I am praying God's provision and perfect plan for you and your family:) My tip: if you can possibly take some bubble wrap with you, bringing home the coffee pot might be possible. I brought home some soapstone things from Kenya that way and most were still intact.

No, coffee pots do not travel well. We bought three and two broke! I never thought about wine glasses. What a neat thing to be able to give to your child/ren one their wedding day!<br /><br />OliviaOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887290107939234336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664434225679612529.post-29519410035373070042011-01-13T09:23:26.451-08:002011-01-13T09:23:26.451-08:00Hi- we use NICKEL CROSSES on our Christmas tree!! ...Hi- we use NICKEL CROSSES on our Christmas tree!! Henry loves to put "his" crosses on the tree. It's so sweet!!<br />Also, when you go shopping you can find children songs on CD! They are very fun- you may hear Twinkle twinkle when in Amharic. <br />CandyRob and Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10635406179272441873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664434225679612529.post-81240178189758590902011-01-11T11:03:38.998-08:002011-01-11T11:03:38.998-08:00Great post, Debb!

I'm sure that they probably make beautiful bed coverings in ET from those beautiful fabrics:) <br />I can't WAIT to go!!! More eager now than ever!<br /><br />Here's to a quick referral for you!

We go back and forth on each other's blogs and this may be helpful :)<br /><br />2- Here is a link to another blog that talked about places to shop at, eat and stay in ET and they also listed some items they bought their children (a boy and a girl) that I thought were really cool!<br /><br />http://planaethiopia.blogspot.com/2010/11/ethiopian-travel-tips.htmlRandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10768859196298707964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664434225679612529.post-35054389170057788512011-01-11T08:06:36.397-08:002011-01-11T08:06:36.397-08:00LOVE this post and I will be refering back to it s...LOVE this post and I will be refering back to it several times as we get ready to travel in the coming months!

You pretty much listed everything we came up with, though the spices and wine glasses were new! My husband and i would love to purchase 17 items to give to our little one(s) on their birthday, and on their 18th we'd love to take them back to Ethiopia. Assuming of course we don't make it back before then. LOL!<br /><br />i also want to pick up a hat like this, as i think it'd be adorable in pictures!<br />http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lC_enMmT7HI/TIQBCIubLzI/AAAAAAAACes/dXnR-vyRg7Y/s1600/Copy+of+Big+heads,+little+hats.jpgJodes and Bozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16567142629472190507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664434225679612529.post-40144997329996121592011-01-11T06:30:39.132-08:002011-01-11T06:30:39.132-08:00These are great ideas!

I hope we get to hear some live music while we're there. I suggest the Ethiopiques series. We have several of them now. My favorite is Ethiopiques #7 Ere Mela Mela. If you haven't heard it, give it a listen! : )Brandy Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161885111936637875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664434225679612529.post-4801103888053823992011-01-11T00:28:35.388-08:002011-01-11T00:28:35.388-08:00I want to purchase a mesob table!
