Gift for someone joining the Peace Corps?

kfarb · Feb 10th, 2010, 16:01 PM

I have a very good friend joining/joined the Peace Corp. He leaves in June for Mongolia to teach english. I want to get him a very useful and/or meaningful gift. He means a lot to me, I can't spend I big amount but I could probably spend up to $200 or $250. Any ideas??

Have a Peace Corps friend who just returned from a few years in Romania..I sent a quick question to him and I'll post his thoughts and suggestions as soon as he gets back to me

Ok, this is what he said:

''I would recommend clothing... depending on where in mongolia, they may need some high end winter gear or equipment. other than that, I can't think of anything they'll need aside from maybe some petty cash for in country.''
