That is so sweet you are bringing them gifts. </p> <p>I think obviously some foreign sweets would be lots of fun! Maybe just something small though. </p> <p>You could maybe get the boy a small wooden puzzle or toy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-host-parents-and-kids#post-897439 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 06:33:55 +0000 lilyb 897439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey there Mums (&amp;dads?)<br /> Basically I'll be an au pair in the US, starting August 5, and I was wondering what kind of gifts Americans in general would like from Europe or especially Germany and what I could give to a five-year-old boy and two 11-year-old female twins. What I know about the boy is that he likes puzzles and the family in general likes to do outdoor activities. Apparently, the girls are quite girly and I'll get them nail polish and some other stuff I'd have liked when I was 11.<br /> I'm soo looking forward to reading your ideas- thank you!<br /> Lily from Germany </p>
