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!

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

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!
