Foreign Gift Exchange

[Synful*Luv]

Hi,

I would like a cool Xmas gift from a foreign country. Something I can't buy in the States, but something that won't be confiscated and not allowed through US customs either. I will send something back to the person in return. Either one large thing or a couple of small things.

How about a gift price range of $20-$50 USD or so?

Anyone down?

what "Mac" are you guys talking about?

Surely the only thing the world barely differs in is material items? Surely it would only be food items? Also I've heard that the USA have made it illegal to send chocolate to people in the USA from the rest of the world? Im pretty sure they were lying because that would sucks for you guys, European chocolate pwnz your American chocolate. I like Herseys and shit, but nothing beats real Cadburys, Galaxy & Thortons. Also Belgian chocolates are seriously dope. Also your selection of white chocolate real sucks, even the bars i could find sucked. But I love every other edible delicacies America has to offer. Man I dreaming of Krispy Kreme doughnuts right now. Drive-thru doughnut shops, amazing.

EDIT: I just discovered that there are loads of Krispy Kreme's in London and even Mili even has one near him

EDIT2: My brain can't work out if I worded the first sentence correctly.

I don't know, maybe there are cool hats there that we don't have here, lol. Or shirts or something. I'm not too much into chocolate, but I hear the same thing from a lot of ppl about American chocolate being really bad.

I like almost all of their lip products, especially the lip glass, and of course eye shadow and mascara. Do you have the "hook up" with them?

United States embargo against Cuba

Main article: United States embargo against Cuba

​

The cigar became inextricably intertwined with U.S. political history on February 7, 1962, when United States President John F. Kennedy imposed a trade embargo on Cuba to sanction Fidel Castro's communist government. According to Pierre Salinger, then Kennedy's press secretary, the president ordered him on the evening of February 6 to obtain a thousand H. Upmann brand petit corona Cuban cigars; upon Salinger's arrival with the cigars the following morning, Kennedy signed the executive order which put the embargo into effect.
The embargo prohibited US residents from legally purchasing what were considered the finest cigars on the market, and Cuba was deprived its major customer for tobacco.

In the United States, authentic Cuban-made cigars are widely considered to be "the best smoking experience" of all cigars and are seen as "forbidden fruit" for Americans to purchase. Many former Cuban cigar manufacturers moved to other countries, and the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua continue to manufacture cigars.

As of 2007 it remains illegal for US residents to purchase or import Cuban cigars, although they are readily available across the northern border in Canada, and small quantities can in practice be brought back without trouble from US Customs if the bands are removed prior to crossing. While Cuban cigars are smuggled into the USA and sold at high prices, counterfeiting is rife; it has been said that 95% of Cuban cigars sold in the USA are counterfeit. Although Cuban cigars cannot legally be imported into the USA, the advent of the Internet has made it much easier for people in the United States to purchase cigars online from other countries.
