Ok, I'm leaving for Wales in 10 days and i need to have gifts for my host family (an 18 year old guy, a 19 year old girl, a 15 year old girl, and their parents who are teachers). I have no clue what to get them,the gifts should be between 10$ and 15$. Can any of you help me?

Also, I'm going to london for a few days and was wondering if any of you could recomend some good pubs?

Book:
Pubs in Oxford:
The Trout (Port Meadow, quite a trek) is a must-visit pub. The Turf is a classic student venue, The Grapes is a small intimate place that's one of my favourites, and the Eagle and Child has the Tolkien connection and does the best quiz (Tues evenings). The Duke of Monmouth (Abingdon Road) does the most amazing steak, while the Radcliffe Arms (Jericho) does the cheapest food. Email me while in Ox - I'm there for the next five days.

JT.. not so good on London pubs I'm afraid. Covent Garden has some good ones, I'm quite a fan of the food at the Nag's Head. As for the gifts... wow... no clue. I would suggest novels or something for the teacher parents... for the kids, something that you would like would probably do for the guy, and perhaps CDs for the girls? Would that work? I'm hopeless at gifts...

Thankee... Don't know your email, though. I just assume it's in your profile.
