All the way from America...

My mom is on a 6-month first-time visit to the US and Canada. It's getting to the fag end of her sojourn, and she just asked me if any of us would like her to bring back souvenirs / gifts. I growled 'no electronic stuff, no battery-operated toys' for the son (of course, I didn't ask him before I decided), 'books and casual wear ok, if at all', and 'absolutely nothing for us'. Think of others and make a list of suitable stuff, I continued.
Curiosity got the better of us and my husband asked her if she was getting anything for herself....yes, a garlic peeler.
