About expensive presents

My friend’s daughter, a high school student, went to Thailand as an exchange student a few months ago.

The Thai home that she stayed at was very rich. So when she came back to Japan, they gave her many various and expensive things as souvenirs.

And this time, a Thai girl came to Japan as an exchange student. Now this girl is the child of home that my friend’s daughter stayed at in Thailand.

The Thai girl stays at my friend’s house now.

In other words, a Japanese girl and A Thai girl exchanged at home each other.

The Thai girl gave the Japanese host family each souvenir. For example, a silk scarf for host mother, mother, a brand tie neck for host father, two expensive bags for two daughters, and I don’t know what she gave to other host family members, their son and grandmother.
My friend said to me “Anyway the amount of souvenirs that she brought from Thailand is very high.”

She asked me what to give the Thai girl and her family. She’s ready to give a yukata set for the girl as a souvenir. A yukata set costs about 10,000 yen. My friend is going to buy something to the girl’s family members.

I said to her, “I think you don’t have to give an exchange student expensive presents as an souvenir. You should help her to make a good memories instead of expensive presents.”
