What about some of her favorite foods that she won't be able to eat/buy over there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-moving-to-africa#post-847802 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:41:12 +0000 regberadaisy 847802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: how much are you looking to spend?

Is that an option?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-moving-to-africa#post-847756 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:31:54 +0000 CarrieLouWho 847756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need some creative ideas for what to get my best friend. She works in health education and just got back from South Sudan after a 5 month stay. She will likely be going back there or somewhere else in Africa later this summer for an extended stay (2-3 years). </p> <p>Her 30th birthday happened while she was gone. I want to get her something meaningful, but at the same time, I'm trying to think of something practical that she could use while she's there. </p> <p>Any ideas??? I'm at a total loss! </p>
