Hostess gift for family in Norway

I'll be traveling to Norway for Christmas to visit my boyfriend's family and I would appreciate any suggestions for a hostess gift.

This is a secret!<BR>My Aunt who has now lived in Norway about 50 years really misses blackberries and says they don't grow there naturally. One year I bought her 2 blackberry bushes so she could have a constant supply.However you are not allowed to take bushes into Norway so that's why it is a secret!

I have found that something &quot;regional&quot; from your particular part of the world is a great hit...a photo calendar (light/lays flat in luggage), local pottery, jams/jellies/spirits, picture book of your city/region etc.

Hi<BR><BR>I still say alcohol.<BR><BR>When a good whisky costs USD 100+ per bottle in the &quot;monopiliet&quot; (spelling ?) you understand why it makes sense !<BR><BR>Peter<BR>http://tlp.netfirms.com<BR>
