Things you can get here, but not in Moscow?

**kristakanary** · 08-23-2007, 01:27 PM

Hi everyone... I don't speak Russian. Sorry for that. I had a question and figured this was a good place to ask

.
My boyfriend's mom and sister are coming to the U.S. to visit and I wanted to put some gifts together for them as a warm welcome. The bf is of no help and says that they can probably get whatever they want there lol. But... there must be some things. Any ideas are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Haha I hope you didn't think I'm implying that the US is more up to date or something. Because I def believe it's the opposite regarding the consumer's market. And yea... I dunno how many times I've heard how great the Moscow McDonalds is lol.

One cannot compare us to former USSR, this would be like comparing an apple and an orange; but they do have all consumables that we have. (Not that they can afford them as easily as we can, but they do have them available.)

Flowers would be a good idea.

I think poor girl has no idea what she is getting herself into. IT sounds like they live together (her and the boyfriend) and soon: here we come, mother and sister. That should be “fun.”

give them whatever you would give anybody else. they are not so different just because they are from moscow.
