We were instructed by our agency to bring 5-7 gifts for the Ayis (nannies) at the orphanage. We decided that travel sized items would be good and decided on Bath and Body Works. We begged the store manager for donations...didn't work...then we begged for coupons...didn't work...initially. When they saw how many items we were buying the manager suddenly appeared with a 10%off coupon that she had "forgotten" that they had. Oh well, every little bit helps! They threw in the red bags for free. I thought this would be a nice gift, one spray bottle of body cologne, one bottle of body lotion, one bottle of scented antibacterial hand sanitizer and one bar of scented glycerin soap. I'm still thinking about getting those little bottles of bon bons fingernail polish to put in each bag, but I'm not sure. We were told to not get anything that is made in China. You don't realize how hard that is to do until you start looking at the backs of different items!
