* knows the colours of your national flag and can provide a knitted scarf and matching hat at 24hrs notice.
had this gift when I had to go back to NZ June last year, nice gesture, but she was a little confused and I got the blue and white of Finland. New Zealand/Finland, long way away, cold, snow, easy mistake to make. Gave them to a friend's wife as 'hand-knitted for you in Thailand' - she was thrilled.
