My DH and I returned with our wonderful son in June. We can't believe our dream has come true. We did not have any problems with declaring the money. Although we were not happy that we had to carry a large amount of cash with us, we didn't have any problems. As a matter of fact, the whole customs thing was really a joke. Nobody asked us anything and we were truthful on their declaration forms.
It is never to early to start getting ready for a trip to Russia. As for packing, I think that we took 6 bags with us. My poor husband lugged around 4 or 5 on the way back because I had our son. If you are using an agency they might have some of the stuff you mentioned in Russia for you to borrow. Our agency had an office with extra hair dryers, converters, hot pots, etc. Some of the people that traveled with us brought the gifts on the first trip and there were others that just gave cash as their gifts.
