When my parents came to Turkey - they brought a lot of things for us. A lot of it, I ordered and had shipped to their house: Some clothes we ordered online for both of us, a camera, a video monitor, chocolate chips, maple syrup, baby thermometer, diabetic sugar testing strips for Tolga's dad, specific deodorants, razors, makeup, cologne and sunblock that we like, and so on.
My mom also brought many gifts: Minnesota shirts for everybody, my aunt's honey, Minnesota wild rice, about fifteen outfits/pajamas for Teoman - ranging from 6 months to 2 years old, a dress for me ("For Easter!" she says enthusiastically),
She also brought washcloths. She gave me one, and said it was cleaning rag for me, "Because you can always use cleaning rags."
She packed packets of Kleenex. Seven economy size packages that holds ten packets each - totaling to about 70 packets of individually wrapped tissue packets.
She packed at least six bottles of travel-size hand sanitizer and five bars of soap.
An extra new toothbrush for me - "Because I thought you might need a toothbrush."
And several huge packages of wet wipes for the baby.
With all that, it was surprising that they had fit any clothes in their bags - they did, however, mom is constantly using the suitcase excuse to buy new clothes in each city we visit. ("I didn't bring many clothes because I wanted to make sure to bring all your things.")
