Hi Guys,

I`m going to SF a few days later, and going to visit some of my friends here. So I would like to bring them something for a small gift. Do you guys know what kind of things that the American like very much, especially Chinese goods? I come from China ^_^

Thanks folks

Are your friends Chinese? Are you buying something in China and taking it to San Francisco? I don't think it's mooncake season or I would suggest that. Maybe some tea would be nice.

Thanks for you suggestion!

Some are Chinese, some are Taiwanese, and some other are native American, I will bring some Red Tea to my Great China friends, but I`m not sure my native American friends would like it~

Your friends can at least try it. Or just bring some regular jasmine tea or Oolong tea. Oolong is more like the black tea they might be used to.

BTW, when you say native American, I think you mean "white", Caucasian American, but here native American means someone whose family was here *before* the white people. We used to call them Indian American.

Tea is a good idea. Also, fabric items (silk for example) in Chinese style for wall or table decoration. I would avoid things with designer names on them (Gucci, Hermes).
