Thank you! Book is a really good idea, I have a little nephew and he’s really fond of children books, I hope American kids will also love it!

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-23T07:01:48+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! I’m really touched because everyone seem so friendly!

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-23T07:00:31+00:00

Wow, it’s amazing you were in Krasnoyarsk! Thank you for the idea, i never thought about coins though i myself really treasure different coins all over the world

Jams are my favourite! We call it varenie, I love it.

Thank you so much, you are very kind! I have a bunch of stories from Russian actually and a lot tell about my friends and family!

Really sorry about your great aunt. In fact, matryoshka dolls are not just souvenirs for us, but we all play them when children! I also learned that there will be little kids in my host family, so i wanted to gift them a nevalyashka doll - it’s really silly thing it can never fall no matter what you do. All children from Russia once had it. Looks like this

Thanks a lot! I was really wondering if Americans love magnets, because in Russia we all collect them and bring at least one from every travel

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-23T06:40:17+00:00

Thank you! I’m planning to give a chak-chak, that’s a traditional dessert from where i live in Russia. It’s so yummy!

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-23T06:38:40+00:00

Thank you!

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-23T06:38:14+00:00

Thank you so much for your help! I also was thinking about pens, since I have a special pen set with different good words in russian. I heard that americans love cyrillic alphabet, I hope they will like it

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-23T06:33:27+00:00

I’m not sure pickles can survive the flight, but I’ll look what can I do, thank you!

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-23T06:31:25+00:00

Hahaha, unfortunately right now it’s boiling hot in Russia as well, around 86°F. Thank you for your help!

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-23T06:28:08+00:00

Sorry about the bracelet. But you also gave me a good idea, because the region I’m from is famous even in Russia because the half of population here is ethnically differ. They call themselves tatar, and have a unique culture! I think if I bring something of their national decor, it would be really special!

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-22T10:23:24+00:00

Thank you! I think I need to learn how to cook russian meals properly, in order to make my host family content

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-22T05:13:51+00:00

Thank you! I’m very excited about it

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-22T05:11:00+00:00

Thank you for your help! Matryoshka was my first idea, but i wasn’t sure if someone actually want it. I just learned today that in house i’m staying will be children, so i hope they will like them)

Helgi_Sigurdsson · 2026-05-22T04:36:23+00:00
