Hi,

Whenever my colleagues from other stations visit, they come with nice stuff (usually the best their country makes, like chocolates, fabrics etc). It's become quite a culture.

On my end, anytime I visit them, I find myself walking empty handed. Though they would unassumingly ask "what did you bring from Kenya?". I always feel embarrassed.

After having thought hard about this every time, without ever coming up with something solid, I seek your help. Possible to suggest to me, something unique that espouses the Kenyan culture/heritage/practices? Easy to carry and that wouldn't need me to break the bank?

Our curvings are collectors items. Kiondo, Sandals, unique paintings. My grandma always says its rude to visit anyone without something, no matter who they are family friends colleagues etc

I always carry Kenyan tea and coffee for my jungu colleagues, especially the men, Necklaces and kikois for the ladies, T-shirts branded Kenya, hakuna matata etc for my African colleagues. Chocolates and sweets from abroad for my Kenyan colleagues, hand lotions for my close galfriends.

a mixture of british, africans, and few americans..

i'm sure gifting would vary between them, right?
