grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 People back home always seem to like things like traditional cups, trays etc. Not omiyage style ones of course. So if it was England, something like Wedgewood or some bone china or whatever. Just take care with presentation. Japanese love things being well presented and receiving something in a crumpled bag just seems a bit strange culturally. Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 We did use to call skis "boards" back in the day..... when snowboards were nothing but a glint in the bloodshot eye of some stoner designer. Link to post Share on other sites
