Thanks for taking a look.
I am relocating to Silicon Valley next year with my husband.
My husband has been there before me and has received a lot of support from local colleagues and neighbors
so I am planning to prepare a gift to thank him for that and to say hello to him.
My husband has told me that
・ cigarettes （ requests from colleagues ）
・ Japanese character stationery （ same as above ）
・ Japanese souvenirs （ Japanese towel etc ）
but are there any other things ！ that you were happy to receive?
Currently, I am thinking of
・ high-class soup stock or tea
・ sprinkles
・ saran wrap
・ source of hot spring water
・ Japanese or Western sweets （ things you can get at a department store Items that can be procured ）
・ Instant noodles （ May be hard to find locally, but not suitable as souvenirs ？ ）
・ Retort foods （ Same as above ）
etc.
We think the first step is the most important when greeting someone, so please let us know if you have any advice ！ or if you have any suggestions for the above items … that you think are not suitable.

Hello.

You are a wonderful wife to have prepared so many things for your husband. Some food items are not allowed, and people here are vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, and other organic oriented people Some amino acids in soup stock are not allowed, or meat extract in cup ramen noodles.
The sure thing is tea-based products and sweets.
Kit Kat and other green tea flavors are appreciated.
Other teas are also appreciated, and drip coffee is great because we don't have it here.

Stationery items also do not use pencils or erasers here （ just a squishy erase with a pen ）.
Maybe a cute notepad or masking tape would be nice.

？
I think they will be pleased with the luxury furikake, it doesn't take up much space and lasts a long time. ！
I think it would be good to have some delicious flavored nori (seaweed in a can), since we don't buy them here.

Just one thing. Saran wrap is usually available at Daiso.

Extreme care must be taken when it comes to food, as many items are prohibited from being brought into the country. Importation of anything of animal origin is prohibited. Even plant-derived items, such as seeds and items that may harbor insects, must be quarantined. Baked goods （ such as rice crackers, cookies, etc. ） do not seem to be a problem, but fresh confections may be a problem. （ Japanese confectionery stores can be found in Silicon Valley. ）
Japanese stationery seems to be appreciated because of its good quality. If the family has children （ Japanese ）, Japanese comic books, characters, DVDs, etc. would also be appreciated. If the recipient is an American, small Japanese souvenirs （ such as dolls, wallets, scarves, etc. ） are also likely to be appreciated.

Nice to meet you.
Just to be frank, I would like to take the practical test at the DMV in San Francisco, is there anyone who is kind enough to accompany me ？
I am thinking of 4/7 or 4/8 as my schedule.
We can provide a rental car.
We can pay you some compensation, or you can have a meal at a restaurant, etc.
I would appreciate it if you could contact me as soon as possible so that I can discuss this with my roommates and business associates.
Thank you very much.
