Two wrapped up sugar cubes from Istanbul - a long story. And my friend sent me the funniest postcard with a recipe for Scottish rock cakes on the front once.
two swizzle sticks wrapped up in a serviette all inscribed with the Clarence Hotel logo stuffed inside a really tacky christmas card( a friend was in Dublin and stopped in for a drink, remembered her friend with the U2 obsession . . . ) my husband and parents were a little put out that the armani sunnies they had sprung for got relegated to 2nd fave pressy that year!!!
