocolate, candy, stuff like that, you cant beat the Chocolate over there. but if you want something under ten bucks, then dont worry bout it, cuz shipping is gonna be more expensive and with christmas right now you might get lucky and get it by V-day. depending on where you live, find a German store and but it yourself there. Merry Christmas - Frohe Weihnachten

Answer 8

Nuremberg Lebkuchens ("Nürnberger Lebkuchen") are very expensive indeed, wherby it's not the Lebkuchens, but the shipping costs that make them so expensive.

Maybe the best idea, if you want to keep it cheap, would be to ask for a CD with German christmas songs. You'll know the tunes; I mean "Silent Night, Holy Night" and "Oh Tannenbaum", that's the same in every language. But I think you will find it interesting to hear all the songs you know sung in German. And, yes, there will be a German version of "Jingle Bells", too.

Answer 9

cuckoo clocks are more swiss than german.  What you should have sent is Libecochen (A famous german cookie) and a stein (beer mug).  These are quintessentially German.

Answer 12

Steins and cuckoo clocks (esp from the Black Forest) are popular collectors items. Oh and for this time of year, ask them to send you back the toy soldier nutcrackers.

Answer 13

You could ask for the famous Nuernberger Lebkuchen (cookies), a poster from Neuschwanstein Castle, chocolate, a German recipe book, etc.
