Bringing gifts to the orphanage

I found a list of things to bring as gifts for the nannies and the babies. It is suggested not to bring anything that was made in China. It is really hard to find items that AREN'T made in China!

For the nannies they suggest:
Coffee mugs with English writing on them
herbal tea bags (especially lemon or raspberry)
candies or chocolates
colorful knit gloves
heavy cotton or wool socks
lipstick, cosmetics or lotions
Disney items

For the babies at the orphanage:
crib sheets, blankets or quilts
walkers
small plastic toys (especially ones that make noise without batteries)
12 month clothing

Each child has three nannies during a 24 hour time frame. There are about 8-10 children per nanny. It will be fun picking out gifts for the three women who took care of our little one!
