My question is what can I send them from NY that still to this day cannot be bought down in the Villages ....I know such items like bread and bagels are always welcomed but hard to ship and maintain quality. My parents are very Italian an my mom approaching 80 yrs old still cooks daily she always says she misses fusilli pasta and certain whole tomatoes in the can but I was told that over the yrs many of these items have been available any suggestions on what I can send down that ships well and that they can't get from up north? Any ideas would be helpful thank you all!

The best gift of all....is YOU.
Does she have a Skype camera so that she can see you when you talk?
OR..Pictures of YOU in taken all around the old town in an album...or one of those wonderful electronic devices that switch them every few seconds.
A painting of you that you had done by one of your local artists of not great stature...
they are quite affordable.
Or the best ever...YOU, in a Santa hat on her doorstep.
You are the very spirit of Christmas to long to find just the right thing.
Merry Chrismas, good son.
