@ Topi:

They are all nice gifts! The caramels and chocolate would be well received I am sure! :-)
It is great that there are different things for each family member, instead of buying the same gift for everyone... :wave:

Hey, I'm nothing if not discreet. I would never "out" you in public.

I heard that caramels are the sign of death for the Japanese, either that or used as a laxative, I can't remember which. They like cufflinks, but will refer to them as "kafurinku". Also most Japanese people have seizures when they see the union jack so you may want to check on that in advance. The playing cards are ok, but you're lucky they're not 004 playing cards, because the number four is very unlucky.
:D
