Well...there's always Devra's wonderful assortment of books....If you
like beads, a couple of merchants sell some wonderful beads (I have a
bead that I purchased several years back that was made from a glass rod
found when a glassworks in Murano was uncovered). Another possibility
would be jewelry...lots of merchants have wonderful amber and other
sorts of jewelry. There's a lady who sells stuffed animals that she
makes...we have a wonderful falcon from her shop. And, if they can keep
the milk in a cooler with ice, having purchased it just before they
leave, it should be ok when they get home. A Pennsic 35 t-shirt would
be nice. I have one from just about every war since I started attending
many, many years back.
Can't think of anything else off of the top of my head...but that gives
you a start!
