I just called the store in Pasadena, MosJan, and they've been very helpful. They're sending me some email information. But, I will certainly check-out your newest suggestion.

Thank you so much, MosJan. I will certainly look into Planet Armenia and the link. All you guys on this thread have been enormously helpful.

That link seems to be a treasure trove of possiblities, Sip.

Thank you so much for that Artsakh suggestion, vava. I will look into it.

I'll be away on business in another city, Sip, so, at least, I want the gift to be right. There's no mention of a store registration on the invitation. But because Armenia -- and accomplishments of his countrymen -- are such a source of pride for him, I was hoping to find something uniquely Armenian...and perhaps sentiments on a card translated into Armenian. Thanks for giving it so much thought.

Thanks for your insite, k77. I think will do that. It's reassuring to know it's not impersonal or bad form.

Thank you so much, Sip. But, I'm still open to other suggestions, if something strikes you. I, too, am in L.A.

I thought it would be too impersonal, Sip

I'd like someone to give me those things, g. I'm looking for something Armenian that has special significance -- a reminder of home.

An Armenian friend here in the U.S. is marrying an Armenian girl coming over to the States at the end of September. He’s fiercely proud of his heritage. Rather then give them something generic (blenders, toasters…), I’d like to give them something uniquely Armenian and make her feel welcome to the country. Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
