I thought about a gift, a nice bottle of wine or a box of chocolates, but I didn't know if she even liked those stuff.
Good point. I told my mom to bring chocolates. I don't think she ended up bringing anything.

That's what I would do. Ship it overnight with signature and it'll be safe. Why wait, especially until June?

Ordered 10 bags of the stuff from Amazon, thanks to your recommendation. Will be there Monday.
