    Hi all,
    Lookin for some suggestions for gifts for an American family I am going to visit for Thanksgiving the end of next week. I'm not staying with them but I will spend the day with them eating their food etc..

    Wanna bring something more than the standard bottle of wine, possible something Irish (you know they'll love that!).

    Profiles:
    - Standard mid-50s couple
    - 22 yr old "saccer" playing daughter (no funny ones on this!)

    A bottle of good Irish whiskey ? Whats your price range ?

    You can't go wrong with something from Newbridge Silverware. Something household or some of their fab Christmas tree decorations...or jewellery for ladies and a nice pen for gentleman? I had some people in US both family and business contacts to buy for last year and bought a load of Newbridge stuff in their own showrooms and they loved it! You can get their range in most good gift shops or check them out online.
