Good idea! I love Crabtree & Evelyn. I'll head over to the mall. And I especially like the idea of putting together a gift basket -- stroke of genius, Kathy! Because I really want to be sure to separate what they asked us to pick up for them, versus what we are giving them as a token of our great appreciation for all they are doing. A gift basket is a loving gesture from people who care about you, as opposed to a bag of goods, y'know?

They live in a compound that includes a Costa Rican family, whom they befriended when they were down there for a vacation. I was reading that in Costa Rica (as in many other cultures) it's expected that when you visit someone's home from out of town, you should bring something as a gift that is unique to your home. So I'll put together two gift baskets, -- one for them, and one for the family we will surely meet.
