What would you want a house guest from Florida to bring you as a gift?


I live in Florida and am going to visit a friend in Louisiana. She's invited me to spend the weekend at her house. What gift can I bring her from Florida? All I can think of is saltwater taffy, but I don't know if she would even like that. Can you think of anything you would want from Florida?

We're both women - this isn't a romantic thing, just a friend visiting a friend.

OHHH that is easy every time we go down to FL I get these awesome Key Lime Cookies! They are the best, I also stock up on Key Lime candy. Yummy! I guess it really depends what your friend likes a bottle of wine from a FL vineyard is always nice. A nice ocean picture frame, wind chime or something like would be nice. They every time she sees it she can think of you in the warm weather! You could always do a fruit basket with oranges, grapefruits and nuts from the area. Can鈥檛 get more FL than that. Take a vase and fill it with sand and shells, place a candle in it that is a good gift and hey you made it right. Take a wreath and glue seashells and other beach things on it. Paint flower pots for her garden that represent FL like Palm Trees. You really need to think about what she likes and think from there. I know she will like whatever you bring here; the most important thing is seeing you right. Have a wonderful time!


Edit here is some more information for you!!!!!
I got a box of the Key Lime cookies in St. Augustine about 2 months ago. I think they were called Kermit's Key Lime cookies. I also believe you can order them online and have them delievered to your door.
For the candle what I would do is find a vase that you like, or glass holder of any kind that would fit a candle, put the shells on the bottom, I would say about 2 inches of shells then place sand on top so approx 2-3 inches of that. Place candle in sand, I might also hot glue some shells around the outside that would be very pretty, or even a bow at the top of the glass container that would spice it up. Here are some craft sites that might help you, you can always treak their ideas:

This site has a picture of the sand candle holder it is really cute and very easy to make it also has directions!!! I think it would cost you like $10 to make, you figure about $5 for the glass, sand and shells are free and about $5 for the candle and ribbon.

This one is a little harder to make, but this site has directions and a picture for a guide. They are really cute and use tea lights.
