My DD2 has a music exchange visit coming up next week. The student, from Spain, is coming here for a week (with a return visit planned for DD2 in March next year) next weekend. The student will be a girl, 14-15 years old and is obviously ‘in to’ music (it’s not an MFL exchange btw, just music, all students have a good level of spoken English). There are a lot of music events and school events planned already but I’m busy planning a visit somewhere or two (we live near quite a few English Heritage sites, so planning visiting there), planning the menu (I am not a great cook
and we’re vegetarian and don’t know if the visiting student is or isn’t vegetarian too, so a lot of room for disasters
), but, and especially as it’s coming up to Christmas and DDs will both have their Beauty Advent Calendars, I would really like to buy a nice present for the Spanish Student to take home. But I haven’t the first idea what to get! All I know about them is, as above, they will be a girl and 14/15 years old. I had a vague idea of getting something uniquely ‘British’, but got stuck on food and drink that I don’t think are either age appropriate (we live near Chapel Down
), or things that will be available in Spain anyway. So, please send me your brilliant ideas!
