I have been sending black bread and herring to Oxford for 30 years, the British loved our hotels.

When you go to visit, you always want to please a good and original gift. What do you do if you go abroad? What to bring from RussiaUkraine, CIS? What gift to please a foreigner?

Editorial "Site" He makes a small list of these things. And useful, and original, and interesting.

My favorite phrase in this case: “What to give a person who has everything?” But even if the opposite is true, it can be very difficult to understand what a foreigner will need and what will not.

However, the answer is often very simple if you think a little bit about our cultural heritage. Such a gift is not only useful, but also in memory for a long time.

Food

The best national flavor conveys traditional cuisine. The loaf will be difficult to drive. It's pretty bulky. Borscht is better done on the spot. But our carrots would be interesting to try any foreigner. They usually eat gingerbread there, but they hardly ever saw our honey.

Wooden dishes

I am sure one hundred percent that if you give a foreigner a set of dishes painted under the crest, there will be no limit to her delight. I don't care if she puts it in a prominent place. After all, it is really original and very stylish thing as a decor item, and in everyday use. I used to have such a spoon. She served our family for an impossible amount of time. I was born, we already had it. It's still intact.

Ushanka

What other wardrobe item is so strongly associated with us? Ever since the days of terribly pathetic militants, in which evil Russians plot against the whole world. Since then, everyone knows: Ushanka is a very Russian wardrobe item. After such a gift, you will be remembered many times. The climate is changing, snow and frost are now frequent all over the world. Because the chances that Ushanka will be useful, grow day by day.

Box

Any fashionista could use it. And the skill of our craftsmen is famous all over the world. This gift will be the decoration of any bedside table. You can also pick up a box with a secret: a double bottom or a special department. Such a gift would surprise you.

Handkerchief

At first I thought it wasn't a particularly original gift. But then it turned out that in Europe and America, the fashion for them is so rampant that even progressive young guys wear them.
