what to send?
15 / female / Pennsylvania (if that helps with the things-to-put-in-the-box thing)
Hi, I have a penpal from France. We have been sending letters back and forth, and now I want to send a shoebox of American things.
But what kind of things should I put in it?
So far I have:
American Dollar/quarter/etc.
A magazine
Photos
Yeah, that's it. Pretty sad, I know, but I'm clueless. If you could help me think of ideas, that would be great. And I would like it if the objects would have purpose (not like a pack of stickers or stuffed animals).
Thanks a lot!!

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
I know the kinds of things you are wanting. I think. :)
I can't think of to many but I think a TV guide would be kind of cool. TV shows are different here.
Maybe your hometown newspaper.
You could have her look at the TV guide and send her a video tape of some of the shows she thinks looks interesting.
Not much but could be of help I guess. I sound a little obsessed with TV. :) Oh well!

*american candy
*a CD from a band you like
*something from a store they don't have in France (forever 21, american eagle....)
*A t shirt that says a place in the U.S. on it.
eh sorry that's the best I can do when I'm so tired!

Hi, maybe send him/her a mini statue of liberty or empire state building. A model or something like a cap with USA on it is good. Daniel.

pack in a copy of your favorite CD, put in some candy (everyone loves candy) a poster from a popular tv show in america. Things that you can't just find in a history book but things that you like and things that you think represent the U.S.A.
You can also put in a poster of your favorite actor and/or actress and kinda tell her why you packed each thing. that way they learn stuff about you and also see how we live in america. you could also pack in like a roster of your classes to show how different the school systmes are. you can even include some of the letters they send home for dances and fundraisers because the schools there are SO different.
If you're into theater you can also put in a poster of a musical or play that you really like, or one that is really popular right now.
Hope I helped and hope you find some great things that your penpal will enjoy!

if you ever go to NY, get one of those "i love ny" tshirts for like 3 bucks. postcards are good, maybe a magazine (depends on if your penpal is a boy or girl) if its a girl you guys can like send one back and forth saying whats hott in each place and what's not. <3

how about pop rocks? or a CD of your favoritte songs

have you ever been in one of those giftshops that has a bunch of small trinkets and whatnot displaying their patriotism and love for their own state? maybe you could get her a few things from there. maybe even a few postcards of major landmarks(such as mount rushmore or the statue of liberty). these stores can be found especially near train stations and airports in major cities. this maybe harder or easier to do depending on what part of pennsylvania you live in. maybe you could even get one of those minnature american flags u hang up on your car window. or maybe one of those i<3nyc hats or something(i know you dont actually live in new york, but those can actually be found almost anywhere)i hope i helped. =]
