Hi,
I want to mail gifts from th U.S. to friends in China. But the U.S. Postal Service has a list of things that Chinese government says is prohibited. Guns, ammo, meat, etc., I can understand those. But it also lists jewelry, Wrist-watches, cameras, etc., as prohibited, and CDs or DVDs seem to be restricted too.

I was thinking of sending inexpensive women's jewelry (like $40 or $50 USD, not diamonds and emeralds). But it looks like even inexpensive jewelry is a no-no. Can you give me any suggestions on what would be an appropriate birthday gift for a good lady friend - something that wouldn't be confiscated by customs? Thanks.
