What vegetables can you bring to Canada?

Gift's to bring to Russia from Canada

  • Anyone have any idea's of things to bring as gifts to Russia from Canada? We are leaving in 2 weeks and haven't picked up anything yet. I am thinking of bring mapel syrup and smoked salmon for the family we are staying with but I also wanted to bring something for the teenage daughter and 10 year old son. I also want to bring small gifts to some of our other friends. Thank you

  • Answer:

    Unless the family you are visiting is well-off, you may want to stick to basic stuff. Some things we take for granted here are of poor quality or are expensive in Russia. I have family in Russia. This year I bring coffee, chocolate, perfume & make-up, jeans, shoes and even razor blades & batteries (for some reasons, our razor blades and batteries last much longer than theirs!!). Also don't forget a bottle of quality liquor for men (cognac for instance). For children, basic stuff would also do. For instance, a set of color pencils would make a great gift for a younger child. Teenagers would love some light electronics such as an iPOD (assuming they have internet at home, which is not certain), a digital camera or a watch.

I don't know which part of Russia you're going to but Russians doing really eat mapel syrup and smoke salmon is not a rarity (depends on where you're staying of course). In fact in the easter part of Russia fish products, smoken salmon, caviar and etc, are very very cheap and everyone has them. I'd bring something Canadian, not food, god knows Russia has plenty of food assortment Russian and European alike. Maybe for the teen girl you can get her something from Victorias Secret, they have cute lip glosses and perfumes. As for the rest, all i can think of is something with Canadian Flag, memorabilia type of thing. Hope this helps.
