We gave our foster mother and teenaged sons gifts at each visit trip. I found a nice selection of men's wallets, belts and baseball caps at tj maxx and Ross. I bought a nice purse that included a wallet and a miniature umbrella at Target! Chocolates, baseball caps, American candy were popular with the teens...as were American cd's. I gave the boys a portable cd player and the Grammy nominees cd on one visit - figured that would give them a good taste of current popular music.
At the pick up trip I gave the foster mother a necklace with interlocking hearts, a Willow Tree figurine of a woman holding a baby and some small decorative items for her house. I enjoyed buying things for her after I met her the first time! OH - if you have room, send a disposible camera in the bag so you can have pics of your baby with the foster family. Seeing the photos gave me some really good ideas of things they needed or might like for their home!
