I considered that this might be the best place to put this request being as the folk on here are all seasoned travellers!
My 29 year old godson is going overseas in a month or so (Germany, Russia, Scandinavia) and I want to get him a useful gift. He is pretty well organised with appropriate clothing, power adaptors, luggage etc. I was looking at thingies that hold a charge for phone/ipad etc, but he reckons most of the tour coaches have a power supply, and the aircraft as well. He doesn't reckon to sleep on the plane, so no need for a blow up neck cushion!
So I am scratching my head a bit. Thinking tickets to some event in the various cities he is staying in, but I really only know that he will be in Berlin initially, for almost a week, and I looked on visitberlin.de or somesuch, and there doesn't seem to be any events on for the dates he is there. He joins a tour from Berlin, so I guess most things will be organised from then on. He will be visiting Norway on his own towards the end of his trip - mid to late August.
Any ideas though for Berlin, St Petersburg, Moscow, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm or Oslo would be appreciated, as I think he has some spare time in these cities.
So. Does anyone have any ideas? I want to get him something that he will actually use/need rather than some crap that is going to take up luggage space - or worse, just stay at home.
Useful/funny/inappropriate responses all welcome!
