how about one or more of the following:
locally made chocolates or candies, wrapped in a cute package (must be made in America, of course!)
bag of Starbucks coffee beans to grind
T-shirts from your hometown or from a major US city (New York, Chicago, etc.)
If they read English, newly published best-selling books by American authors, or old favorites
pair of Levi jeaans
Nike gym shoes
DVD player or IPOD (if you have the money!) - and make sure you have the connectors so it will work with foreign plugs & electricity. I know this is a BIG present. I know some friends who go back to India every once in a while and they "have" to bring big things like VCR's and stuff to all the relatives. I'm not sure if this is right for your situation, though!
let us know what you decide!
