Powdered milk... yes, a big one that I didn't know about beforehand.  A definite on my next trip!!

Damn! I'll have to put the "1967" Chevelle SS back in the garage.

I think my invitation letter is fine. I have all her info and photo of her Chinese Id, and itinerary dates with Hotel confirmation and contact. I hope to have the visa in about 10 days.

Many great and imaginative ideas here, THANKS! I'll need a bigger suitcase and add about $400 to the trip cost though! LOL

fivetrout:
Oh! and do you wrap gifts? Name tags? Or just open the suitcase for a free for all? Hahaha

IrishGuy65:
I had some of those cheap gift bags... all red.  I remember reading somewhere red was the best color to give gifts in.. something about luck...

I didn't give anything out the first night I arrived.  I got to the hotel and got comfortable.  The following morning, I got all the gifts sorted and put into bags.  I gave Lisa and her daughter Amy theirs the next morning at morning tea.  I reused their bags, so i'd have enough.  They helped me decide who should get what.  I laid out all the gifts I'd brought, and they helped me, as they know their friends and family better than I do. 

I think it also made them feel good about the gift giving, as they were part of it.
