I thought something Amish might work well, but much of what I've found that's Amish actually comes from Indiana (go figure).

What is something that you would consider unique to North Eastern Pennsylvania? (and be nice, a lump of coal isn't really an option )
Is it possible to wrap up and package corruption, and nepotism?...That would be a pretty acurate representation of the area if you can find a way to put it in a box.

Mark-in-Nanticoke, while there are indeed Amish in Pennsylvania, we can't lay exclusive claim to that group...There are pockets of Amish in Indiana, and Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and in places where there was good farmland removed from cities... That they have hung on to their simple way of life is a tribute to the strength of their beliefs.

Please let us know what gift you decide on for your Secret Santa recipient.

I was going to post the exact same thought.
