Hi there,

I'm visiting Nairobi in the next few weeks and I have not been back in 25+ years. I've got lots of family there and want to bring some gift items for them from Canada.

Any ideas or thoughts on what I can bring? Any particular cookies, chocolates, perfumes, beauty products that people like to receive there as gifts but can't as it is not available there? I was thinking Maple Syrup but would people use it??

Any feedback asap would be great!!!

Thank you!
