Heading to Ireland on business, what's an appropriate gift for my hosts?

Question

I'm travelling from the US to Ireland tonight, and was wondering what would be an appropriate gift for the office. Last year, someone from our Ireland office visited us in the States and brought a box of Irish cookies, 'biscuits' that were just wonderful. I'd like to return the favor, but I'm not sure what to bring. I was thinking chocolates, but they get way better chocolate over there than I can get here. What would be a good gift that's distinctly American for a group of about 10-15 Irish folks?

Answer 1

liquor! spaghetti with meatballs. and salad.

Answer 2

A very rare American bourbon or something like an exclusive print of the Rockies that they can hang in their office and remember you by.

Answer 3

an appology for being such a stupid country.

Answer 4

hi, i'm Irish, maybe i can help. Something authentically Ameriacan in nature that can be enjoyed by all which involves drinking it or eating it, preferably drink. A rare burboun or something like that. But NOT Jack Daniels or Jim Bean, we have LAODS of that here.

Alternatively a strange touch could be a printed crest of eack of their families framed. You can get the crest perhaps on the internet. It would be a traditional gift with a special touch and unexpected from an American (sorry but we dont expect ANY sensitivity from you guys). All you need is their surnames!

Good luck to ya,

daniel.

Answer 5

Depending on the region you come from, its great to bring something unique to that. For instance, I live in Northern California so I like to bring wine or Ghirardelli chocolates.

If you were from Texas, you may want to bring spicy salsa and some good Tex-Mex snacks. It doesn't need to be expensive, just something thoughtful that they probably couldn't get in Ireland...and something easy to share in an office is better (i.e. chips/salsa, box of chocolate, etc.)

Answer 6

a bottle of good old american sour...
