What gifts should I bring to Hungary and Romania?

I'm visiting family and friends in Budapest and Transylvania this summer and I wanted to bring some nice gifts for them. I live in Los Angeles, and I'd like to bring them something they can't easily get in Eastern Europe. Any ideas?

What gifts should I bring to Hungary and Romania?
It's a difficult question as one can buy everything in both countries... If I had a visitor from the U.S., I think I'd be happy to get DVDs and books (for some reason even if a popular TV series has been shown in Hungary it takes ages for the DVD to come out if at all...), but of course if your family/friends can't speak English, it's not an option. You know these people (don't you?), so you might have an idea about their hobbies and interests? Also, only you know what you can afford!





Some years ago when I visited a friend in Scotland I had the same problem: what can I bring her as a present which she can't get there? My mum suggested a shop selling all kinds of really beautiful old-fashioned cushions - so I went there and saw a nice bolster with ladies in a row in 18th century clothes and funny wigs. I just loved it so I bought it and my friend was really happy with it. Later, I bought one for myself! But it was half inspiration, half chance, I think.





Well, anyway, I hope you can think of something. Maybe you could ask a family member you'll be visiting to give you a tip?

Reply:In Hungary the prices for games and DvD's are higher than in the states. The little ones in my family went crazy when I brought a Xbox 360 from the states, I bought a load of games too as those cost 75 euros or over a 1000 forint. For Older people depending on who, I suggest kithchen appliances and cutlery or dishware. Keep in mind, newer electronics cost more, so I suggest electronics.
