Hi,

I'm going to stay with a uni friend and her family in North Cyprus soon and need some ideas of a suitable gift to give her mother when I arrive. This family are not very religious at all (not sure if that makes any difference!)
Im then going to Istanbul to stay with a another girl I know and her family but I get the impression that they are a bit more strict so maybe a different kind of present would be better....I would ask the 2 girls but I kind of want it to be a surprise so don want to ask them

So, any ideas please?
thanks

My advice is always to take something not too extravagant, but something thoughtful. Something unique to your country perhaps.

hahaha unique to england though? we have no culture here, and any that one might find, is probably not worth being proud of

I appreciate those ideas thank you, but I do not appreciate being called a "silly girl".

I can have my opinion, and compared to other countries culture, I think mine is poor.

Jesus, ok maybe I was a bit too harsh with what I said, yes a lot of history blah blah blah but I, personally, don't feel like england has much of a culture anymore. I dont know how old you are,maybe you are older than me and thus have a different opinion because of that.
